With a new baseball coach do you see multimillion dollar improvement to Alex Box stadium?

Next year will be the start of a new Era of baseball. With spending all the money for a coach, is there any way to improve Alex Box stadium?

Florida has a 65 million new stadium.
Mississippi State, Alabama, Arkansas, all have renovated there place.

I would like them to bring in the fences and become a hitters park like Auburn

This is all I got Hoss

This doesn’t make you nervous with some of the pitching staffs we have had?

frick that, if anything move them back to make it less similar to auburn, those band box teams never seem to do well in the postseason when they have to adjust

lets worry about getting consistent good coaching staff and game strategy first, then worry about the stadium and amenities

They have to go hand in hand.

Build a berm in right field. Build a BBQ area across the street. Go back to using the Marshall’s of the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s where they let you keep an ice chest of beer outside the fence and poor a new cup between innings.

Can we keep the chain link fence covered with windscreen batter’s eye? It has a nice 80s feel to it. While everyone else is modernizing we are like, “screw it, let’s be high schoolish.”

Eliminate the cheapass bleachers
Eliminate the advertising signage
Overhaul concessions
Berm-type atmosphere in RF
Something can be done to the bullpens.

The problem with the baseball program has nothing to do with the stadium.

The absolute easiest and cheapest thing is the batter’s eye. Having that thing out there just screams “we don’t give a frick”. Fix that and go from there.

I think if I can remember correctly...

It was a chase to the race of having 10k seats in a ballpark. It was us vs Arkansas.

I would like to see the aluminum bleachers removed and put a concrete concourse around the outfield

Fat chance of that ever happening at LSU. You'd better pray to God the Athletic Department doesn't read this because they will designate another 50 square feet to ad space just to spite you.

I haven't been to the ballpark in a long time, but it's still relatively new, right? Does it really need major upgrades already?

No. Most overrated feature of a baseball stadium these days. Why sit on the ground when you can sit in a seat?

The Box needs to eliminate all aluminum bleachers and put real chair back seats around the whole stadium, not just the grandstand.

All I know is LSU should have the best damn stadium in the Country. And right now we don’t. Make it happen Woody.

Don’t need to do anything until basketball upgrades are complete.

State had close to 15,000 at games in the 80s but they didn't have 10k seats in the ballpark
