Walked by it today on the way to an exam, and was blown away at just how much better the redone part looks. Can't wait for them to finish it

No, they appeared to be signboard that was zip tied onto the fences. Probably for the workers to zone off the different areas as they work on them.

I'd still rather the old broken windows.
Just my minority opinion. Those windows look like solar panels.
the update, while it does look good and much nicer, takes away the coliseum look and makes it look more modern.
I'd prefer the older beat up coliseum look.
And if they aren't going to do something with the dorms, then i really don't like it.

I haven't been back since 2007. Have they started upgrading the concession stands or restrooms. Those things have been shitholes forever (unless they've done something since '07)

So you'd rather our stadium look like a dump? I don't get that mindset. How does this take away from the coliseum look?? They kept a stone coloring. And of course it looks more modern. Know why? Times change. BDS looks fantastic because they made it look more modern and elegant. Our stadium will be one of the best looking in the nation after all the upgrades and expansions.

You're crazy.

i take it back, maybe not the broken windows, just new windows that don't look so modern.

I had no idea they were going to put a fresh coat of paint on the exterior. But it looks great!

Tiger Stadium is going to be unbelievable in a few years with the expansion, champions walk and renovated area between the NEZ and the pmac are all complete!

All the broken windows looked like Hurricane Katrina hit Tiger Stadium and nobody cared enough to fix it up. Yes, a visiting fan did ask that question to me.




The stadium looked run down from the outside and it was embarrassing. Glad to see the new work on it.
