how much does that cost??


A drop in a bucket compared to the amount of money BCSF makes.

New turf every year according to this video. It's quite interesting hearing the work that go into.

Stadium looks incredible.

Pictures of the outside like this just don't do it justice. It looks so gargantuan when you see the outside driving down Nicholson.


+1

It looks absolutely massive from Nicholson. And now that the structure is topped out, the tower cranes don't look so tall anymore.

Seeing these pics just makes me appreciate how far LSU has come as a program since I was in school for the Dinardo days.

Yep. I still vividly remembering sweating my balls off against Western Carolina in 2000 when the East Upper was introduced.

They look bad from every angle.

Looks like the outside really will be light colored and it doesn't match the north...

The reason the right scoreboard looks different than the left is because the supports and positioning are different. The right has bathrooms behind it, the left doesn't. They will look the same I'm sure.

I don't thing it looks that bad tbh. Sure it would look better without it, but it's better than the west upper deck

I'm probably in the minority here, but i think the south endzone expansion looks like shite. I can't believe LSU actually paid for that. It ruins the entire classic "roman collisseeum" look that the stadium used to have. They should remodel it. It doesn't even match the other upper decks and isn't tall enough or wide enough to cover the gaps between the east and west endzone

Years of weathering will even it out I'm sure.

But then you go against your reasoning:

Yeah. I can't believe they're covering up that old Roman Colosseum look with something that doesn't look like a colosseum.

no it doesn't. that's the exact style the new addition is. the east and west aren't.

Pretty sure you are in the .0001 minority. The addition looks phenominal. Maybe you could show us how it's done eh?

Yeah the expansion looks infinitely better than the old SEZ exterior, which looked pretty shitty.
