The Mississippi Board of Trustees, during its January 18 meeting, approved the $30 million project that will add 450-500 premium seats in a new structure down the third base line.

Well, is LSU going to keep up or keep its fans sitting in aluminum bleachers without individual chairs?

For all the money being brought in you would think the investment in facilities needs to happen sooner than later.
New PMAC
New Natatorium

Not as long as women's basketball is costing you $7million per year.

So they are making Swayze look even more like a frankenstein?

Every time they put a new addition in, it looks completely different from their last addition. Those "outfield seats" they put in last season after they won the title was hilariously bad.

The Box, for all of its warts, kicks the shite out of Swayze

LSU sucks arse with capital projects and keeping people in the loop. We are going to get a new arena but apparently that isn’t even today’s university “big announcement”. Like show the alums renderings, it’s bizarre what LSU doesn’t disclose.

The grandstand at ole miss is way cleaner and a more tasteful look, and they have an actual real student section that has character.

The box is like building a stadium off of an EA sports game. It’s okay to say the box sucks. Still we need a new arena (plus new MBB coach) first it impacts so many sports

The Box's concourse setting is way better than Ole Miss' cramped grandstand.

It's not as good as it should've been, not even close, but it's still better than Swayze.

That has nothing to do with the stadium itself.

Never thought of it like that but this is very accurate.

It’s just painfully generic with little to no character. Swayze is more cramped but there’s a little more to it than base amenities too.

Yes, we know Alex Box sucks. It was 10 years behind when they cut the ribbon. Thanks Skip!

Is Mulkeys salary included in the 7 million? If not shite that’s a couple more million they can use to fix up the baseball stadium.

I can see worrying about the basketball arena if the men’s team was worth a shite but the money is better spent on baseball.

If you’re hinting at Alex Box needing upgrades, you need to get in line.

The top of the list right now has to be the PMAC. It’s by far the most dated facility on campus. Hell I’d even put the tiger stadium concourses above Alex box as far as upgrades go.

The updates to the box mostly involve changing the way students are seated and the atmosphere which take very little effort and money from the administrators
