Outfield environment like State, Ole Miss and Ark; do LSU admins not want that??

We have so much space between left field bleachers and right field bleachers....whats the reason for not having a huge berm and letting fans bring ice chests and having a "rowdy" section?

Admin would be surprised how consistently that area would stay packed on weekend SEC series IMO.

At 15 bucks a head to get in the gate they'd make plenty of money.

Changes need to be made at the box and soon. It's definitely falling behind.

With our money, if we're not winning titles every year, there's no excuse to not have the best and awesomest stadium out there.

Moving the left field bleachers from the old Alex Box to the new stadium was one of the dumbest moves I’ve seen. It is an eye sore.

Because it would hinder the ability to easily access, repair, or replace our cheap batters eye tarp.

The new box honestly was built on the cheap

It was behind its counterparts from the beginning

I certainly think we should go that direction. Arky is fantastic. Of course their weather is typically a cooler too.

Alex Box

1) needs a dedicated general admission area for students so students can be grouped all together and not spread throughout the park. Missing the right field/Coons corner atmosphere from the old Box is huge, especially in post season
2) needs a party deck/berm/some sort of area that offers cheap seats for people to get into the park and have a good time

Empty ugly bleachers are awful and the atmosphere at the Box is really stale IMO

That’s the problem with being first to market, so to speak.

It would be an awesome game day experience, they need to incorporate that, and they would make money off of it too.

That has to be the cheapest of cheap batters eye especially when the wind blows its flapping everywhere.

Building a berm with tiers and permanent grills for the students in right field like Ole Miss would be cheap AF and dramatically improve the environment out there.

With student ID, $5 a head for conference games, free for midweek games.

There's really nothing to lose. The outfield looks pretty shitty anyway. Seems like they could find a better place to store all of the maintenance crap.
I dont understand how someone responsible for Alex Box would just say frick it lets store all the shite behind the fence where everyone can see it.
