Love me some Tiger Stadium improvements...the stadium is looking great IMO.




-TIGER STADIUM
-new NEZ lights
-new windows
-resurfacing of north end
-columns/gates


If Joe Alleva does NOTHING else in his tenure as LSU's AD, I think this is his great legacy ... TS needed a facelift and they're definitely getting it done, and I commend him for sticking to the plan of restoring a place we all love.

I know yall are sick of it but I'd like to reiterate that the west side of Tiger Stadium reminds me of an abortion performed by Edward Scissorhands will being assisted by Ray Charles.


There is a fine line between spending money on a good, clean, classy look and spending money on a garish look.

I am really concerned this is the latter. I pray to be wrong.

Just wait until its all done... this always happens. People "hate" something and always complain about it, but then when its done it looks awesome.

Couldn't they hang some type of banners down the 4 huge pillars? That would help liven that side up a little bit at least.

LSU is doing what they can, but the whole West side addition is horrible.

It's like slapping lipstick on a pig.

I really wish they would make the west facade match the new SEZ facade. Doesn't seem like it would be that hard to do.

How the design firm is still in business or the selection of the design ever got the OK is beyond me. I remember being in school so excited about them redoing that end. Saw the weird color brown/grey whatever going up and started to sadden.

I then saw the windows go up and thought, that looks cool and modern. Then, the brown shite shades went up. A total disaster.

If tenn and other schools can fix their facade so can we. Just happy improvements are being made. I would like the next project after the addition to be a total update of the interior and the west side.

the main problem, IMO, with the westside are the bricks and the window slats. if that were some how remedied I don't think it would be nearly as bad but its so damn busy now
