IF it was, I bet it looks like shite up close compared to the panels



IDK if it was hand laid or not, but the brickwork is impressive.

I noticed you listed some teams' club seating.


BDS' numbers are quite impressive. But the club seating pales besides Arkansas' Reynolds Razorback Stadium with it's 8,700 club seats. Or Tiger Stadium's 7,000 club seats. Tiger Stadium also offer sideline club seating on the west side (soon to be updated)...



...as well as the end zone club seats in the south...




And while Tiger Stadium is second, behind BDS' 159, in the number of suites at 136, the suites at Tiger Stadium are huge by comparison with total capacities of 40 on the east sidelines, and 30 in the south end zone.

Tiger Stadium's suite layout is different as well, as all suites feature the majority of their seats outside...



...as well as 4-5 seats inside, along the glass...



...as well as a large lounge area behind them...



Not knocking BDS, as it has an impressive total package. But both LSU and Arkansas had the luxury of starting later, and upgrading to a higher standard. These three stadiums...BDS, RRS, and TS...along with UT's Neyland Stadium and TAMU's Kyle Field, are the only stadiums in college football with the combination of over one hundred suites and 2,000+ club seats IIRC.

We stand alone.

A question about these pics, if you will...



...I understood that there was a press box up there on this side as well as the other side, IIRC, you Aggie fans have said that it was for print media.

Where is the elevators for this side? I don't see anything that could be one.

There is no box attached to the awning on that side.
(I hate having a parking lot there, but oh well)

Most of the media will be on the other side, I'm not sure about the TV guys though. We'll see how that works this year.


I can't believe it's almost completed. Nutty.

I hope they replace those white panels with the glass that was planned.

You see the 5 boxes on the bottom on the 3rd deck.

2 are for coaches, 1 is for radio, and 1 is for TV. I'm not sure what the 5th one is. Spanish TV? A box for gameday, SECN when they come? Not really sure.

You obviously posted the wrong pictures...



...as there is no better place to watch a game than Tiger Stadium. Best sight-lines, most chair back seats, most exits in the stands, best atmosphere.

Not only does everyone get a great seat in Tiger Stadium, but because all the seats are close to the plentiful exits, and because restrooms and concessions are right outside the exits...no fan in Tiger Stadium is ever away from his/her seat for very long.

No one in Tiger Stadium is forced to sit at the arse end of a vast expanse of concrete, far from amenities.

So, obviously, 99.99% of visiting fans enjoy better seats in Tiger Stadium than they do back in their home stadium.

And that includes Aggie fans.

Tiger Stadium > Kyle Field
Baton Rouge > College Station

Best food and booze is Baton Rouge

Look I get TAMU has built anew and it looks better than the tackle box of old, but if my choices were TAMU @ LSU vs LSU @ TAMU I would pick the first option every time from a neutral observer standpoint.

When it comes to booze, I tell it like it is.

When it comes to food, LSU is where it is at my man.

Again, many TAMU things are cool, but they are only cool to the folks that attended that specific school. While we may all appreciate a unique point, it is what we share in common that binds us all.

FWIW, I think it originally said : Pork Rinds, RC Cola, and Moon Pies and Ice Cold swapped Corn Dogs for RC Cola.
