At the time the fans did not want a new stadium.

Yeah, Ok, that’s not true. Maybe some of the cast of characters who based their lives off of LSU Baseball, the K lady types, didn’t, but the rest of us wanted either a new stadium or a complete reconstruction of the old Box. We expected a palace that would fit the program. Instead of that, we got a completely different ball park, with the intimidator and aluminum bleachers being the thing that tied the New to the Old. LSU Baseball got its new revenue sources that weren’t possible with the old Box, and kept the new Box folksy and cheap.


I was hyped about the renderings that Trahan Architects produced when the reality of a new stadium was coming together, but we didn’t get that either.
