Nor does that giant wretched excess Coca-Cola graphic at the top of the NEZ scoreboard.

ALL these static permanent ads cheapen the interior aesthetics of iconic Tiger Stadium. (And LSU goes overboard as compared to the rest of the SEC)

BTW, if you're going to use a State of Louisiana graphic at mid-field, how about making it a little more accurate.

State of Louisiana and eye of the tigers flanking on 20s would be badass

Saban brought the eye back, which means it’s been on the 50 longer, without interruption, than any of our current players and recruits have been alive. So to them it’s tradition.

Also the original eye was done back in the 80s right? It goes back a ways. 40+ years.

Eh, the eye at midfield is one of the most badass midfield logos in the sport. I don't mind this change for a spring game but it shouldn't be during a regular season game. Maybe on the 25's on the opposite side of the field of the SEC logo they would look cool

Personally i think we should go back to the eye on the 45 yard line.

I kind of miss the 1970’s or atleast the early days. When they painted evert other yard marker because not everyone was using color.
The players used to do live introductions or they would show their picture as it was live.

Okay for the Spring Game which isn't even a Spring Game but I don't like it. Erase it after the game.

Since 2000. Geaux Font since 2005.

Not sure if I would say it's an ingrained tradition but probably the only real recollection of many of the posters. I think there was no midfield logo in the 90s, for the most part.

End zones look like garbage. Hope it really is “one-time.”

DV has way too many ads, similar to the Box. It's really noticeable after having visited some other stadiums where there are few ads. Also, LSU could utilize the NEZ scoreboard much more with either a wider screen, or display stats, but of course they use that space for ads.

The static board underneath the two ribbon boards in SEZ is such a pet peeve to me. The stadium really is Frankenstein. Bama has the most aesthetically pleasing stadium.

Endzones are 1000X better than our regular ones. Of course, anything would be better than our regular Endzones.

Having a state logo with a bit more detail like an outline or something would be really fricking cool for a game or two.


Would have been best for the Southern game last year, but I understand it was Kelly's 1st home game and changing it to that might have come off as needlessly antagonistic.

For Grambling, maybe?!?

Endzone details also don't look too bad. Would rather stick with what they had last year.
