My favorite is that you can't put your drink on the wall in front of the first row because of the "danger" yet there are 45 kids allowed to congregate in the aisle...leaning over the side, not paying attention to the game.

I think if I were LSU, I'd rather the $5.00 coke bust all over the place from a foul ball as opposed to some 7 year old's head...

And the warm-up ball with J-mitch blew me away...I mean, frick, has he not been paying attention for the past 15 year's he's worked there??

It really seams like they went crazy for the regionals and supers. They weren’t that bad during the regular season. But with the NCAA watchin, they gotta impress the boss man.

why the kids playground areas dont have some kind of netting on top of them in case of foul balls. its always seemed like disaster waiting to happen

I agree. They'd usually come down once a game and tell us to put our drinks down off the ledge. But they went crazy during the regional.

They even called for Brendan Forringer and LSUPD...

All this over a practice that has been going on at every game for years.

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

Not loud enough in OF

* 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.

They installed some

* 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?

Then you will bitch when they remove it in NCAA play.. Its against the rules in NCAA tourney play.

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

Uhhh what? Are you blind?

* 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.

food isnt nearly as bad as the calculars used to add 4 and 5 together.

*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.

Never had a problem with them..

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

When all people can complain about is stadium amenities, you know the baseball team itself is doing well.

Pitch count is displayed on the big screen in Omaha, FWIW.

In LF they definitly dont let them hang on the wall.

things I would like to see..

The TVs at Concessions as mentioned
Cash Registers there

Pave the walkway between the Box and the RR tracks behind OF. More than one location for programs.

I just drove by the Box, with all these updates there is no way it will be ready in time for next season.

Why would they add water foutains and let you drink for free when they can charge you out the arse for a 12 oz bottle of water

I'm not blind & I'm not bitching. Omaha has pitch count & speed why wouldn't LSU be allowed to use it in a regional if the NCAA allows in at the CWS?

And the very small "scoreboard" is nearly invisible to those of us in sections 222,223...apparently you've never seen a game from those sections. We are sitting literally BEHIND the scoreboard.

We went the entire season w/o fountains.

And IMO the food is terrible; all I'm saying is we can do much better. And think of the time wasted in consession lines b/c there were no cash registers??!!! Who dropped the ball on that?

And the marshalls think they're storm troopers; too may incidents of arrogant, disrespectful, & rudeness.(not saying you did this) And stop blaming "rowdy" fans, LSU has had rowdy fans since the beginning...it was last year the marshalls turned into azzholes.

Because the law says they have to. They were cited for not having any. Not a problem any more.

The tv's are at Alex Box. They just haven't been installed yet. My husband saw them when he toured the facility for a Coaches' Committee meeting.
