Good luck selling these seats. The north endzone is a mile away.



Those are for visitors. The old visitor's seats in the lower bowl now are available for LSU fans.

About time, too!

For the crappy non-conference games (I know, redundant), they might want to offer a free coke and popcorn with those tickets.

Seriously, they will have to be priced very cheap, and that might not help anyway. Let's face it, we're not getting close to 100,000 for the rent-a-wins. As long as they sell out the suites and stadium club seats, the project was worth it financially. And the tennis,gymnastics and sand volleyball teams benefit with new facilities too.

Two things:

1. To those wondering if that is a wall, I would guess that it isn't. They probably are just waiting to put the glass in last b/c it is breakable.

2. Why did the designers choose to have higher roman arches for the sez than the nez? Is the master plan to build the same thing for te nez eventually? I hope not. Even if they dont I stil think it looks weird to have the roman arches 30 yards higher on the sez all of sudden.

Things to keep in mind:

The general seating in the SEZ expansion is for visitors. The old visitors seats in the lower bowl are going to LSU fans now.

So they didn't need a lot of general seating. This expansion was about adding premium seating.

With 66 suites in the new addition, LSU moves past Arkansas for 2nd most suites with 136 suites total. With 3,000+ club seats, LSU now has 6,200 stadium club seats.

That's a total of around 9,328 premium seats of all types, tops in the SEC.

Well, maybe it's because the SEZ is an actual upper deck. If they would've put the arches at the same height everything above them would've looked ridiculous.

kinda ironic to get excited about Wiscy looking at Tiger Stadium when that game won't be played there.

Tiger Stadium Construction Update - 4/2/14

As long as we have 100K for televised games, which we should. Bama should be 101k+, Ole Miss, State and Kentucky maybe a little less.
In 2015, with A&M, Arky, Auburn, Florida all at home - should be rockin'.

It must be a big kitchen. Does it stretch the entire length of the new addition?
