BOR approve 80 M capital plan for Olsen.

To out that in perspective:
-UF built a brand new stadium for 65 M in 2020
-OSU build a brand new stadium for 60 M in 2020 and IMO it’s top tier
-UT’s renovation was 58 M but was upped to 98 M.
-MSU’s renovation was 65 M in 2019. I assume that doesn’t include the lofts.
-The 2011 A&M renovation was 24 M.

With an unbiased but expert opinion, Kyle Peterson put it this way when discussing SEC ballparks: "Ms. State has the best baseball facility, Arkansas the best overall baseball atmosphere, LSU has the best baseball fans". LSU lost out on significantly improving Alex Box when it let LSU's "God", Skip Bertman, design the park. He went cheapo, especially when he simply brought across the street the Old Box's RF & LF metal bleachers. Re Dudy Noble, I still laff remembering this line from a former LSU player: "Skip's scouting report always emphasized making sure to know which way the wind was blowing the bar bq smoke. Wind wasn't the concern, it was the amount of smoke."
