I did not say it was warranted.....I think the one thing that this weekend has showed us is that most LSU baseball fans aren't the smart, level-headed fans that we think we are.

i cant put it above the irvine game because that was an elimination game. but for me personally it would be #2.

I think its in a pretty good location. A few improvements for pedestrians would make it nicer. An elevated footbridge over the intersection and railroad tracks would be nice. Street lighting would be a huge plus as well.

unless a concept that would integrate LSU's architecture can be developed, i would be against this. But yes the road needs to be widened and made like a road should be that approaches the best baseball facility in the NCAA.

I see nothing wrong with the new box and where it's located.

its a pipe dream but they need to bulldoze uhigh's field and build it somewhere else and use that valuable area for RV tailgating or something else cool.

yep. Ill bring that up to my inside sources and they might make it happen.

I mean the PP sales would cover the costs.

Where would you have put it? Not a whole lot of options

I like the idea.

Blue Bayou did it, so I am sure LSU could do it.

Perhaps something that matched the north and south gates?

i just dont think the traffic would warrant it. it would only be used for BIG games in the spring and could possibly be a liability during football season.

how hard is using the damn cross walk. there are cops their that basically stop traffic every time a fan is at the intersection.

or just dont park across nicholson. i guess the only reason to park there is if you tailgate there.
