re: Question about Tiger Stadium

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!
