I just watched the celebration of life.. What a great ceremony for a legend. It was like I was cutting onions over here...

Don't bash me but Alex Box stadium was Skips baby and he designed it.
You think now they will go ahead and do the renovations to the park?

As unfortunate as Skip’s passing is, they’d be fools not to follow through with the renovations.

Watching tonight took me back to being 8-13 years old at the old box Big Ben on the mound Hymel and mouton blasting bombs the smell of the tiger dogs the 3rd base hamburgers . Watching a double header under the grandstand before it was Friday - Sunday
Sec games it was truly America’s past time at the box before technology. I could go on..


There truly is no place like LSU thank you coach Bertman, you will be missed but never forgot on

The downvoting morons on this board crack me up. You asked a legitimate question and didn't use profanity or insult anyone. Everyone knows Alex Box is in serious need of renovations. My only question is where does the money come from right now. The event at the Governor's Mansion is because LSU Athletics Department is dangerously overextended. Baseball is not a huge money generator so unless something changes or a significant donation(s) is raised for that purpose, I can't imagine this is top of the list.

Yeah, you're right. I thought I would get some down votes.

Yeah, it was just an honest question. Maybe the timing wasn't right.

I was just thinking maybe they didn't want to touch the stadium while he was alive.
