When do the improvements start? Moving the bullpens and some outfield seat improvements is all that’s on the agenda for now right?

The changes will include moving the bullpens, where relief pitchers warm up, to another part of the stadium. The renovations will also put about 160 additional seats down the first and third base lines – adding to the stadium’s current capacity of 10,326.

Don't get excited, From what I'm hearing it will be a few extra High Dollar Seats.

It’s an LSU construction project. It will be underwhelming and not fully thought through.

It’s quite laughable how bad LSU is at upgrades.

New "Batters Eye" incoming with Wal-Mart's new Super Tough ET Tarp that I understand is composed of Extra-Terrestrial Material that's flexible, but appears to be completely solid when in use........

Cool, now instead of a two out pop up in foul territory that could end the inning, we will give up a 2 run double on the next pitch because we want to spend more practice time working launch angle in the batting cages than learning how to navigate foul territory with a bullpen.

I’ll get excited about upgrades when they finally get the damn bleacher seats out and chairback in. If you want to do something for the fans at least chairback the whole stadium

All seriousness. I wouldn't mind a walk way from right field to left field where fans can stand and watch the game, similar to what Kentucky has. Adds more standing room space,

All these SEC stadiums during super regionals have looked better from a seating standpoint. I also love Clemsons stadium with the outfield bleachers being covered.

A hill in right center would be a nice addition. Maybe some trees in the outfield like Oregon State or UNC.

I might be crazy, but I’d rather sit right behind the OF fence on metal bleachers than stand up in left center field, sit on the ground on a hill or watch from the Kudzu vines a half block behind the right field fence.

Kentucky Proud Park 5000 seats
Lindsey Nelson 5,548 seats
Olsen Field @ Blue Bell Park 6,100 seats
Foley Field 3,291
Baum-Walker 10,737
Boshamer 5,000
Mike Martin Field 6,700
Doug Kingsmore 6,217

The Box is listed at 10,326 on the source I used.

You can gripe all you want about the Box, but you have way more seating options than most.
