Lol, you'll know when I do. LSU hasn't exactly been forthcoming with details beforehand. I think there have been changes made all through this project.

I was surprised they didn't have more renderings... then I saw so far what the project looks like and I can see why..

LSU could have simply used the same paint as NEZ made the white wall all glass, regardless if a wall is behind the window or not. The stadium may not have meshed because of the awful west side, but its a start.

20k difference could make a huge difference and LSU dropped the ball again.

Let's all try and look at the bright side...Tiger Stadium in particular and our athletic facilities overall have never been in better shape than they are now.

Simply put, Tiger Stadium has the best combination of seats, suites, premium seating overall, and the highest amount of chair back seating overall among all the stadiums in the conference.

Tiger Stadium will be looking spiffy for 2014!

A tribute to Tiger Stadium...best stadium in the SEC!

I agree with all those and those seem like common sense I don't know why LSU approves the things they do. Also, add removing the Fema trailors from the top to your list and it would have turned out to be a nice expansion. Also, the circles at the top remind me of a blank profile photo.

I think the next project needs to be renovating the lower level concourses around the bowl. The east/west/north concourses are terrible.

Yeah the circles baffles me, but I can live with them. I can also live with the lego blocks on top if they had some kind of arch system along the back to conceal them.

The rendering you just posted had the entire facade as stucco. I'm wondering why LSU decided not to do that instead they have a mixture of bare concrete and stucco which looks horrendous.

I know when LSU redid the NEZ facade it was mainly paid for by the fans signing up to pay for a window. But how did LSU manage to do a good job with that yet they continue to screw up almost nearly every construction project?

I don't understand why stucco was ever a option. Why not the same finish as the NEZ. It looks really good and matches.

So are the people who defend that unattractive design.
