Alex Box Renovations

You would've thought they could have at least centered it..

PM mentioned a new scoreboard in RF as well, smaller version will include additional stats.
Not sure where that stands from a timing standpoint.

The new addition to indoor batting cage area which will include weight room and locker facilities should be complete somewhere around April from what PM said.

Maybe one day they will add more chairback seating down the lines and a new batter's eye.

I don't think it was complete at the time. That's just the last picture I have seen. That was taken around August I believe.

Yep, looks like they're effectively doubling the space of that facility

"The new board will not have any static advertising, so it will be focused on baseball. It will have constantly updated in-game stats for batters, detailed pitch stats like pitch counts and speed, and will essentially function like a real-time box score. It’s an open canvas for us and we’re excited to see what we can do with it."

That's amazing (if true)... Can we please do the same with football??

Yeah. Let's get rid of all these damn ads so that LSU can raise ticket, concession and parking prices to make up for the lost revenue.

The new addition is a weight and cardio workout gym so that baseball players will have their own facility rather than having to schedule their workouts whenever the football players are not working out at the football ops building.

Also there will be locker/shower room just for former LSU baseball players who are in professional baseball. Those former players will be able to use the workout room in the off season and will have a place to shower and change clothes with an assigned locker space for them with their picture above their locker.

Mainieri said he's planning on using that "professional" locker room as an additional recruiting tool when recruits visit the Box.

I'm not saying get rid of ads, I'm saying put them somewhere where they aren't taking up scoreboard space... Not that difficult to do (Basketball has tiny ads on their brand new board, but 90% of that thing is basketball related and it's awesome)

So basically you are saying to hide the ads in places where the fans won't see them? Good marketing strategy.

Seems to be no wider but just a tad taller and without the analog clock.
