Alleva Press Conference: Traffic, Parking, SEZ expansion, SEC network, etc.
Posted on 5/12/14 at 1:31 pm
Posted on 5/12/14 at 1:31 pm
LSU Athletics:
-AD Joe Alleva speaking at BR Press Club. Says LSU athletic budget this year will be again over $100 million.
Traffic/Parking:
-Alleva: Traffic consultant worked all 2013 home games to come up with better plan for 100,000-seat Tiger Stadium this fall.
-Alleva said contraflow is part of traffic consultant plan for Tiger Stadium. Requires cooperation from law enforcement.
South Endzone Expansion:
-Alleva on Tiger Stadium expansion: It's fantastic. Tiger Stadium has always had a reputation for being loud. It's going to be louder.
-Alleva on Tiger Stadium construction: working 24 hrs a day, lot of inside work now, I feel very confident they will be ready.
-Alleva on Tiger Stadium: I don't know if we need more than 100K seats. Long term I could see reducing capacity to put in bigger seats.
Recruiting:
-Alleva calls RB Leonard Fournette most publicized signee ever at #LSU. Well, maybe the most since Kevin Faulk, but definitely up there.
LSU Baseball:
-Alleva on #LSU getting a baseball regional: You really can't buy a regional anymore. They're supposed to go to top 16 teams.
SEC Network:
-Alleva on #SEC Network: will wire all #LSU venues, could ultimately cost up to $2 million.
-Alleva: SEC Network revenue uncertain. Needed to raise ticket prices this year to balance this year's budget.
-Alleva on SEC Network negotiations: We're not involved. I (#LSU) don't have any rights anymore.
Samgate:
-Alleva asked if #LSU is prepared to handle an openly gay player: "Absolutely. If they can play they can play."
Future Developments:
-Alleva on beer sales in Tiger Stadium: Little feedback from fans, but could see in 5-10 yrs. #SEC has rule against it.
-Alleva: #LSU has architect looking at creating more restroom space from old dormitory rooms beneath the stands.
-Alleva: Land being cleared across from Alex Box Stadium is for new tennis facility. Expects to be completed by March 2015.

Also, alcohol sales at baseball games would be fantastic. Beer is always made to be sold at baseball games.
working 24 hrs a day, lot of inside work now, I feel very confident they will be ready. WILL NEVER BE READY ON TIME

So did he let the cat out of the bag??
I guess the official capacity will be 99,000.

All chair-back with arm rests with cup-holders. Do it.

That's a great idea. Do it.

Did he really say getting to the stadium was not a problem? No, no it's not if you have a police escort!!! Contra flow will only work if they do something about those red lights making all the traffic stop and go off campus when leaving the game. Who the hell did they survey about all of this?

this is absolutely ridiculous. not only will everybody's cable/satellite bills go up, but ticket prices will too. what a joke.

I hope LSU didnt waste another 10K on coming up with a plan for traffic flow only to have it uncoordinated and no cohesion.
I'm not understanding this sudden focus on traffic.
More fans attended games 3-4 years ago and there wasn't near the traffic nightmare that occurred last year.
It was simply not coordinated. Signs indicate go this way, travel down the road, cop points to go anothers way and you eventually wind up at the same point again.
I don't think LSU took away 5K parking spots to cause such gridlock.
Install electronic signs indicating lots are full or near capacity. Have all traffic personel on the same page. It seemed like there was a disconnect with LSU police and EBR police hired for the game where traffic should go.

Traffic/Parking:
Ceres a good idea Joe, whatever routes/parking lots exits you publish on the website make sure the people working those same routes/parking lot exits know what they're supposed to do. Nothing worse than researching how to get in/out of an area only to get there and them send you the complete opposite direction.
