* TURN DOWN THE DAMN MUSIC !!!!!!
(sheeesh)!

* Install water fountains...has anyone seen a modern newly built stadium WITHOUT water fountains??? Geez, the old Box was 70 years old & it had fountains; I just don't get it.

* Make the stadium more handicapped/disabled friendly. They need to widen the ramps & should have built more ramps to begin with. Most people have no idea how difficult it is trying to get a wheel chair bound fan from the right field parking lot into the stadium!!(personal rant).

* Add pitch count & speed to scoreboard; why was this missed?

* Create a small scoreboard somewhere between home & 1st so we fans who sit in section 222, 223 can actually keep up with the action.

* BETTER FOOD AT THE CONSESSIONS STANDS!!!!
Seriously, is this the best we can do??? I've never had a worse hamburger in my life, worst chile, and that so-called 6.00 pork thing is ridiculous. This is LSU; hire people to cook jambalaya, gumbo, serve real po-boys, etc. I'm tired of eating card board at the ball park.

*Send the stadium marshalls to charm school to teach them how to treat people. Its the FANS, not the marshalls who made baseball. They all need a lesson in humility & respect. (And don't get me started on the sacred, saved-for-kings purple seats.

That's all I got, please feel free to add your own &
GEAUS tigers.

I always said I could eat the hot dogs on Fridays during Lent because I'm fairly certain there is no meat in them.

1. Permanent Batter's Eye
2. Something in right field (bleachers/berm/Intimidator or some combination of the three)
3. Normal foul poles
4. New bleachers for left field (use the same kind of bleachers that they put in right field when they do RF)
5. Additional suites to complete the grandstand (which are already in the works and plans, just a couple of years away)

1. Better concession food
1a. More competent people working the concession lines
1b. Since the lines sometimes take forever, put TVs in the concession area so fans don't miss the action. Hell, the OLD Box had this. (Applies in RF)

2. I agree with the addition of things in right field. Looks too barren right now.

3. Taller foul poles and permanent batter's eye

4. Blake Dean at First Base

5. I love that damn place.

Well the 3 that work RF need to all be fired. I swear these guys wouldn't speak up at any pressing situation outside of the Box. Yet you put a radio and a badge on these guys and they think they can do whatever they want.

I forgot to add:

*CASH REGISTERS at consession stands; hard to believe we went an entire season with no registers( I acually felt sorry for the consessioniers). What was the problem??

*the Intimidator in RF.

*The flags of all SEC teams by the home run bleachers; flown in order of the standings.

*And as someone said TVs in consession areas.

Water fountains are already in. I saw them at the NC celebration. My nephew christened them by taking a drink.

Those marshalls are the biggest arse holes. They suck big time.

yea.. you're going to get that from time to time

If you ain't doing anything wrong, then most likely you will not get noticed.. but if they are complete and utter tools get their names and call
Eddie Nunez (Associate Athletic Director / Operations and Project Development )

I have the number(s) if you need 'em
