UF advertising for Architect to Design ambitious overhaul. That’s an impressive sum. Is anything in the works for Tiger Stadium? Gotta keep up with the Jones’ right?

PMAC and Alex Box need to be done before Tiger Stadium.

They’ve spent enough on tiger stadium
Pmac has to be next
Baseball needs improvements and Jay wants an indoor infield facility
The swim facility is a joke as well

Tiger Stadium is okay right now. Concourses and bathrooms improvements are perpetually needed, but I don't know what LSU would spend $400 million on if they had it.

With the heat index the way it is, they may need to construct a roof

The problem with our renovations is that we look at the last 5 years and see what we were missing and build based on that. Instead we should be looking 5-10 years in the future and building something based on future needs.

It’s a never ending cycle and basically makes the renovations outdated as soon as they are complete.

Couldn't you build a pretty nice stadium for 400m? Not NFL level obviously but jeez that's a lot of renovating.

If they aren't using it to move it out of that glorified strip mall hell hole they laughably call Gainesville, it'll just be throwing money down the drain.

There really isn’t a pressing need to fix anything with Tiger Stadium. The PMAC is next up

This could’ve been done if Skip would’ve built the new box with any sort of forethought for the future.

Superdome renos cost that much. It likely will take 2-3 years if done correctly.
