They did this prior to the start of construction. I remember thinking, "why don't they just add 100 seats to make it. 100k?".

Well, it looks like they planned to add expansion room for later on, then they decided to fill it in.

Look at this very old rendering showing where the ribbon board were to be placed...



...notice the empty areas under the video screens, and at the end of the suites. Now look at the most current pic...



...all of those areas have been filled in. They must have found some wiggle room in the budget, and decided to add in the spaces they had previously decided to leave for later on.

At least, that's my theory. Who knows? LSU has really kept us in the dark with this expansion.
