They do it weekly for football games all across the country. And football games are longer than baseball games by a good margin.

Football isn't selling out like it used to either, and there's a reason LSU always played night games in football.

Can we line the lazy river with a berm behind it?

New batters eye. Even Pearson dogged on it in his post game interview.

And they use totally different designs on each upgrade. All you have to do is Look at Tiger Stadium to see what bad design decisions look like.

Which makes me wonder why LSU won’t do anything like Penn State and commit $700m in upgrades all at once.

LSUAD does not have $700 million to spend on anything.

Our monies need to be focused primarily on NIL.

How many college baseball stadiums seat as many as the Box does?

They are missing a great opportunity for a 5-6 story hotel/short term rental with balconies overlooking left field and TS (similar to Dudy Noble). Partner with a major hotel chain and it will generate year round income. Football weekend tailgate suite rental waiting list would be a mile long. Suites for baseball weekends would be full as well.

It would also tie in perfectly with the proposed arena across Nicholson and the area would be ripe for an entertainment district. If needed, you could relocate the U-High baseball field and utilize it for a fan experience/training facility area.

With even a little vision, this entire process would be a profit and not cost center.

The whole stadium will be in the shade.

Those bare metal bleachers get so hot. I’m glad they are factoring-in the need for covered seating.
