Has anyone confirmed if the letters themselves will be lighting up? Similar to a convenience store or cheap restaurant's sign? I just hope that a random letter doesn't go out during the season and we are left with T _ I G E R S T _ A D I _ M or one letter begins blinking like a shitty motel sign.

If the letters are just lit up by a plain white light shining on them then I don't think it will look that bad.

As of 630pm one guy was working on the T and another starting the lights on the I. The recognition walls have a name attached to the top now.

I'm kind of laughing how you put blanks and then didn't skip a letter.

ETA: I hope those letters are hurricane proof.

Hopefully they don't put huge gaps between the letters then.

Fixing up the North Stadium facade was great.
The purple and gold lights are tacky, but not an every day thing. So I can even live with that.
These letters are awful. If you are going to do it, at least go with bronze or black.
So Nunez has put Tigers running across the windows of the PMAC, 4 or 5 different color seats at Alex Box and now this at Tiger Stadium. I'm afraid to see what happens in the South EZ.

My sentiments exactly. Much more intimidating. Especially if it were in bronze or black.

I'm convinced that people would bitch if LSU decided to hand out hundred dollar bills at the gate. Sheesh.

This whole thing is just aweful, but I'm more a fan of the genuine haunted house look being intimidating.

I heard they were going to hand out $100 bills at the Idaho game from my buddy who's some good TAF connections. Thing is, with all the f'in money they make, it seems unfair to give the money to everyone, it should only be TAF members

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 remember him saying this the day he was hired about fixing it up.

As of 930pm only the T is up. All the gate numbers are lighted along with the cubes on top the large pillars. The Scotty Moran champions plaza sign is lighted and so is the James P Hardy family recognition wall sign. The Tiger Stadium arch is not lighted.

They sre cutting it very close with possible tropical storm winds next week. Any word why this project wasnt started the day after BCSF?
