Yeah i thought about that but surely they could find somewhere else to put that stuff. There is a big area behind the scoreboard/behind UHigh's RF.

I don't think they want it either.

However, I do think they always want money. Creating a berm creates more available GA tickets to be sold and more season tickets if the move the students.

I think they're always open to more money.

SC's isnt nicer. It has chairbacks throughout but that's it.

LSU has a better concourse, better suites, and much much much better walk up view.

SC really isnt even close to LSU imo.

Hell i think SC's main entrance is in centerfield or something like that.

Obviously you haven't been to a baseball game at the new Alex Box. There is plenty of space around that facility for additional seating of some kind or another in the outfields.

Their stadium is very nice.

Our scoreboard is better. Our fans are closer to the field.

No outfield wall ads is a major plus though. :|

i agree capacity doesnt really need to increase. It probably doesnt. If they extended chairbacks to the foul poles that would probably reduce capacity a little.

But that is a completely different reasoning than not having enough space.


Indeed

Our facade is really nice. Texas A&M's is the nicest IMO.

Where?

All that map does is list the designated parking areas.

A&M is almost too much brick imo. And the fact that it's fake brick aggravates me for some reason.

I think A&M is really nice, and too much brick might be a terrible excuse. I'd just have them 1 step below us personally. If someone like's A&M's facade more i can understand it at least. It comes down to personal preference.

South Carolina or Baum...sorry no.

If you can't look at that map and come to the opposite conclusion of your earlier misinformed opinion that they can't build something in the outfields due to "lack of space," then there really isn't anything else for us to discuss.

I can only give you the information, but I can't understand it for you.

True. I think the students would bitch initially just because its different. But in the long run they would love it and then right could be sold to more season ticker holders. Give the students their own designated area on the berm.

Wow, you're dumb.

ETA: By the way, that map you posted is severely outdated. It doesn't even show the right field bleachers which were added after the 2009 season.

Just a terrible post by you all around.

i hated the coons corner area as a student. The sight line is the worst in the stadium.

Any student who would bitch about a move to the outfield in an open seating berm situation is just wrong.

Exactly. Berm "seating" is somewhat of an intrinsically student thing anyway.

Something about pots and kettles immediately comes to mind, or better yet, those in intellectually challenged glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

Either way, if the "dumb" shoe fits, by all means, wear it, Sport.

And no, bleachers in the outfield, by their very definition, are nothing more than a weekend tear down and would not, in any way, lead even the most simplistic of minds to conclude that there is a "lack of space," but please, keep trying.

and i agreed that ole miss' tiered outfield is very cool.

ark is about to add a club area in the left field corner. i think lsu could do something similar over the stands down the lines. might also provide shade for those bleachers. it could be something scaled appropriately to get a return on the investment.

So.

Much.

Idiocy.

I really don't think you even know what you're arguing. You haven't made a coherent point yet.
