I have to say that I am a bit underwhelmed like the rest of you. However, they just announced this a week or so ago and I applaud their effort to put this together on such short notice and with little expense. It is a step in the right direction and will surely be improved every year after this.

I appreciate the effort by those who are making it happen.

Yeah the SEC has strict rules about tables, chairs, walls and decor. frick the SEC they ruin everything.

I think y’all are completely missing the point of this area. LSU, and the fan base, want beer to be sold throughout the stadium — e.g. at concession stands or beer carts. SEC rules say that schools can only have alcohol in premium suites.

LSU’s solution? Build a “premium suite” outside of the main seating areas that fans can access, buy beer, and go back to their seats. It’s all intended to be a loophole. The “Skyline Suites” were phase 1.. this is phase 2 to see if we can expand to the rest of the stadium.

The marketing hype was just to keep up the illusion that LSU really intended this to be a premium area, but it’s really just a concession stand with beer. THATS THE WHOLE frickING POINT. Why do you think they charge $20 but include two $7 beers? It’s because that looks better to the SEC than a $6 entry fee into the “beer stand”.

I’m willing to bet that LSU is playing a game of chicken with the SEC. If nobody blinks, I’d expect another few of these “suites” to open in other parts of the stadium over the next few years. At least until/unless the SEC policy changes.

But instead of nodding in agreement with our wink-wink-nudge-nudge adult concession stand, y’all are bitching because it’s not a real suite! It’s effectively a $6 entry fee for Christ’s sake.. did you think it was gonna be on-par with the Stadium Club?

Obviously this looks like amateur hour. However, to the haters and losers, of which there are many, dissing hummus, you can frick off.

I doubt any woman would with recently done nails. My wife wouldn’t right after she’s done her nails.

Feels super low budget.

I walked through there the other day. While it is definitely low budget, it was much needed.

Anyone know if this place can be accessed from everywhere in the stadium?



I think just from the East, west and south lowers.

It's going to be understaffed and sold out of everything before the 2nd quarter.

It's definitely a step in the right direction. I've been pitching for years that LSU should open a sports bar in that exact area of the stadium. I was thinking something like the Tacomac in Philips arena in Atlanta, but you have to start somewhere. I agree with ine of the previous posters that this is just a trial run.

I'm actually just as excited about the Burgersmith and TVs that don't use tubes.Bring back City Pork and I'll be happier still.
