re: When will we expand Tiger Stadium?

We don't really NEED anymore seats, but they need to go ahead and enclose the SEZ to eliminate that "unfinished" look to the stadium with those E and W upper decks that wrap around to the south.

A TOTAL RENOVATION to the entire inside and outside of the stadium is really needed more than additional seats.

The hiring of an experienced Professional Turf Manager should be a priority as well.........

Expansion plans are already in place for the north end zone, which will feature and upper deck, club seating, an academic center and a war memorial plaza for the 2008 season. The expansion is expected to increase the stadium's capacity to 94,113, and add approximately 2,000 club seats and 44 suites."

This was mostly completed prior to this past season, although some cosmetic work is still being done. I have to say that the new endzone expansion looks freaking fantastic. I actually think that DKR seats more than 94,000 now. I could've sworn that we broke 97,000 for the Mizzou and Okie State games. When all is said and done, the stadium will seat approximately 114,000, once the south endzone is totally enclosed.

I really don't think that LSU needs to even consider adding more seats to TS until they upgrade the existing structure. So much needs to be done...renovate the restrooms, nicer concessions, clean the exterior, new PA system, and the list goes on. If in the future, the decision is made to expand, then I think only the south end should be enclosed with an upper deck and additional suites. That would push capacity to close to 100,000 wouldn't it?

Sorry, not trying to be an arse, I would love to have a larger stadium. I just dont think we could fill it.

Your right, If we start losing in a 100+ thousand seat arena, it could be ugly.

second, clean out the dorms, and maybe renovate them.

also - what about a parking GARAGE?

like "shitty" auburn has?

oh wait, that would make too much sense...

Then you could complain about how long it takes you to get out of it.

Good idea. They could build a dome so it never rains in Tiger Stadium. If they paint the ceiling with stars it will always be a "night" game even at 11:30am. If they add a surround sound system they could just play band music instead having the Golden Band. Might as well add a bunch of parking garages so everyone can park close and open them a few hours before kickoff. ...OR...just make the Superdome our home stadium!

not that any of you care but Bama is expanding. This is supposed to be what it will look like.

Bama has a very nice stadium. too bad you dont now how to use it. attend a few games at tiger stadium. You may learn something.

Absolutely. I went to the Independence Bowl to see Tech and the inside concourse areas look nicer and newer. I think whatever they do too the south side they need to compliment it with something on the north side so it doesn't look unfinished.
