Question about Tiger Stadium
Posted on 10/16/19 at 9:06 am

Are there any plans for the North Endzone to be expanded or putting up a bigger modern video board?

103,000 is really big. Maybe they can have some other plans for that. But, LSU certainly does not need more capacity

There may be plans out there somewhere, but it would greatly impact the area between Tiger Stadium and Mile's enclosure so I'd guess there are just far away design ideas.
Besides, except for a few games a year, we don't come close to filling it now. And do we need MORE traffic on campus after games?

In this new world of huge TVs, man caves, every game televised, and decreased attendance...I think the days of bigger and bigger stadiums may be on its way out the door.

I dont think an expansion is necessary... but a bigger video board in the NEZ would be nice.

the only future expansion would include suites of some kind. there is enough general admission seats at this point. There is even talk of making the seat spaces wider and reducing capacity for more comfort before increasing capacity.

I wouldn't mind another expansion if they addressed the room between rows. Trying to give other people room to pass has become the bane of my stadium experience.

Florida is the only game that both upper decks have been full
No more expansion needed.
If anything reducing it might work better or make seats larger in upper deck and more fan friendly.
The north side is too close to that street to expand.
Eventually the front of the PMAC needs to be more atrium style and remove the ramps.
My guess is they may even close that road off one day.

I would think not anytime soon, but you never know what the future will behold.
I can all but guarantee that once the PMAC gets replaced, that whole area will be reconfigured so that there's space for future generations to do so if deemed necessary one day.

I think the next major upgrades to Tiger Stadium will be made underneath where the old dorms are.

No need for a bigger stadium. It would be cool to add some lounge space like Dallas has. Sort of a covered bar room where you can hang out and watch a live game

We actually currently have a fairly large jumbo-tron, but almost half of it is taken up by advertisements. I will be mad about this for a week after seeing MS State’s this weekend.

I would think lighting and better sound would be a priority upgrade. We truly only fill the stadium once or twice a year
Posted on 10/16/19 at 10:18 am to biggsc
103,000 is huge and college football attendance numbers are on the decline and will likely stay that way...I really think Tiger stadium is currently as big as it is ever going to be

They can't expand the north end zone because of the limited space. North Stadium Road, the PMAC and Mike's Habitat are already close enough, adding to the end zone will encroach even further.

Not a whole lot of point of expanding beyond what has already been done. As pointed out, TS only fills to capacity for really big games like Florida, Auburn, & Bama--once or twice a year. Additionally, we've likely reached the limit for how many people we can handle on campus during a big game. Adding another 10,000 seats will only increase the complaints about tailgating limits and post-game traffic.
The reality is that some stadiums have expanded beyond their reasonable size. For example, Alabama is planning on removing a lot of end-zone upper deck seats on one side to build a huge scoreboard screen.
As for the dorm rooms, it sounds like a good idea to make them tailgating rooms, but it's not practical. The security processes are getting stricter, which means that if you were to rent such a room, you wouldn't be able to bring anything of your own into them. Not your own food, and maybe not your own luggage. Who would want to sign up for that?
I wish all of that weren't true, but that's the foreseeable future of sports. The pain of going to a game is increasing, which makes such expansion and in-stadium suites counter-productive.
GEAUX TIGERS!

In my mind they 110% need a better video board in that endzone. Imagine one that wraps around almost the entirety of the north endzone.

The only added capacity they would probably add under the current attendance numbers would be more suites.

How about expanding the roads to multiple lanes to speed up traffic. In an out of Tiger Stadium
