many Tiger fans cherish our stadium and maybe unreasonably want it to be perfect...there's nothing wrong with that desire, unreasonable or not.


Fair enough. The incessant bitching is just a little exhausting, when it isn't downright hilarious. Not saying you're guilty of it.

Some people have certainly taken their criticisms overboard, I 100% agree, and I also have been irritated by some of the more over-the-top bitching ...Tiger Stadium is without a doubt looking better and sharper than ever, no question about it.

But just like the new aAlex Box or really any construction project, there are always things that can be changed/fixed/improved upon...just the nature of large-scale construction projects. Especially a project like this that has a million passionate eyes on it analyzing every minor detail. We're bound to find some issues here and there, and in time LSU will prioritize and do everything it can to make Tiger Stadium as perfect as is financially and reasonably possible.

They've done a great job overall, but it's okay for people to point out things that could be improved upon and for smart people at LSU (or at the places LSU hires) to figure out potential ways to fix said issues.

Putting windows in the bottom level would make that area unbearable.


I heard that they had windows originally, but forgot to put air condition in, so they had to delete the windows.

The missing windows in front of the cinder blocks is not a mistake. LSU will be selling the squares of the openings to donors. I'm not sure what the contribution is, but you can buy a plaque to put in the opening similar to what they did on the west plaza.

I'm not a fan of the hodgepodge exterior architectual design of the stadium but, in the grand scheme things, the only thing that matters is winning Football games. It will be louder & looks great from the inside. Enough for me.

What if they used something similar to what is used on screened in porches to cover the staircase? I've seen this done at a couple other stadiums I've been to. Not sure how it would look next to the windows, but if it didn't look too noticeably different then it could be a viable solution.

Why correct something that's not broken ....


I like somethings about the new SEZ, but there are some issues to be addressed...

You can't be serious... that picture shows a Very incomplete job, If left that way. They gotta fix this stairs showing, and yea it does look like a car without a hood.

Sooooo, your answer to enclosing a gigantic concrete area with little air movement is giant fans and misters? Your suggestion is to create the fricking Amazon? Awesome.


I'm sure he's talking about inside the corridor.

Unless you're a visiting fan or really poor, you won't be going in that side of the stadium.

So who gives a shite?


Get lost with your Big Shot comment little boy!!
