No seats in student section kinda makes sense. Did you ever sit in student section?

Would be nice to have an alum willing to drop $400m on a venue or have $15b endowment to pull from.

How is this LSU-related?


Similar to how our stadium looks in the 4th quarter.

And it won't ever be filled until they put together something that actually looks like a football team.

Smaller than the old stadium. Capacity 35.000. Big 10 football at it’s finest

They have an undergrad enrollment around 8k. It’s actually perfect for a school like that. They would never fill a 60-70k seat stadium.

I’m jealous of the awning, I have to admit. I sure wish Tiger Stadium had shade.

They should be able to put a great team together nowadays if they actually try.

It has an enrollment of about 9,000 students and one of the more prestigious American universities. It has about 15 billion in endowments. Chicago is a big, diverse city with tons of things to do.
They're not exactly known for their athletics programs.

I like the smaller stadiums for teams that don’t bring a ton of fans. A packed small stadium is way better atmosphere than a half full big stadium. Hopefully LSU takes note for the next basketball arena.
