Watched game on tv sat night. New addition looked awesome. Just thinking about how awesome the other endzone would look if they added on. Is it even a remote possibility one day.

There was a thread about this yesterday, and no it probably wouldn't.

Only if the Pete mac and tiger habitat is torn down. Not enough room to put up an exact match on the north end zone. Moreover, the road will have to be closed.

There's a few reason's this likely won't happen anytime soon. First, I don't think there is the demand for more tickets outside 1 or 2 games a year.

Second the room on the North side would be very tight, if it would fit at all.

I think it would be better to upgrade the current stadium rather than add more, including added bathrooms, concession stands, TV's, etc.

For the final time: It is NOT logistically or structurally possible.



Yes, hypothetically suites/stadium club only would be absurdly bad arse.

Something tells me I don't think there is any room.

Well the most important reason to why it won't be done is .......

It would never be ready in time

do not want

NEZ is the very last we have of the original lower bowl architecture with the coliseum/arch look.

I would hate to ruin the iconic visual that is the exterior of the north end zone. Not to mention the lack of room and the fact that that whole area just got a great facelift. The SEZ exterior has always been an eye-sore, so this was a huge upgrade. I just don't care for the idea of doing the same to the north, at least not in the next 20-25 years.

That thought crossed your mind? I wonder if it is just you?

So NEZ is probably not an option but could they not have added 50 more seats so we'd be the biggest in the SEC and larger than Tennessee?

The most they could possibly do is add maybe two more segments to the east and west uppers. They currently curve towards the south. They could add on to them so that they curve towards the north end zone as well

But we won't ever see a full blown north end zone expansion

i think it is absolutely a possibility...when it makes financial sense, it will happen...

I personally hope it doesn't happen though, as there is not much that I enjoy more than sitting in an upper deck on a crisp saturday night in the fall and watching the tigers play while also enjoying the view of the bridge and river....

For those saying there is no "room," I don't think that is accurate. LSU had considered adding suites (not general admission seating) to the north endzone. Now with the south endzone addition, I don't think the need is any longer there. Let's just update/upgrade the facility we have and enjoy it. The stadium is amazing and is plenty big enough.

There actually have been talks about doing a feasibility study on adding box suites ONLY on top of the NEZ, with the support structures not impeding the roman arches but situated to where they would come up from either side and a platform structure would be above the arches and not cover them up.
These suites would be built more over the existing stands than over the edge of the NEZ.

Glass elevators could be built on either side of the NEZ to transport patrons to the suites, and maybe even overhead walkways from the PMAC...

If they added box suites (to which there would always be a market for and a waiting list), it would probably add 1,500-5,500+ more seats to the capacity.

No we only play 2 good home games a year anyway. Spend the money on a legit basketball coach.
