re: If you had the money what would you re- build? The Box or The P-Mac?

PMAC easily

Agree that the advertising is very common in the major leagues and always has been. I go to several major league parks every season, and the Astros and Yankees don't seem to think the advertising looks cheap. They both have ads everywhere they can find a spot.

I’d buy the whole neighborHOOD north of the pmac and level it for parking. Fenced.

PMAC for sure. There are very few seats in current arena where someone over 6’ tall can sit comfortably. Pretty frustrating when the place is over half empty, or half full depending on how you look at things

I agree with the new stadium for Track. Only because once a new one is built, then we can demolish the existing one and build a new Basketball Arena there

Bernie Moore 2.0(and Indoor Facility 2.0 too in time?), plus The Nat 2.0, all three need to be built across from the Vet School down by the river.
PMAC 2.0 whenever built, needs to be on the current Bernie Moore, with the PMAC ground site becoming a well defined outdoor green spaced concert/amphitheater, parade grounds, and food/beer/dining concessions area for accommodating TigerStadium, PMAC 2.0, Gymnastic Meets, Tennis, etc..fans on game days..
And/or re-configuration of the PMAC for Gymnastics and Women's Hoops//Volleyball, and it becomes a cozier Title IX Palace, while still building PMAC 2.0 for Men's Hoops on Bernie Moore, with suites for Turner, H&E, Acadian, etc..
PMAC 2.0 and the Ampitheatre should match LSU's Italian Renaissance architecture..or bridge it in some way to TigerStadium and the school.
I'll see your KFC Yum Center..and raise you PMAC 2.0!

The Box just has a incomplete feeling to it.
Chair back seats, complete overhaul on the Outfield seating, and finish putting the overhang roof to the foul poles just to start!

Baseball stadium needs some improvements but nothing major
If we just had much better concessions it would be a big plus....our concessions are the worst in the SEC
I would up grade the PMAC and use it for women's basketball gymnastics and graduation events
I would build a men's basketball complex across from Alex box and turn the golf course in a 9 hole course...

The PMAC is like the Superdome...a 1970s architectural mistake that looks like a UFO. Implode the PMAC and start over.

I'm not criticizing what has been said, but I love the Box. I am just thankful for our lack of artificial grass on the playing field, that field at Vanderbilt is awful IMO. I guess not much can be done, but the worst problem, with attending events at LSU are the access roads.

Considering the pmac is older and basketball brings in more money than baseball, it’s a no brainer

We seat more fans than any college team in the history of college baseball and it's not even close. This is our 10 season in this stadium. STFU
Are you certain about this? LSU may lead the country in tickets sold but I’m not sure about actual attendance. In my opinion, actual attendance is more important with regard to fan experience.

It sucks LSU needed a new stadium so badly in the early 2000s because LSU went first and everyone else in the SEC followed and took ideas from LSU and then everyone else to make their stadiums increasingly nicer. In classic LSU and Skip Bertman fashion LSU went cheap on the Box. It’s only 10 years old but already needs a serious upgrade. It’s a shame LSU didn’t have any innovation and imagination to do something like Mississippi State did. That’s an incredible college baseball stadium.
Baum opened 13 years prior to the new box and has found a way to continually improve. LSU continues to improve the player facilities which is probably more important. As long as LSU continues to sell tickets the way they do there's not much incentive to change anything with the baseball stadium. Overall it's still a top 5 college baseball stadium. If you look at the additions to Tiger Stadium you will realize they could have done worse with the new box.

I would just use the money to buy the best football and basketball teams that money can buy

New Box was state of the art when it was designed/built. It's been open for 10 years now and certainly could use some upgrades.
The PMAC is a dump, a POS, that needs to be completely torn down and a entire new facility built in place (would mean having to relocate teams for a couple of years which would suck but can be done).
