The turf at the new Box was put in a month late due to hurricane Gustav, per Mainairi. It hasn't had time to grow properly yet.

usc - picnic area in outfield, bigger suites, rooftop cafe, professional bullpen

lsu - better architecture, better scoreboard/video, better seating coverage

while the sarge has a few more amenities, the new box has way more potential (arcade on it's way). imo, the suites at the box are just as nice although smaller.

So the cubs aren't a professional team?

Looks like they only have 6 of them compared to our 17. I'll take that quantity over some more room.

The berm in RF (or some additional bleachers mimicking LF) will just top it off. Add the planned suites in the off-season, and this park is money and will put USC's to even more shame.


I say we put the berm out there with a couple of swimming pools!

How great would it be to have some lovely LSU ladies laying out at the pool during a game? Hell it would give my GF something to do instead of complaining and wanting to leave in the 5th inning.

personally, i don't like having the bullpen exposed down the line. just no reason for it anymore.

i got to go through one on my tour and they're nice. you wouldn't be complaining if you were in one for a game.

Is anybody else going to any games at the new USC stadium when the Tigers make the trip? I'll be there with my girl and a couple of other Tigers. We'll be making noise in the outfield.

I think LSU's structure is much better looking but it looks like S.C. has a lot more chairbacks and better seating than LSU. That field is pretty amazing looking as well.
