No thoughts but thanks for the novel

We cannot come anywhere near filling the stadium we have Even for big games. I guess there is demand for suites.

Can we build something twice as high as the current decks to put the Texas fans in

Not worth it. We would only sell it out once a year.
We don't need 10k more empty seats. Not a good look.
Also not enough parking. We could use a couple of high rise parking lots

I don't think any of this happens in the next 40 years. There's simply no need for it.
Why would you want the East and West sides updated? They are both fairly new (re)additions and hold a lot more asses than something similar to the south would.
What I expect to happen: one day the PMAC will get replaced. Where I don't know. But I can almost guarantee that the new footprint of that area will be more spacious so as to leave the option for rerouting N Stadium Dr. if need be.
Imagine moving the track out by the Box, moving the PMAC to the north end of the current track, moving Mike and the fanshop where the PMAC currently is, then you have plenty space to work with even if you have no intention of expanding TS.
The point is you don't know if future generations will want or need to expand. So when you have the option to create space, you do it.

the exterior of the south EZ addition already looks like hammered horseshite, so i'd prefer for them not to do anything.
we also don't need 120k seating capacity.

1. I do not think we could fill those seats
2. I would rather have chair backs on all seats
3. Improve concourses
4. Get rid of the gross food

Great blanket statement, bruh!
LSU could sell out a 111k capacity stadium for:
Alabama
Georgia
Florida
Auburn
Tennessee
Texas (2019)
USC (someday)
Ohio State (someday)
There was no reason for an SEZ Upper Deck. You could easily call someone delusional for bringing this topic up, yet it exists today.
Tiger Stadium official capacity: 102,321
#2 LSU vs #9 Auburn official attendance: 102,160
A top 10 matchup, a rivalry game, a heisman frontrunner LSU QB, and LSU having the best offense in the country did not sellout Tiger Stadium. What in the world makes you think we could fill another 9,000 seats.

Yea let's concentrate the traffic even more!

I'm all for making the endzone bigger. I think it would make it easier to score. I don't know why we wouldn't do both ends though.

Tiger Stadium was optimal at 82k

This. The problem isn't just parking and ticket demand, but ingress and egress. With the river to the west, the lakes to the east, there simply isn't enough street access to campus to accommodate game day crowds as it is. In fact, I believe that the East and South additions have actually REDUCED ticket demand, because it takes twice as long to get there to park twice as far away, to wait twice as long to get home as it used to. I can't tell you how many people I know who have given up their tickets because it takes an absurd amount of time to get home after a game.

It's not needed.
Take those funds and build a new PMAC, that is needed. Build a multi level garage where the PMAC is.

F@ck No! Hideous! Horrible spot. Cramped. Poor use of green space needed in concrete jungle and near Mike's habitat.
PMAC 2.0 on Track Field by trees..T&F to field across Vet School or by new Box..old PMAC becomes Parade Grounds/Outdoor Ampitheatre/Champions Square for Foots/Hoops/Gymnastic fans on game days.
