Its never been a determining factor for me, but I could see where it would be for some.

LSU has a billboard

Not really noteworthy IMO

I would have liked to see them all the way down the lines. Left and Right field could have used "permanent" seating. I agree that LF looks a little cheap.

And obviously... batter's eye and berm.

Dude, just go with it. It was a joke to symbolize the passion and history of LSU baseball

I wish they would've chairbacked the whole thing. Definitely agree about the berm and batter's eye. I was actually jealous of Ole Miss's atmosphere watching on TV last year when Sikes hit the homer off Nola in game 1. Place went nuts. Students were having a party in the outfield. I want that for us.

Watching the UC Ivine videos earlier gave me all the feels.

We were down by 3 in the last inning and the place was going nuts from the first batter. I truly miss that atmosphere.

I agree with chairbacks throughout. Alex Box would also be a lot better if concourse extended to foul lines

When it got to the seating outside of the grandstand area of Alex Box LSU could have done a lot better. the aluminum bleachers cheapen the place.

it's a pain to sit in the right field home run bleachers when you are tall, you don't have enough leg room.

You left the hall of fame off the amenities?


And again anyone ever seen a pic of Carolinas home plate entrance. You know the area that's supposed to be the focal point of the park? It's because they really don't have one.

I may have a different opinion of the park tomorrow night, but the thing that gets me about Carolina Stadium is that it's like they tried to include too much:

- Berm
- Picknick seating
- Super wide SRO
- Home Run Bleachers
- Some strange row of seats above the SRO down one line

Grassy hill in the outfield. Usually, for general admission and you can bring coolers, your own chairs, etc. many college parks have them.

Agreed !!


Carolina Stadium

- All chair-back seating, Didn't go cheap on their fans...

Sad to say , LSU does that a lot , And when it comes to Facilities, amenities, comfort, pricing, and foods.
