Who knows, if Les accomplishes a lot more in his tenure in Baton Rouge, why not name one of these after him: Athletic Administration Bldg., Football Indoor Practice Bldg., Football Operations Bldg, etc. or maybe a campus street.

When Les Miles does or becomes known for what other campus athletic facility namesakes have accomplished (Pete Maravich Assembly Center, Alex Box Stadium, Bernie Moore Track Stadium, Huey P. Long Fieldhouse, Carl Maddox Fieldhouse, Lawton Room, the Charles McClendon Practice Facility, the Jeff Boss Locker Room) he may have to.... you know.... have gone to that Big Hat in the sky to get his name on something.

Hypothetical - the CEO of Pepsico walks into Alleva's office with $100 million in small unmarked bills, says "Mountain Dew Field at Doritos Stadium. Make it happen."

Does the Board of Supervisor take the offer?

TS should always be TS. Miles field as a side note is fine. Maybe a statue too.

Exactly! We're one of the few without a retarded sounding stadium name so why would you even suggest changing it? Punch yourself in the face until you understand this concept. Can you imagine Dietzel-Miles Stadium?

We have Death Valley. What more could you want?

Tiger Stadium has and always will have a special feeling. I get chill bumps when I say it.

Mr. tigerdup07, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

DING, DING, DING... WINNER!


IF Miles accomplishes multiple more MNC's, AND the stadium is ever covered/domed, THEN you can call it "The Hat".

So... TIGER STADIUM forever.

Tradition never graduates. Tiger Stadium 4 ever.

Although we could call it "Wonderland" in tribute to the 3 time NC Coach Les Miles aka Mad Hatter. But we are two crystal balls away from that...

LSU does not, generally, honor people by renaming stuff while they are still alive.

The PMAC was not renamed until after Maravich's death. Ditto for the CMAC. The only thing named after Shaq, that I can determine, is the Shaquille O'Neal lodge at the Cook Hotel on Lakeshore Drive.

IF those are my options - (I would prefer maybe the football operations building being renamed Miles Hall) - I'll take "Les Miles Field at Tiger Stadium", but I'm not overly enthusiastic about it.

(ETA: I would also like all of the toilets in the stadium to be referred to as "Hallmans")

This thread was started because of the recent naming of the dome. The only reason the done has been named is because benson owns a Benz dealership. I like miles but I'm also a traditionalist. Never change tiger stadium I don't care what Leslie has done
