NEW field changes in Tiger Stadium for BK era
Posted on 9/12/22 at 7:00 pm

Noticed some minuscule variations on the field at Tiger Stadium this weekend.
In Les Miles's first year (2005) we changed the endzone scheme from the full endzone block letters to the current-day LSU letter format. It remained this exact template unchanged from 2005-2021.
The template of the field numbers had remained the same for as long as I can remember. These too were edited for this season to honor the 1958 championship team.
Field changes:
The outlining of LSU letters in the endzone; no longer in a white outline.
The field numbers font; from rounded to block.
I know these variations are very small and will go unnoticed by a majority of fans.
The differences can be seen in comparison from the last home game of 2021 vs Texas A&M to the game vs SU.

Already been discussed. The field numbers were changed to a 58 degree angle to celebrate 1958 team.

I must be a boomer, the old looks better to me

Per LSU, The font changes were …
New in 2022, the numerals are in the 58 font, which features 58 degree angles at each corner. The font pays homage to the 1958 national championship team.

You can say 'paying homage' to 1958. But I think the person who painted the numbers was let geaux to pay for CBK.

Think I like the old one better. The white outline pops a little more against the solid background and the purple in the older pic looks way better.

Needs to change back.

I feel the purple is more blue lately.

Y’all can find anything unimportant to bitch about.

Supply chain issues at the paint store. That’s the new global excuse when something is jacked up.

Yep as long as it doesn’t say bama etc I’m fine with it

I’ve noticed this as well and I think this might be a camera and/or lighting thing. If you look at the pictures posted in this thread even the pads at the base of the goalposts look more “blue” in the shot from this weekend, even though they otherwise look like the exact same pads.
ETA: I find it most noticeable when you see coaches/staff on the sideline in purple shirts. They look very close to blue on TV and I’m fairly certain that’s not what they look like in person.

Definitely agree, I thought that maybe they forgot to outline the end zone letters in white, but it appears to have been intentional. I'm not a fan of the way it looks now.

Who really give a shite about the design unless you plan to start a design your football field reality show. To notice something like that is pretty dam strange and borderline being binary.

The difference in the purple in the pictures posted is 100% on the TV or broadcast. Look at the difference in the grass and Lsu purple logo on the score.

As Owen Hart would say - "Enough is enough and it's time for a change!"

Now if we could just get rid of that shitty pop song logo at the 50 yard line

I like it. Need to go with crazy Mike at center field too.

I sat a few rows from the field in the south endzone Saturday and it looked distinctly purple in person. Those tv screenshots don’t do it justice.

Miles didn’t make this decision. It was made by LSU administration to further brand the newly developed Geaux font.
