re: If you could change/add one to thing to The Box what would it be?

Jay has alluded to them being deeper in the alleys than posted.

turn all the metal bleachers into individual seats.
Agreed (or at least along the foul lines. The outfield seats could remain bleacher seats if necessary).
Also, and I know this will bring a ton of downvotes, but I would remove the majority of the ads on the outfield wall. I get that it is tradition from the old Box. But those ads were there out of necessity 30-40 years ago when there was virtually no money to be made in college baseball. The ads, like in little league fields and minor league stadiums, were a necessity to make ends meet. That's no longer the case for LSU baseball. The hodgepodge of mismatched ads across almost the entire outfield wall make the park look cheap and brokedick.

Get rid of the metal bleachers. It's a disgrace that wasn't part of the original design
Don't really care about a berm

They can watch from up above as the pitchers warm up.
Are there nets above to prevent rival fans from throwing shite into it?

Bring back the advertisement with the man that was painting the sign on the wall (1989ish). It always made me double take thinking a guy was standing on the field in the middle of the game.

But I love the bullpens on the field where the fans can watch and interact with the players warming up.

ALL Purple or ALL Gold chair backs through out the entire stadium.
Gotta get rid of that tacky arse Wal-Mart Tarp Batters Eye asap. (How hard is it to build a solid Batters Eye?)

I will never understand the fan obsession with adding berm/levee seating to the stadium. Having fans sit or stand on a grass hill in a pivotal conference or postseason game seems silly to me

Another national championship on the intimidator

No bleachers is 1, 2, and 3 for me.

1. Make covered bullpens behind the outfield fence and have it like alot of the MLB parks where the fans could watch the players warm up.
2. Get rid of the advertisement signs on the fence.
3. Have a solid batters eye.
4. Chairback seating throughout the park at least with seating from home along both sides of the field.
While I think a berm would be fun for the fans (especially the kids), I think that should be one of the things that makes Tiger Park different from Alex Box.

Is drinking now permitted throughout the stadium?
I used to enjoy games more at UL drinking with a bag of peanuts wherever I wanted to sit, compared to seats on the dugout at the Box without a cold beer

Move the bullpens off the dang field.

The pronunciation of Alex to stop being Elec

Extend the roof all the way down each baseline with chairbacks there as well. Also, build a small deck under the roof where we have luxury boxes, that deck would extend along both baselines from the current boxes to the foul poles.

Bring stands closer to the field like the Old Box

Most liked replies from this thread:
1 - Add 2023 National Champions to Intimidator
2 - Replace all metal seats with chairbacks of the same color (purple/gold)
3 - Move bullpen to the outfield
4 - Remove ads from the wall, or make the font/color uniform
5 - Higher Quality Batters Eye
I know Jay really wants 1 and 3, so I’m confident we’ll get those in the next year or two.
I doubt LSU will agree financially to 2 and 4 until they finish Mulkey’s PMAC upgrades.
A lot of replies about having a berm and grill stations in the outfield. This would likely reduce seating capacity, which would be compounded with the reduced seating capacity of 100% chairbacks and bullpen move to the outfield. I don’t want less fans in the stands.

I’m not so sure about this.
Years ago I was told an add out there was 10K per season.
I bet it’s more now. There are 32 signs on the OF fence. Way back when that would bring in 320,000 dollars. I’m guessing it’s more now, and baseball makes a few hundred thousand in profits.
