re: Thoughts on Alex Box Stadium

They didn’t even just use bleachers. The cheap fricks used the same bleachers from the old box

LSU chose to use the same bleachers from the old box because they were cheap as frick and claim it was to keep the history

Lsu chose to put the bullpen on the foul lines because they are cheap as frick and then claim it was for tradition

LSU chose the cheap as frick batters eye and nothing behind the fences because they are cheap as frick

All of those issues are lsus fault

You're not wrong in that sense, but that's not the point of this conversation.

The Box won't suddenly become up to date because they have chair backs down the line or a nice batters eye. It will still be out of date, which again...isn't LSU's fault.

Chairbwcks, a berm/real batters eye, real bullpens, and poof, it’s up to date

here come the 'concessions' comments

I think if Johnson gets his wish, we will see at least some changes. He hates having the bullpens on the side and in the open like that. He will push to get them moved, and the most obvious choice would be adding them where the two outfield bleachers are. If they do that, they could build chairback seats behind the bullpen raised up. It would be less rows unless they expand past where the concrete walkway is back there.

I also think you will get more pushback from the ones with the money as we get closer to the 15 year mark. This is about the time frame where renovations really need to start happening to get things current and in good working order.

I think it just needs a few more championships on the intimidator.

The main thing they can improve is the fan experience. It was much better at the old box where the tailgates were closer to the park and it made for a lot better atmosphere.

I would like to see something like the TD Ameritrade park where you can walk around the whole park above the seating, meaning even with the concession area in the grandstand. And do the bull pens the same way.

As far as concessions well the quality sure needs to improve.

How much did you donate?

I would rather have just kept old alex box. I dont need amenities. I want history and atmosphere. Old box had it. Concessions and seats dont really matter to me.

Alex Box is a fine place to watch a game. Most nowadays like things in stadiums that dont have anything to do with watching the game. Alex Box sucks in that department.
