Why is Baum so much better than the Box?

It’s sad really. From the chair backs, to the ads, to the bullpens. It’s just a better facility all the way around

Because their team is better right now.
ETA: Because of walmart (I thought you meant the atmosphere)

Oh I’m sure wal-mart, Tyson chicken, and JB hunt trucking helps.
But let’s not act like we don’t have money in Louisiana

Just came here to say the ads at Alex box don’t really bother me that much. Feel like it gives the place some flavor

We don’t have a Sam Walton or Jerry Jones

You're welcome to donate a couple hundred million to TAF in order to build The Box 3.0.

Their architect took one look at our stadium and said hey, let’s not do that.

The only Fortune 500 company headquartered in Louisiana is Century Link and they are in Monroe. They arent sending LSU any money. Mostly Tech and I guess ULM.

LSU has plenty money to do a stadium like Baum, it’s not a matter of Fortune 500 companies.
It’s simply a matter of a poor design. The box is a little over 10 years old and it’s already behind multiple SEC stadiums.
It isn’t like MS State is pouring in Fortune 500 money and look at what they have. LSU and whoever designed the box blew it. Simple as that.

Skip Bertman designed the new Alex Box. It needs upgrading

Off topic but my goodness Arkansas is a good team.

At the time the fans did not want a new stadium. Everyone loved the box but Skip knew it’s was way past time for the better of the program. So when he designed the new box he tried to make it feel and look exactly like the old box to appease the fans. It is definitely time for an upgrade because I agree with these other stadiums are nicer now.

More than half the fields are better than the box.

Yeah, Ok, that’s not true. Maybe some of the cast of characters who based their lives off of LSU Baseball, the K lady types, didn’t, but the rest of us wanted either a new stadium or a complete reconstruction of the old Box. We expected a palace that would fit the program. Instead of that, we got a completely different ball park, with the intimidator and aluminum bleachers being the thing that tied the New to the Old. LSU Baseball got its new revenue sources that weren’t possible with the old Box, and kept the new Box folksy and cheap.
I was hyped about the renderings that Trahan Architects produced when the reality of a new stadium was coming together, but we didn’t get that either.
