I guess it is something for like 100 people who want to pay to set in those seats. Other than that, its ugly and just highlights LSU's inability to do renovations well. And they did all that to only move one of the bullpens.

Seems like a half-assed fundraiser to me.

Both bullpens are in a different location

They used player safety to create more premium seating. It’s not an improvement.

This athletic department sure does fricking love its premium seating at premium prices while continuing to do nothing but raise prices of everything on everyone else as well.

Oh you're right. The visitors pen is now boxed in ten feet away from where it was originally

Visitor bullpen is still in foul territory but now “protected.”

Which means it is no longer in play.

I do not like the design either I have a feeling it’s going to look bad and even take away from the atmosphere. The bullpens are out of play great but this better be just the first phase of major renovation.

Top right picture seems like a lot of wasted space

Embarrassing half assed attempt. at least they got the home bullpen moved. We are better than this. We dont need any more premium seats. Get rid of the bleachers and put in chair backs for the regular folks

Not for the people paying to sit in the first row of bleachers

I think the right thing to do for premium seating would have been to add to the suites that we already have. Extend the suites, roof, and concourse down both sides. Pretty sure there is more money to made from those. Move both bullpens and leave field as is.

Of course though, money is always an issue but this just looks/feels like a cheap attempt at a money grab hiding behind “renovations”.

A. the field is definitely not above the seats.

B. The coaches and players are actually in a place that is "dugout" and lower than field level. They don't seem to complain about the view.
