Altough the capital improvements are not part of the recruiting budget per se, facilities loom large in selling the program.
The undermining factor in Rich Rod leaving his alma mater was the administration's foot dragging on promised upgrades
More often than not a case of the rich getting richer.

Yep, those beautiful aesthetically gorgeous renovations at Bryant Denny really make it feared and ear-splitting
Didn't even make it to 10 replies before the first butthurt LSU fan shows up.
TS is a dump. Loud, but still a dump.

Oh, no doubt.
The sheer volume of bourbon whiskey in The Grove on gamedays is mind-boggling.

Why, Tiger Stadium is a solitary confinement chamber in a Monastery library compared to Bryant-Denny.
And BTW, Joe Alleva has been planning the SEZ addition to Death Valley, the renovations to the outside and grounds surrounding North Stadium Drive since he came to LSU after Skip retired.
Death Valley will seat 100,000, have a pedestrian mall and more tailgating areas, and have a beautiful new outside beautification makeover to Tiger Stadium within a year or two.....And it has been in the works since Skip Bertman was AD, not 'just this year' but for several years.......
If y'all have the money to do all this stuff then why the hell can't LSU/Alleva afford to bring the whole LSU Band to away games?
LSU is known across the South for having one of the finest bands around. I've told my kids a the last few times what a great band LSU has and I've been dissappointed to see y'all only bring the damn pep band to BDS.

Like it or not band travel does not produce the return on investment as facilities upgrades.
In today's arms race if a program does not keep up they will not be able to feed the cash cow

Maybe ESPN will upgrade LSU when all of that comes to fruition.

Some LSU fans can be the biggest fricking bunch of butthurt brats on the planet. Getting all huffed up because Bama edged them out for the top spot and pounding their chest about soon to be renovations. Jesus, gimme a break.
This. And it's with everything.

1. NC State: The four-floor, 103,254-square foot Murphy Center is the largest operations facility in the country dedicated to football, according to the university. It’s home to the Pack’s sports medicine, equipment, academics, and strength and conditioning.

You may love it but the fact is that Tiger Stadium is an asbestos filled dump compared Bryant-Denny. It's not symmetrical in design, everything is rusty, the paint peels off everywhere, there are broken windows all over... It's loud, there's no arguing that LSU fan create quite the atmosphere there, but it's a dump.
Bryant Denny Stadium is one of the finest football stadiums in the country and possibly tops in college football. Being from Louisiana I will confess that some of our fans could learn a thing or two from LSU fans when it comes to creating atmosphere, but there really is no comparing the buildings.
I've been hearing about these renovations for years too. I've spoken to the guy who owns the construction company. The logistics to making Tiger Stadium a 100,000 seater are a lot more complicated than just signing the check.
As noted, the renovations are coming to Tiger Stadium and it will be as nice as and hold as many fans as Bryant Denny.
You can't pay to fix atmosphere and that is something that LSU will always have over Bama. The people/tailgating/food are a lot more important than a little paint.

You do realize that improvements to Tiger Stadium are not paid for by the school or the state. It is funded by TAF (Tiger Athletic Foundation)

Having Ole Miss above A&M should require Chris Low to effectively register his name in the Trolls R' Us database.
Chris Low really likes our IPF. Some time last year or the year before that he wrote something about how he felt it was one of the nation's best practice facilities.

Naaaah. Don't need to. LSU is a Tier I institution with three Top 10 programs: Petroleum Engineering, Landscape Architecture, and Veterinary Medicine; is one of 25 Land, Sea, and Space Grant Universities, is in the Carengie Insitute's Designation of Very High Research Universities, has the finest Academic Center for Student Athletes, and had the 2nd highest graduation rate in the SEC in the last rating.
