If someone pledged up to $1 billion for a "state of the art" replacement for TS

- open air
- designed so crowd noise would remain the same as TS
- chairbacks for every seat
- 110K capacity
- huge HD scoreboards/screens
- ample and accessible restrooms
- expanded concessions
essentially, the best of the best...and any $ not used for construction goes to the University.
Would you be in favor of this if it meant the demolition of Tiger Stadium?

Um yeah.
If it's good enough for the Cowboys and Yankees, it's good enough for my Tigers.

We can keep TS for the women's soccer team.

As long as it's on the same exact spot...and they use the exact same field dimensions. If it's the same field, it wouldn't be like we were losing any tradition or mythology.

it'll be tough paying $10 for a bottled water, but yes. as much as i love TS, it's is antiquated and outdated.

Why does it have to be demolished? Why not just upgrade it?

Only idiots like to preserve history and historic buildings? Did not know that.
ETA: it's called ameliorative waste, an improvement to an estate that changes its character even if the change increases the land's value

gonna need a lot more $$$ than that to replace TS.
Posted on 12/16/11 at 1:48 pm to udtiger
Demolition? No. Renovation? Yes.
Posted on 12/16/11 at 1:48 pm to udtiger
I would still want it as close to TS image as possible but yeah.

no problem here, put that bad boy on the Mississippi, have boats pull up to it, and don't forget the 40 yard wide jumbo-tron, also it would need to be 120,000 seats as well

Heck yeah!

Tiger Stadium has a maximum of 20 years remaining, in my opinion. It will simply not be structurally sound forever. Therefore, the plan must be already underway to replace it (and we all know who's going to pay for it - much more than the ~$20 million per year tradition fund is raking in, that's for sure - look in the mirror - that's who is going to build Tiger Stadium II - Electric Boogaloo).
So, how and where are the questions....not if.
I prefer demolishing Tiger Stadium during the winter break of year 20XX - contract with the Superdome to play Season 20XX+1 and figure out how to compensate the season ticket holders you are screwing. This will be so the new stadium can occupy the same footprint of Tiger Stadium. I also strongly reject any name other than LSU's Tiger Stadium.
I'm in favor of the bowl configuration as closely as architecturally possible, but also include all modern safety, convenience and amenities. An architertually pleasing, continuous wrap around upper, possibly done as a sequel or in phases, to bring capacity to 106 to 115k, and reflecting the general look and feel of Tiger Stadium in the 70s from the outside, plus the upper, so that a casual observer could be transported from the same seat in 1978 to year 20XX+2 and only notice the additions and improvement, nothing that was there before "different" in any negative way.
But what do I know?

I'll take that bet.
They need to do huge renovations to the stadium. It looks like a dump in the concourses and the outside ain't a whole lot better (specifically that side facing Nicholson. Atrocious)

The fricking lower bowl has been up since the 20's.
