I do like the area to put tents and chairs like there was at Texas. It’s kinda of like a tailgate area that you can watch from.

They must have a hill behind the OF that rises up over their fence because if they didn’t you couldn’t see the game.

No we need to dump The left field bleachers and make that a open area like ole miss. Right field is limited w/ space I'd like to go vertical across the batters eye with suites or a nice porch area

frick you pal we've been on row 1 in 124(in front of the bleachers. We sit in actual chairs) for 29 yrs. I don't want a damned thing changed. Our view last night.

No, we’ve been told that we couldn’t recruit good players if any money is spent to upgrade any of the cheap shite in the stadium.

Im sorry that progress and growth of the team will interfere with your seating. Since they carried over your seat from the old box maybe you can work something out?????

How many of the complainers actually sit in the bleachers?

Yes I understand but this substance called dirt can be brought from one area to another to raise the surface area higher.
The softball team has a berm and it's only a few hundred feet away

Why are people obsessed with a berm?

You must like freezing your arse off in February and having aluminum searing your arse in April, May and June.

Aluminum seats in Louisiana are the dumbest and cheapest idea there is. It’s retarded not to have actual chairback seats in every seat in the ballpark.

For the commitment and attendance factors there isn’t a university that mistreats its fan base like LSU.


As with a lot of things in life, you are mistreated to the degree you will accept it. There is always a demand for tickets somewhere, so LSU will continue this until revenues sharply decline, which will never happen. Your choices are to continue to pay the cost of doing business or stay home. I chose the stay-home route a long time ago, save for a game or two in every sport every season, and I’m much happier for it.

Not obsessed but with anything if your not getting better you are getting worse.
We need to bring some energy back to the box I go t games multiple times a year and unless it's a top SEC match up the box lacks juice. I dont know if it's a sign of the times with people and entertainment options playing on the phone ect.. But to bringing a younger crowd to the game give them the option for a tailgate atmosphere for baseball. I think a Cf landing with a few boxes and SRO bar benches like in Omaha multi leveled .

I was at the Texas game last weekend and the fan experience felt a lot better. May have been because it’s a smaller park, but it felt a lot easier to get around. Tons more beer stands and they had half-priced happy hour beers $5 tall boys from the minute the gates opened until the national anthem. Concessions were mostly grab n go with the sensors and self checkout. Prices seemed reasonable $3 popcorn, etc.

And the last section down the 1st & 3rd baselines were general admission first come seating with chairbacks. They were missing cup holders though.

Lower fences and a berm works.
Are bleachers better?’,
Is sitting on a blanket better? Lawn chair?

Numbers of players in the last 3 seasons have said that the atmosphere at The Box was at least one reason they chose LSU. Our current atmosphere is just fine.

I am sure improvements may come over the years but NIL monies are infinitely more important than getting rid of bleachers, IMO.

Yeah.... it's been perfect weather for it.

LSU doesn't need a damn grass section for lawn chairs.
