What would you do to make Alex Box better?

Watching a replay of the baseball game this morning and Dudy Nobles outfield bleachers are incredible.
Got me thinking about what would be cool to do in the outfield? I’m a GC so I honestly want to see how much it would cost and what some fan ideas would be.
Right off the bat I’d want to remove the aluminum stands and do something more substantial and comfortable, add some shade and some cooking or maybe tailgate stations for fans.
Maybe somewhere to boil crawfish or grill.
What would be nice is if we could see the game from the bar too.

Remove them. Go all chairback down the lines. Leave it like that for a while. We only max out capacity during Supers now anyway.

We can start with removing all those damn Ads plastered on the fence.

LSU built the New Box on the cheap thinking athletic departments specifically The SEC would be status quo with college baseball not capitalizing. Honestly.. Rebuild a new park or a massive overhaul including decor.. extend chair backs throughout... extend the covering and awning down the line to about the ally. The Box is barely in the top half of the conference. Some standard we are holding onto. I’m serious. A total refresh of the Box. I think it’s a must. LSU didn’t go bold. With that said, The Baseball operations facility is clutch.

The stadium in general is bland and boring. Need to install chairbacks all the way down the lines. Dump the right field bleachers and install a berm as was originally speculated.

Chair backs would make a huge difference

Rip out all of the bleachers on the first and 3rd base sides. Extend the grandstands and permanent seats to take their place. Remove the bleachers in left field and replace them with a berm. There was plans in the original design for a berm in the outfield and it got removed for some reason. Extend the berm all the way around the stadium even behind the right field bleachers. Have a walk way that goes all the way around the stadium. Explore the idea of adjusting the fences a bit to make the Box a more hitter friendly park.

extend chair backs throughout..

Imagine this but the course is Alex box and there was chair back seats below the deck.
You could put in ceiling fans on the deck and have crawfish boil stations or grills that you could bring your own food too.
TVs with other things on like March madness.
Also you could your bar on the deck. If the SEC were being bitches about it being exposed you could put it behind a see through wall or maybe a shade cover that you could see through.
Also put in large seats and space them out. Make it comfortable.

It would make my game day experience better. It’s an eye sore, sometimes I catch myself staring at the pimento cheese sign in left field.
Posted on 3/30/19 at 7:14 am to LesThanPrefect
Ok great buddy. Noted. You want signs removed.

Remove aluminum bleacher everywhere
Add a berm from right center to the foul pole in right
a picnic area in left with bbq pits seating etc
Bring the seats closer to the field from foul pole to foul pole
Make all seating chair back
Remove colorful ads replace with monochrome

Could they not have a huge raised platform out in center with a bar on/it in? Think Minutemade Park in HTown. shite would be crazy. Don’t even have to put it in the “stadium” to comply with whatever rules.

If they replaced the bleachers with chair backs, extended the awning and put up a decent fricking batters eye I would be happier.
I’d prefer they built a berm as well

Yeah for starters, no need to be an arse. I agree with other posters, a berm or some sort of deck would look great. Also like the idea of a walkable path around the park.

I like everything but this.
I like the old school bullpens

Box seats sections in the outfield and build a big standing deck with bar.. make it Club if you have to. LSU built the Box with no creativity.

Solo Cam...Solid reply. You and I are thinking the same. Have to go bold
