I sit in West sideline in the bowl, and since the SEZ upper was built, the audio/PA is awful. There seems to be only one PA speaker, directly under the NEZ scoreboard.

Whenever Dan Borne speaks, or the referee, or even piped in music plays, it sounds totally awful, muffled, and garbled. I don't expect the SEZ to complain (the sound would be coming right at you), or even the NEZ. But for the sidelines and the upper decks the PA is atrocious.

It would seem that the simple solution would be to put PA speakers throughout all four corners of the stadium for a true stereo experience.

What gives? Does anyone else have this experience?

That is upgraded. That's the bad part. They just redid it a few years ago. We couldn't hear shite in the east upper either.

Sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher. We should be able to do better than that.

The audio upgrade was done in 2013 before the SEZ upper was added. They need to come out and redo the audio system.

I think even the play clock was out for awhile at the beginning of the 2nd quarter.

Tiger Stadium having some infrastructure problems?

West sideline


Southeast, on the 20. 22 rows up, haven't heard the PA since the upgrades. Section 305. The electronics in Tiger Stadium are a fricking EMBARRASSMENT:

1. Analog TV's in the concession area that are either too dim to see or so fricking fuzzy it looks like old school rabbit ears.

2. SW Endzone replay monitor finally finished a game (Flordia) without major blocky frickups all over the place or shite missing entirely.

3. The game clock. It's not like its a new invention.

4. Shitty arse PA system, too much bass, not enough coverage. Take down the shitty SW replay screen that never works and replace it with speakers that we can hear on that side of the stadium.

5. (Not LSU's fault) AT&T is freaking terrible in the stadium. This is 2015, you charge premium prices for your shitty service. You know you're going to have 106k people in one place. Step up the coverage.

Yeah I agree with the ATT thing. But pretty sure Verizon is the "official" wireless provider of LSU.

Doesn't mean ATT couldn't figure out some way of getting more service.

423 is full of no fun old farts. But yes. I couldn't hear a thing from the speakers.

After the addition didn't they put speakers in the south, too? But they turned those off because of a bad echo effect.

Thanks for bringing this up because I have had same issue this year. I have sat on East Sideline, West sideline, and SEZ lower bowl upper and there are many things on the PA that you cant hear at all...

Yea that SW screen sucks, the PA sucks in the south part and also Sprint sucks in the stadium as well...

You go to Tiger Stadium for a game and you basically fall off of the map for 4 hours

Southwest upper 422. Could understand about 50% last night. One long penalty explanation was in Spanish as best I could tell.
