Wrong, the pmac and the box are bottom half facilities. It’s not macho to look poor because we have out of date facilities

I suggest a French Quarter style set up with big balconies (for seating). They could be associated with Lod Cook and rented out during the year. In right field, where the intimidator is currently located, a restaurant with a “Chicago” style roof top terrace would be handy. The intimidator can be moved to straight away center above the green fencing.

The area to the immediate left and right of the batters eye can be small berms. Those areas would be reserved for those tailgating. The tailgate area would be immediately behind the batters eye (and intimidator).

Lastly...no bleachers anywhere.

Facilities directly impact recruiting. It's not just about the fan experience. It's the entire package. Upgrading the box = keeping up with the rest of the SEC = continued success in recruiting = championships.



So tell us how Skip won 5 NCs playing in a depression era relic?
He didn’t do it because every seat was a chair back. He did it without suites, a berm, and with signs on the fences.

LSU fans-bleachers suck they should be all chair back seats

Also LSU fans-we need a hill so we can sit on grass to watch the game...fricking retarded

Outfield bleachers gotta go. Add some kind of area where people can actually cook and drink as said early in this thread.

Get rid of metal seats down the lines. Increase the height of those sitting areas and add chair backs

Extend the Pavillion covering all the way around. This should have been done during construction. Further down the line could be less expensive suites or something.

Bringing in a championship caliber coach would have been a good start. Better luck next try.

Stadiums and facilities bring recruits! Great for fans but kids want to play in great stadiums and with as many fans as possible. That's why you need to keep up with M State, Ole Miss, and Georgia.

Ok by this logic then let’s never update anything. Literally update nothing. Actually, just knock down everything and we can go play in sugar cane fields in front of 5 farmers. That’ll show them

I agree with #1. Make the outfield a place where people want to go and have a party/tailgate like atmosphere while watching a game. I have a few friends that are MSU fans and they can't even imagine the idea sitting in the grandstands at their games. They LOVE the "left field lounge" area. It is a fun place to hang out on a nice spring day.

#2 as well. Even when it was new I thought it was incredibly cheap to keep the bleachers all the way down the lines. It looks like a minor league park from the outsides and a little league park on a significant portion of the inside.

#3 I would extend the pavilion but maybe not all the way down the lines.

How? There is no room to expand or add space. You can build up and make a party deck possibly

Why doesn't someone add a pic or drawing of what it is currently? Then posters can make their own modifications.

A parking lot for students where they can roll up to watch games for free or $5. Right now the student experience is no different than me rolling up with my family. Except I actually get to park at the stadium, they don’t.
