Take your time buddy. Relax. Take a deep breath. Take a sip of tea.. mow a little grass. Then come back, sit down and fully type your thread thoroughly.

They even opened the same year, didn't know that. Making my first trip to Carolina Stadium tomorrow, it looks very nice.

Pretty obvious Carolina's is better. No cheap bleachers everywhere, no eyesore advertisements

You left the hall of fame off the amenities?


And again anyone ever seen a pic of Carolinas home plate entrance. You know the area that's supposed to be the focal point of the park? It's because they really don't have one.

When it got to the seating outside of the grandstand area of Alex Box LSU could have done a lot better. the aluminum bleachers cheapen the place.


Agreed !!


Carolina Stadium

- All chair-back seating, Didn't go cheap on their fans...

Sad to say , LSU does that a lot , And when it comes to Facilities, amenities, comfort, pricing, and foods.

I'm hoping LSU has a string of big years coming up, so we can build on what we have.

I'm not saying more capacity, but....

-If you want the new Box to be as loud and intimidating as the old, you give the students a large outfield to sit like Ole Miss and what Bama has done.
-We're a major program. It's time we part ways with bleachers
-360 degree concourse
-MOAR suites like Baum.
-Something extra like State is doing with their condos. I doesn't have to be that, maybe even a fantastic club layout in left or right field.

LSU should have done all chair back seating. Looks so much better.

Does Carolina have metal bleachers instead of chair backs along the 1st and 3rd foul lines? If they have chair backs, their stadium is shite.

After seeing pictures of USCe stadium vs. Alex Box, I would take USCe all day. Alex Box had so much potential but went cheap with the metal bleachers.
