How come we haven't ever put the overhead things that Oregon and Seattle have? Is it the way our stadium is built that wouldn't work for them?

Just imagine how loud TS would be if we had those. 92,000+ screaming and the sound is being pushed back down onto the field. I'm sure this has been discussed here before though.

If I thought you were serious I would say you really don't know shite about the concept of return on investment. How many seats will be added by your stupid assed fricking idea? The stadium is plenty loud enough if those there bother to make noise.

Not a good idea IMO. Having more shade than the turf can tollerate because of the upper decks is already an issue without having covers.

LSU needs to upgrade concourses, concessions & restrooms in the old stadium.

Louisiana's serfs continue to gobble up overpriced season tickets as if it's their duty to their beloved state institution. There's no need to enhance their gameday experience. Let them eat moldy nachos and drink slime cola.

The demand for luxury boxes is increasing. They serve as a marketing tool and tax deduction for corporate entities and a status symbol for Louisiana's ruling class. The SEZ expansion is more about increasing the number of luxury boxes than anything else.

-All chair back, wider seats with cup holders.

-Ability to use Smart phones w/o interruption

-Better replays - for every play, including controversial plays. Repeated replays with the same quality (in terms of camera angles) as shown on tv.

-Miles pre-game/halftime/after game interviews broadcasted to stadium.

-in restroom game coverage (at the very least the radio broadcast)

-more parking

-better and quicker exit routes after game to interstates.

-might as well sale alcohol since people sneak it in anyway. Plus, its not fair that club seats and suites get to consume their adult beverages.

-more creative half-time band performances.

-reduce the alma-mater at the beginning of game to just one verse. Bring back Tiger Rag to the Pre-game show.

-Allow Mike the Tiger loose on visitors sideline for all teams whose name starts with A or F.

Because we dont need gimmicks, noisemakers, or architecture to make our stadium louder

Making noise the ole fashioned way is the way to do it

I would prefer paving the concourses and ramps in bricks of gold. It would bring a real sense of wasted money... we could call it the vatican of college football instead of the cathedral of college football. It would also increase the intrinsic value of the stadium and provide security jobs 24/7/365 to Louisiana's finest to protect our investment.



In all seriousness, the experience is not effected by the level of noise, but by outdated accommodations that effect the comfort and quality of entertainment for non-diehard fans. Mentioned earlier are upgrades to the concourses and concessions such as reliable and clear radio broadcast to bathrooms, concourses with strategic placement of HDTV's showing TV broadcast of the game (not closed circuit), and if possible lounge areas for women/children to get out of the elements with concessions for revenue. But for me #1 is improving the in-game jumbotron/replay embarrassment with lots of ads and little substance.
