that jumbo tron/scoreboard has to be moved. it's nearly impossible for people in the outfield and along the end of the 3rd base line to see
That's where you sit. Suck it up.
What are the people in the North endzone going to do when they put the awesome new scoreboard up in the North endzone for next football season? They won't be able to see it.

OK, since catman refuses to answer my very simple question...
To whom it may concern:
How much better are the seats in the new Box as far as comfort, size, and distance btwn rows?

Showing the game realtime is against the rules when it is a televised game. You can only show replays.
I thought this, too, but War Memorial in Little Rock does it for football games.

The only seats at the old box where the gold ones, so most people at the old box only had bleachers. So that's a pretty nice upgrade. The seats at the new box are much better. They're more comfortable. I think they might be a tiny bit smaller than the old gold seats were, though.
The distance between the rows where smaller in comparison to the old gold seat rows, but much wider than the rows in between the bleachers for the rest of the old box.

The bleachers down the line are AWESOME! Tad bit more legroom. No bad sightlines, no one walking in front of you obstructing your view...

My order was $19, I gave them a $50 bill and they had to enter it in the calculator to figure out my change.

Tell that to the season ticket holders who pay good money to sit there. They at least want to be able to see the score and whatnot.

There's a scoreboard underneath the grandstand that you can see that shows balls, strikes, outs, and the score. That's all you need.
I'm in the North endzone for the football games. I won't be able to see the new scoreboard. I'm kind of mad, but I'll just turn around a couple of times a game just to check it out.

that's different. there's a whole scoreboard on the other side of the stadium that you can see.

I'm in the next to last section on the third base side and you can't tell if it's a strike or ball. Would be nice to have the screen to look at during the pitch
I'll gladly take your seats if your not happy.

So you want to move the scoreboard to RF? That'll just screw everyone down the RF line by your argument. Not really fixing the problem, just shitting on someone else.
Also, agreed that the video board wasn't used to it's capacity tonight. Maybe it's still new and they aren't comfortable with it yet.
I guess they'll also add tv's in the concourse by the concession stands and something somewhere aknowledging the conference and national titles (maybe below the pressbox?). That would be nice.
All in all, not much to complain about. The new park is incredible.

geaux, aren't they planning on building something in right field, maybe a berm. That is probably the reason they put it in left

The new stadium is freaking awesome. The nacho's i got at the beginning of the game were tiny . Although i did see the nacho size got bigger as the night went on so either i got a stingy kid or maybe they thought they might run out early. Who knows. I thought the concessions weren't slow at all along the left field line. My seat was the left field corner, i had a great view of the field and had NO problems with the score board. You have to remember this was the first game ever so im guessing they will get better with the scoreboard and replays. Also im guessing they will eventually move the intimidator and the retired numbers back to the stadium. They were just focused on trying to get this babe up and running for the weekend. I must say for about the first 2-3 innings it was just really strange because it wasn't the old box, but it will feel more and more familiar as the season goes. I think overall the stadium is awesome.

Sorry I logged off.. he seats were nice with the benchbacks. I can only speak for bleacher seating though. But had nice legroom and got cold as ever lol. Im in sec 122 so I can see the scoreboard pretty well from where Im at. I would think it would get pretty hard as you went further down.. But I thought of all that when I chose my seats. Now when some idiot down the line stands up for a long time during the game it can block alot of people's view. I would like to eventually move down the 3rd baseline and get some in the first set of bleachers.. They had a great view of the game.

Possibly LSU hired out someone to take overhead photos when the stadium was full. Annoying, nonetheless.
