LSU's was never meant to be a showpiece, it was built to replace the dump that Alex Box stadium was. after Katrina construction costs soared and they were not able to afford all the bells and whistles they wanted. Over time they continue to add things to it as they get money.
Anyway, it's more about what kind of baseball is played inside of it

Well put. We spent more than Carolina, but they got more out of their money due to our inflated Katrina costs.

And yes, I am very outspoken about just how bush league bleachers are in a new baseball stadium. You want asses in every seat? You need chairback these days.

I believe it was Ben Mcdonald who said during a broadcast that they do in fact have plans to add more suites. I am assuming that project will include all chairbacks too. We also need a 360-degree walkway around the stadium.
