Sam Houston came to town. My wife and I decided that it was a unique opportunity, so we bought a pair of tickets in the front row.



It really is a great view from up there, even if the view of the action isn't perfect.

Well, I guess I could say it officially opened, but that doesn't do justice to the event that an LSU home game is and should be.

I miss having 7 in the backfield. I will never forget that performance vs. Ole Miss when he ran for 284

That was a fun game. Ended up sitting next to these mouthy Ole Miss dudes. Their faces were priceless when LF7 hit those long TD runs. He ripped their souls out when he steamrolled that DB down the sideline. ‘Twas a good time.

What a waste of money , they really could have updated the whole stadium with money spent on that whole project. Sadly they have no clue what really matters to the fans.

I've sat up there a handful of times. Awesome view of MRB and BR skyline and campus. Can actually see the play develop better up there than at the bottom of the lowers. The concourse is 20 yards wide. And you can literally go to the bathroom in less than a minute because they are enourmous. Concession lines are incredibly short too. But....they turned it premium....and for good reason

Haters gonna hate

That video game perspective is actually really cool from behind the offense.

I’d like to sit up there one game, I like that straight on view from overhead.
