A capital fundraising initiative was to be kicked off this Summer to raise money for a facility upgrade plan. Total cost will be nearly $625m over a 5 year plan. Major renovations to TS were to begin at conclusion of 2021 season. The funds will cover upgrades to most all current facilities.

Formal announcement plans may be pushed back to the Fall of this year.

More upgrades to TS? Where exactly? Closing in the remainder of the North end zone maybe?

Source? Link?

I would like them to reduce the number of seats, by adding real seats that are wider and with more leg room.
I think you should go for a more comfortable experience if you are going to get people to leave their Lazy Boys and 70+ UHD screens. After that, the priority would be to improve the wifi, the concessions and the bathrooms.

I'd totally eliminate the ability to use the internet anywhere in the stadium. Three fricking hours. Put your fricking phone away and focus on the fricking game for three fricking hours. You don't need to see highlights or scores. Concentrate on what is happening on the field for four quarters. Watch TGBFTL at half-time. Three fricking hours.

Could care less about concessions. I eat before the game. I can go three fricking hours without stuffing my face.

YES, improve the restrooms to where it doesn't take forever to get in and out. More stalls (Not pissing in a cattle trough next to a drunk cretin) and easier entry /exit.

If there are no plans re: PMAC total reno or replacement involved, theyve dropped the ball.

It will take a few million to do something about those Turkish prison restrooms in the south end zone of TS.

No link. The source comes from leadership in the Planning, Design & Construction.

Okay Boomer, congrats on killing crowds at sporting events... You do realize most major stadiums provide decent free wi-fi right? When I can, I love being able to pull stats, TV replays, etc...It's just next to impossible to do at LSU because of the lack of Wi-Fi infrastructure

No additions, possible reductions in lieu of luxury seating like TA&M

Why would they do that when they can't fill the stadium now.
The S endzone addition was stupid to do. Couldn't even sell out the s endzone stadium club this year because its too high up and not covered

If anything they should take seats out and add more premium seating

I don't think they'll ever put an upper deck on the NEZ. They'd have to close North Stadium Dr. to do that and too much pre-game would disappear. The team and band coming down the hill for instance. They'd of course be enough room for the team and band but where will the fans go? It's packed pre-game
