Have you been to Alex Box? If they could fit another ad anywhere in the stadium then LSU Sports Properties would already have an ad there.

You'd think they could at least match the fence like most parks do. Shouldn't cost much and looks infinitely better.

Shitty AI job for example

It is called a batter’s eye. It is intentionally solid to help make the ball visible for the batter.
It's not actually "Solid" at LSU.

It's a fricking Wal-Mart tarp for some reason.

I always thought a white wall would be cool.

Can't imagine it would cause problems.

All I know is they better get the scoreboard malfunction figured out and solved for good. You never know how good you got it until the good days are gone.

The data drought on both boards tonight was entirely unacceptable. But hey at least we motorboating.

On to Nicholls. Will be good to see Brent but I will miss chatting with Drew Finley at the wall. C'est La Vie!

What’s the purpose of that round ball the players are throwing back and forth?

Pretty much all baseball parks behave them. Not a dumb question, depending on how old you are.

Make it a giant tv that blacks out when LSU is at bat.

You can have it play ChiveTV or something while the other team bats

Every ballpark in the country, at most levels, have such batters' eye walls.

Seems like we could utilize that better, as opposed to it just being a solid black wall. I bet a few companies would pay big money to advertise there.
What if I told you it isn’t a wall and it actually is an advertisement….for black Glad garbage bags?

This may be a world record for terrible posts on the first page of TD. At least top 3.

Now, it's still black because Jay didn't want to mess with tradition.



You know people will believe this is true.
