Watching the Round Rock Classic and looking at the Outfield Setup. They have a burm setup in the outfield then seating. Is this something that would be an option at Alex Box?

Tuned in to the Miss State game the other night, wow we are behind big time as far as stadiums go. The atmosphere at the game appeared to be incredible.

First thing that needs to be done before anything else is move the bullpens to the outfield.

1. Our player facilities are topnotch now.

2. Our current facilities did not hinder JJ from recruiting better than anyone in the nation. I agree to move the bullpens by 2024.

3. PMAC renovation is top $$$ priority. And the PMAC services multiple sports.

Also, I think berms are overrated. Chairback seats in place of where the bleachers are would be 100% better than a berm out there. Maybe a small berm somewhere in the outfield, but there should be more actual seats than grass out there.

Chairbacks down the lines needs to be first. The fact that we have bleachers is just embarrassing.

All chairback, non-aluminum seats would be better than a berm.

I don’t understand the appeal of sitting on the ground to watch a game, especially in the heat.

This will never happen at LSU. Y’all need to accept that and move on.

Bullpens in play are even more embarrassing... and dangerous.

Well, it services WBB, gym, and volleyball anyway. The other McMasterpiece doesn't really count as sport imho

Give the students a reason to show up, let em have R or L Field stands & tell the gray hairs to stfu and stop complaining about a little debauchery

I find it amazing that LSU is fine having the worst baseball environment on the entire conference.

I find it amazing that you are so dumb that think LSU has the "worst baseball environment ON the entire conference."

None of this has anything to do with improvements to Alex Box.

You don't have to sit on the ground. You bring in lawn chairs.

Move the bullpens, replace all bleachers with chair back seats and make it a fun place for students to go. Give me a party deck somewhere.

Our atmosphere sucks.

You should buy season tickets to sit there and only there

The RR berm has the bullpens built into them. Also has the walkway connecting the entire stadium with upper deck type seating in left. Ticket holders could have the covered seats with students on the berm. This design checks nearly all of the boxes for what people have always wanted or complained about

I like the big beer garden that they have as well. Agree with everyone else though that chair backs need to be in the entire stadium. Bleachers are high school.

I really liked the elevated covered bleachers in the outfield with the rocking chairs underneath. You can never have enough shade in Louisiana!
