Nope, Yates Construction. MAPP did the other side.

And they both lost $$$ I wouldn't expect either one to submit a bid. TAF is a tough customer.

I would like to see LSU update the scoreboards. Modernize them a little and upgrade the PA system. I don't want HUGE jumbotrons but a little larger than the ones we have now would be nice.

The scoreboards are relatively new, and they weren't cheap. I wouldn't expect them to be replaced too soon.

Went there in '06, the view is nosebleed, the seat space ridiculously small..but did enjoy the trapped accoustical noise.

The Tenn fans we sat by said that they had added 10k seats to the stadium one off-season some years back without doing any construction. They just scraped the seat numbers off and moved them closer together. That made sense to me because I literally had to watch the game sideways. I don't wan that for TS.

I agree, fix the dorm rooms in Tiger Stadium, suites, restaurant, casino, gold club whatever. It's like owning a nice house and two rooms are f't up. Could be some revenue there LSU is missing out on.

My understanding is that there is some serious asbestos abatement that needs to take place before the dorms can be used. Also, they would have to meet ADA in order to be used. They outlook on this has so far been why do one if you can't do the other.

The scoreboards were installed in 1999, and they were actually donated by Cox or some other entity. It was part of a statewide deal and you will notice that several other schools in the state have the exact same scoreboards. The scoreboards, though an upgrade at the time for LSU, were already antiquated at the time of installation.
