Would be

They have to do something to stay on top of the SEC arms race.

Never. This is it, no more expanding.

No way, we need to spruce up the bowl and make it the best in CFB next. drop $100M on all the concourse in 4 years

I'm not sure I like this idea. That would obstruct the view of the best side of the stadium. The concourses need a lot of work. Plus, I'd like to see LSU figure out a way to use those old dorms in some capacity. With the SEC Network money about to start pouring in, we should be able to overcome any financial burden with that pretty easily.

Screw the arms race. There is such thing as too big.

100k is it. Maybe a north wrap but that will be all suites with the road constraints.

TV and ticket prices are going to prevent additional mega expansion

It wouldn't surprise if in the next 20 years LSU pulls a Texas A&M and tears down and rebuilds part of the lower bowl. I don't want them to but it would not surprise me.

I doubt it happens, honestly. They'll do concourse work and MAYBE something with the dorms. I think the suites are done. They've reached the saturation point, IMO. There was one suite in the new expansion that didn't sell.

Not even close to how high LSU's third upper deck would be.

This. The next project has to be renovations of the lower bowl. Maybe even reduce the capacity of the lower bowl to increase leg room and other amminities.

I agree 100%

Time to fix up the interior of the TS.... Behind the bleachers, the area that looks 3rd world.

LSU should never expand TS, never. 102K is plenty big. The suggestions here as to what LSU should spend in updating the old bowl stadium are good. It is time for a 3-year plan to update TS financed by SECN $$$.

More than likely Tiger Stadium will NOT be getting taller.

MAYBE something to close out the other end zone, or MAYBE a roof on the East/West sides (Think Seattle or A&M student side).
