LOL .. are you serious??
It's impossible to see both sides of a car at the same time, so maybe we can put one side blue and the other side white... that would be good looking huh ... Geezz.. Come on people!!. The Stadium needs to be complete and in Total harmony. Not look like 2 different stadiums for each end.
LSU must have got a great deal on gray paint on the NEZ. I guess it did't fit the budget on the SEZ?? lol.. Who in the world are making these decisions ?? They need to come around the East and West sidelines with the SEZ look.

Light makes a difference!

Your picture is concrete gates that are unfinished. Sling that Camera around to the building and finished arches on the top of the stadium or the windows. All the light in the world cant make these gray. They're beige stucco.
Sorry Charlie..

Are you saying the top doesn't appear to be the same as the bottom parts that are being hit by light? (behind the tree)

The picture you're showing below is perfect. It show part of the SEZ in the light and the shade. It's a light color right?
Now check out these images of the NEZ in the shade and some light and tell me they're the same. I walked around it on Sunday. The SEZ is getting the same type of stucco panel finish as the column on the West Side plaza.

It appears they painted the crosses for the windows but not the support beams yet.

regardless of it may be different or not, that can easily be fixed, cheaply, by simply painting the north to match the new south and all the other new gates. i feel like they did that in a couple weeks when they last painted the north endzone. they could also slowly do that to the rest of the stadium, and i feel like a lot of people complaining of the uniformity of the additions wouldn't complain as much.

The picture under the LSU sign looks as though it is the same color as the new section in the first pic.
Also, I don't think the arches on teh NEZ side are even close to resembling the SEZ new part. The SEZ arches are higher (5th story if you will) and they have a circle above them and columns in them.
The NEZ arches have none of that and are lower to the ground....
Could this be a situation where if the NEZ was ever expanded in the same fashion, the higher sections would be coordinated with the SEZ?

Have you seen it in person? I have. It's not the same.

No.

Well... the South Endzone expansion has an upper deck, while the north side doesn't...

It seems to me that there is a big difference between the part of the stadium that is concrete and the part that is stucco(or something similar). The NE is essentially all concrete, and the color that it is now isn't original. They painted it when they replaced all of the windows. The new concrete in the SE is currently just cured concrete, as in it hasn't been painted yet. The top portion of the SE isn't concrete, and may be the final color. It does have some hints of beige or even peach, depending on the amount of direct sunlight.

they have differences, yes, but they absolutely are in the same general style and resemblance of the north side. The south is also closer to the actual colosseum (renderring of what it looked like during its use)
and the Pula Arena (Roman arena in Croatia)
and look at Nimes arena in France, how the inner stands are not uniform at all and really have no sort of flow. They just stoped building stands 2/3 of the way down the "sidelines" and wrapped at around partly into one of the "endzones"
With the SEZ being as tall as it is and holding an upper deck, it would have looked stupid to make it a mirror image of the NEZ. I think if they were the same colors and didn't have the buildings on top, everyone would think the new stadium looks awesome. Honestly, if they do some work on those buildings up top and not just leave them as plain boxes, i don't they'd look all that bad at all.

it appears they have begun painting the rest, starting with the window frames, to match the top arches.

In the sections with the arches, I see the same color (from the pics), sorry.
The middle pic is in the shade but looks like the shaded area of top pic....
The NEZ does look different. but I think that's because it's the "old" stadium. I have seen any plans, but there may be a paint job in the works for the NEZ

The NEZ design looks different because it doesn't have an upper deck, but it has the same basic design elements as the south. they don't look out of place with one another, style wise, as so many people like to think because it's not an exact mirror image. There's windows in the arches on the south because, unlike the north, the south endzone has a lobby area for suits up there while it's just a concourse on the south.
However, the color isn't that way because it's the "old look" the just repainted the entire north endzone within the past couple of years, shortly after they replaced all the old windows from the dorm rooms.
what looks more out of place than anything are the gate columns on the NEZ. They really need to paint the NEZ a lighter color to match the rest of the stadium and surrounding areas that have been built the last several years. Those gates would look fine if they weren't a completely different color than the north side of the stadium.

Why not do this from the beginning if we JUST resurfaced the NEZ and put up the columns.
Like I said, i don't care about the color. It looks fine. It's the principle that these people couldn't get anything to match. Nothing.
