You already fit 102,000 in that thing. If you were to add another upper deck in the end zone, that would probably put you at or near the largest stadium in the country wouldn't it?

Good grief,I hope not. Not unless they extend I-110 down Nicholson and make it about 12 lanes wide.

not going to happen any time soon. We would have to move the tiger cage and probably build a new pmac before we could think of putting an upper deck in the north end zone.

They can't even find fans to stay in the 2nd half. What makes you think that want another 5-10k of empty seats.

I highly doubt it. They will renovate the interior concourses and etc before expanding again.

the view of the bridge, the river, the capitol, etc out the NEZ is part of the experience many would hate to lose, IMO

Sidenote:

There was a lot of talk before the Bama game about how Saturday would be the loudest game in Tiger Stadium history due to the increased capacity and it being Bama/LSU.

For LSU fans who attend regularly - how did the atmosphere / sheer loudness compare to other big games in TS? I didn't go, but it sounded ridiculously loud on TV.

Good God NO! I also have read that it's not architecturally possible given the PMAC on the North side but I'm not sure.

Maybe they could set up a tailgate park to keep fans in the stadium in the 2nd half

Wish they'd do it immediately, if not sooner.

Traffic at half time would be terrible

They would have the same problem we now have, the lack of air movement would create a sauna

I think it's done as far as enclosing any further

May or may not happen in the future. Ways off. Would be suites only if they decided to expand again
