The Mobile Baybear's stadium is much nicer.

First of all, you are comparing apples to oranges. professional vs college, taxpayer paid vs athletic department/fan paid. But, on to the subject, based on the pics below, I wouldn't be bragging about Mobile's Hank Aaron Stadium.








Now, this is a great park. But, again, it's a professional ball park, paid for by the taxpayers of Memphis and major sponsorship from Autozone. I am not so sure naming the new LSU baseball stadium after a corporation would go over well with tiger fans.

I'm sooooooooo ready to see baseball in the NEW BOX.

i like Tigerstadium in the backdrop how awesome!!!

There will be outfield seating in left field just as there was with the old Alex Box. I think in Phase 2 a berm will be added in right field.

Right now capacity is 8,800 with room to expand to over 12,000.

Good deal. I can't wait til MSU/LSU means something again in baseball. LSU has recently regained its swagger. Give us a couple of years and Cohen will have us back.

Here's to our series deciding the West.

Did Ron Polk make good on his threat to take his name off the stadium at State?

No intimidator sign per Coach Maneri at the last coaches committee meeting.

Just based on my observations (don't know anything as fact), I would say based on the 2 photos below (the first of the outfield fence at the new Alex Box and the second of the outfield fence at the new Tiger park), I would say there is a good chance there won't be advertising on the outfield fence. They would not be putting up chain link if they intended to have a sheet metal fence like the old Alex Box. Sheet metal is conducive to having painted advertising. Padding is not.

thats a pretty good point.

im ready.

and there is no need for an intimidator anymore because it really wasnt all that intimidating since its been 9 years since our last NC

here is a few pics that I took today from my new seats in he new box! if anyone sits in section 103 this is a pretty good idea of the view from this section!



and here is one of the "bench back" seating that all sections except behind the outfield wall and the grandstand have!
