I also take it that you were not an LSU football fan in the early 90s or a Saints fan in the early 2000s

The Box definitely needs an upgrade, but the majority of your ideas are stupid.

Too much dirt? That is the easiest thing in the world to bring in.

Take down the Intimidator? Kick rocks!

We also don't need a new Natatorium. Go away.

Are you too stupid to realize the batters seeing the ball is more important than your wants

The intimidator is awesome

I am ok with that. It will remove the riff raff that takes up parking and tailgate space and never goes to a single game.

maybe, but you have to put the price correctly

$30 per car and $75 if you want to bring a pull trailer

You’ve obviously never been in there and then been to other SEC pools.... place is a shithole that was built as cheap as possible 35 years ago for some Olympic festival. Probably the worst natatorium for a major school in the country

Why is the Intimidator embarrassing?

Re the several "cheaply built" comments, remember that this was Skip's Crown Jewel of stadiums and he traveled the country and spent yrs putting it together. The New Box is 100 % Skip's. Outside the SEC, it's the Mecca of college baseball. Non conference visiting teams are in awe of it. Inside the league, it's still a great ball park, with the crowds having a lot to do with that, but it is far from # 1 in the league. Attendance / lack of money is not the problem.

I agree that Alex Box could use some well thought out upgrades - but overall it's a nice park but it seems fan opinion of the park keeps diminishing over time for some reason. I'm sick about hearing about State's ballpark. Admitting you are jealous of State for any reason is just weak.

We need to tone down the hyperbole though. Alex Box is by no means an "embarrassment ". The intimidator is great but even if you didn't like it calling it an "embarrassment" is just stupid hyperbole.

If the box gets all the upgrades that you mention then people would bitch about it having no resemblance to the old box whatsoever. Bottom line, no upgrades will make everyone happy.

And why are people so obsessed with a slab of grass? Is it just because other schools have it? I’d prefer seating ( even if it’s just bleachers) to the ground.

The Box needed an upgrade the day it was built. LSU did a terrible job and just went as cheap as they could



This. Those fricking cheap arse bleachers down the baselines are terrible when you compare to Texas A&M or Arkansas or MSU.

Add a championship to the intimidator and it's suddenly better.

You know that’s not my point at all. It’s your consumption of something you dislike. Continually. It really is that simple to not consume it if you dislike it.
