Old Alex Box vs. New Alex Box...

I know this is probably Germans but this weekend in particular, the atmosphere in the new Alex Box just appears low key. I know the facility is top notch but the crowd appears detached. I've been to the old Box numerous times & I just don't get that "magic" eminating from the new Box, at least from a TV broadcast perspective.

Definitely why we lost this weekend
We never lost a series to a top 10 team at the old Box

you are correct. it's not a huge drop-off but it's noticeable to anyone who's been going for years.
that being said I really really like the new box and I think it's first class. I don't find myself missing the old box that much - just the memories...

I think you should call in to Mainiri's radio show tomorrow night and suggest we tear down the new Box and rebuild the old Box.
Please tell me you will do it!

OP is judging a stadium he hasn't even been to. What a wanker.

If there would have been more hits, home runs, and less pop ups. I guarantee you the atmosphere would have been rocking. Tough for the crowd to get up when we weren't able to string consecutive hits together.

IMHO I think LSU baseball has turned into a money making scheme no longer geared towards the fans. I grew up in the old box and remember days where u could bring freaking MCD's in the stadium and eat. Try and do that now. It cost freaking hondo if you bring your family. Rich folk go out there to waste time not cheer on there school.

the game was boring this same thing would happen in the old box.

I feel the same way.I was crucified in the past by all the " super fans." The atmosphere at the new box doesn't hold a candle to the charm of the old one. It reminds me of stark differences of a Chicago cubs game at Wrigley Field and a Chicago White sox game at Comiskey Park. The crowds are different. The atmosphere is different, and the overall experience is different. That's what the new box feels like to me every time I go to a game there.

New box has no culture it's 100% corporatized and all about the all mighty dollar.
