a few people told me they were getting patted down coming into the game and security was tighter than it ever was at the old park, anyone else find that to be true? and how is the feel of the new park? is it too nice? did it lose the alex box aura?
I haven't gotten patted down yet. Security has been running off the people trying to sell tickets away from the stadium though.

No complaints from me

COMPLAINT: I was hoping for revamped concession stands with a more eclectic menu. Alas, it is the same old shite. I was really hoping for a Chili's embedded in the stadium or something like that.

The champions club had sushi

I've got plenty but will only list a few, non-english speaking employees working the concession stand, no baby changing station anywhere, not allowing a 2 year old to walk in with a very small book sack.

concessions I hear is full of dumbshits
i hate to talk bad about the concession workers because they were young kids, but the ones I dealt with in right field on friday night were definitely not from the Baton Rouge High math club. A girl wigged out trying to add 5 $3.50 drinks on a calculator. My daughter said she saw the girl in the bathroom later on that night bawling to her mom on the phone about how much she "hated this job".

You probably put beer in there....They aren't as stupid as they look

Yeah...I gave a girl $5 on Saturday for a $3.50 Sprite...She gave me $3.50 in change back. Of course I let her know I was only due $1.50. This was in the sixth inning; so who knows how much money LSU is losing in concessions and how much more I'll have to pay TAF because of it.

That word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Cause when I think better food and Louisiana, my mind instantly goes to effing Chili's.

Here is a money making idea...
Put in some ICEE machines! They would make a killing selling those for 3.50 a pop in the heat.

I had 4 seats in the second row behind home plate with access to Champions Club Sunday. The best thing was quick access to a restroom. The food menu was expanded a little and I guess you can buy beer except on Sunday.I dont think you can take it out though. Post game coaches show is held there as the game is on tv.

Honestly, I realize that the quality of tiger fans has gone down over the past few years, but this is pathetic. I went to the weekend series against Central Florida and I was beyond pleased with the stadium. I'm not sure what your expectations were for the stadium, but it is unbelievable compared to other SEC stadiums that I have been to. Sure there are early complaints about food vendors mainly because the situation was probably rushed due to the fact that the stadium being completed by opening day was the top priority rather than the vendors. I am sure that the situation will improve. Complaints should be given to the TAF or the athletic department rather than bitched about on a discussion board. We're better than this. I know we spensd a lot of money on season tickets and such, but give me a break. Compared to other schools, we're getting more than what we pay for and it will only get better. I urge you all to call and voice your comments to people who can actually give attention to the problems and form solutions rather than just be a pessimist on the rant. I love the rant as much as everyone, but what's with all the bitching about great things on here. Lets criticize Friday and Sunday's games or something, not the damn stadium that is immaculate. Now bring on the ignorant remarks. I can't wait

The TAF doesn't care about poor people

Its original and it sounds like alot of fun. might be a little too crazy for kids in their, but not a bad idea.

Popcorn should be about 3 degrees hotter.

Are there vending machines at the Box? If not, why. Things like drinks, candy, chips, peanuts sold at vending areas. Less strain on concession areas selling dogs, hamburgers,nachos etc.

I hope they make it very STEEP, so the little brats use it as their slide, instead of destroying the Indian Mounds during football season.

Did anything change from the last one in regards to security?
As for concessions: same old food, higher prices.
Other than that:
