LSU's Tiger Stadium: Crazy Ideas
Posted on 10/29/16 at 1:02 pm

LSU's stadium is big enough (arguably too large considering the parking and traffic challenges).
And we know that there are too many structural issues with expansion of the North End Zone side, so the stadium is "topped off" in size and seats.
So, what are the ideas for changes beyond the current configuration. Note: This is just a fun discussion topic, so expression that "no change" is best is more than fine as an opinion.
Now. What crazy ideas are possible?
Texas A&M, Washington and Alabama come to mind.
A "cheater" overhang in each stadium helps to retain the sound on the field. Granted, each of these could be justified for rain protection, but the point is that they undoubtedly help keep the noise in the stadium.
LSU is called "Death Valley" due to the vertical steepness of the natural stadium contour, so we get some of the effect naturally.
So, the "crazy idea" is to build a "cheater" section in the North Endzone (behind/aside) the students, which would allow a form of height/arc symmetry to the South end zone architecture, but would double as a sound direction aid, and could triple as a cool art canvas (something simple and classic, like large block LSU on each side of the student section.
Here are the sound-aid designs/configurations I am referring to at Tx A&M, Washington and Alabama.
TAMU Sound Aid Overhang structure
Alabama stadium sound aid structural design
Washington Stadium Sound Aid Structural Design
Remember, I self labeled the idea "crazy", but after thinking it through more, this seems like the only thing that could be practically conceived in the Tiger Stadium evolution.
Or, do can you offer something else that practical or crazy?

Fair enough. Post has been edited.

I don't think it would flow naturally with the steepness of the WUD and EUD.
Now, if they put "cheaters" over the W/S/EUDs I would be fine with that.

Not needed.

We should close it all the way in and make it a dome.

I wish they would put the old "Geaux Tigers" pads back in the north corners of the fence around the field

The LSU logos on the south videos boards need to light up at night

They need to put a banner or something on that huge concrete wall outside the SE part of the stadium that was added when they put in the new upper deck

A giant mural. Paint it right on there.

At least paint something on the lego blocks.
A different style of cheater could go there and cover those up too.

Agreed. Mural of Tiger greats and LSU history.

But honestly that entire new addition from the outside is an abomination. The inside is legit. I still can't believe LSU approved the designs for the outside.

the easiest and cheapest thing they could do is repaint the outside out the stadium. ONE fricking color

I think the should add some suites in the NEZ and since it is a wall it will retain sound. Also it would bring in a lot of money.

Washington's stadium sucked. Those structures were annoying.
A&Ms Kyle Field used to be hideous but damn it looks amazing now.
I think our concourses need to be improved. The Independence Bowl in Shreveport has more appealing concourses.

Add Y.A. Tittle, Jim Taylor and Kevin Faulk to the ring of honor.

I love that the addition was built by an Alabama-based company. Sure they put a lot of heart and soul into it.

It's Big Enough, But it needs a Face lift on the West and East sides.
Those Sides of Tiger Stadium look pretty sad, I do know they tried adding new gates and sidewalks to the west side. But those gates remind me of a minor league softball stadium. They really Suck !!
The Look of the North end zone should just rap around both sides (east and west)
