according to those renderings, they plan on doing something outside the south endzone...so probably not any time soon.

It's the shape of the back of the scoreboard. Just a vinyl graphic... looks way better than it did when there was nothing covering it.


Yeah, I know it's the shape of the scoreboard, but then why is the scoreboard shaped that way? And I know it's vinyl, but to having to cover something up, that has no aesthetic value whatsoever, seems just asinine. It's such an easily remedied problem. Re-shape the scoreboard. Or put in a new one, one that jives with whatever it is they're going for. (which is: who the hell knows?) Or build a damn wall that meets it and encloses it and makes the place that much louder.

Can someone, anyone, come forward with some kind of grand vision for Tiger Stadium? This lego-land add on shite is so frustrating. The place deserves better. And it's not like the program isn't pulling in enough cash for godsakes.

I didnt see anything in the link that discussed the south endzone. Nor in the pictures.

I can barely understand what you are saying, but it looks much better than it did before. Obviously getting a new scoreboard on the north side isn't the top priority right now.

They said there will be a special teams entrance. Where will the offense and defense enter? Just wondering.

Yeah they should do that because you don't like the shape of it. The upper decks are a strange shape too. Maybe they should round the corners or something.

It's getting bowled in soon. LSU accepted a bid to add to the south end zone from Lemoine company. $65000000.

Dude if you actually LIKE the scoreboard and the tarp over the back of it, more power to you. Mr. Idea Man, you.

I'll be by soon to pimp your double wide.

I hope LSU does enclose it and do it right. It seems like with every LSU construction project they always look for the cheapest way on everything.

Damn, that's a lot of zeros. I see now why we normally use commas to break them up.

As long as they cover up the fricking PVC pipe we're in good shape.
