I can't wait to see the construction on modern marvels. No idea how they put suites in with those chevron support beams. They pretty much defied physics with the additions

I mean have they made any changes to the left field bleachers from the old Box?

The Box has the best front facade, and probably grandstand (once finished) in all of the NCAA. Despite having too many seat colors(one choice be it Purple, Gold, or Green should've been the call).

USCe's down the lines(with tables and patio), and also their Fenway-esque outfield berm area, absolutely kills LSU in this regard.

LSU's fence color isn't the proper MLB flat hunter green or plantation green, also seen at say golf courses or tennis clubs, but rather is a tacky splashy shiny spearmint color.

Also Okla, Old Myth, and UCLA's outfield green-space backdrops rate superior by far to LSU's noisy backdrop of yellow-tin-monstrosity Football Complex. It desperately needs some large Oaks relocated for a wood line separation to help soften the loud obnoxious view.

LSU's outfield walls full of advertising, though a needed component of revenue raising, doesn't really recall the nostalgic early era MLB beer, tobacco, and detergent ads,etc..that look such fun and novel in old B&W photos. But, more like slightly cluttered greed, in contrast to Ark, UGa, Vandy,etc..backdrops.

And the obvious that most folks state, the cheap high school aluminum bleachers in the outfield, which makes it's season ticket fans feel second-class.

Yeah, we have the entrance, while they have everything else.


If LSU had the Waltons and the Tyson chicken family with open check books, it might be different. The Box is perfect for LSU baseball and one of the best in the country. Some of you are never satisfied.

The new Box is fabulous, but that still doesn't mean some items weren't botched, and/or needs some refining.

LSU's Ath-Dept has even stated it isn't a finished product yet, and/or beyond future adjustments.
