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.

There have been "sketches" of several scenarios. Contrary to what some clueless people stated above, it absolutely is structurally and logistically possible.

And NO it would NOT require Mikes habitat or the PMAC to be modified... only the removal of the road, and trees.

If the US can go to the moon, LSU could figure out how to add a NEZ expansion.

With that being said, no they won't add a NEZ expansion... probably not in my lifetime anyway
