Agreed. Best thing about the new stadium club IMHO. I want to see more of them.

LSU is currently studying a plan to reclaim some of the old dorm room space for more restrooms. LSU AD Joe Alleva was quoted on this last week. Will probably be part of the future concourse renovation.
You see the columns in the new Stadium Club South? Word on the street is they will carry that look over into the Tiger Stadium concourses.

The ramps, restrooms, and concessions inside Tiger Stadium are just plain embarrassing. There are old generators and machines from the 20's that are size of cars sitting inside Tiger Stadium that you see when walking up the interior ramps. There is a lot of wasted space that could be used for more restrooms and concession stands.
Supposedly, they planned to re-do all of that a while back and then found asbestos, which completely threw a wrench into everything.

They've been working on removing asbestos throughout the campus. The tunnels were just done recently.
Obviously, Tiger Stadium is a bigger bite to chew on. But the benefits would be tremendous. Apart from more restroom, that would clear the way for game day condo's to be built in the older parts of the stadium.
If you look at the pics from TAF about the south end zone expansion, you'll notice the areas marked "Future". Those are where game day condos may be added.

They found asbestos in the old tunnel network under thew school too. It takes forever to get rid of that shite. Now I guess a bunch of devil worshipers from the 60's know why they have lung cancer now.

Not just devil worshippers. It used to be a rite of passage for new students to go into the tunnels. Some of the frats...
Well nevermind...

yeah, I could imagine the frats did some hazing down there. I saw a video someone took when they went down there. They had swastikas painted on the walls.

We have a nice debate about who's the best in the SEC, but I think we can all agree as a whole the SEC crushes A&M & MU's old conference. Just look at the size difference.

Well to be fair, both Texas and OU have plans to increase their stadium size. Texas plans to expand to 115,000+, and OU plans to expand to around 90,000. ISU, KSU, and Baylor are all increasing in size as well.
Doesn't matter though. The SEC is expanding stadium size faster.

ONLY because TAMU is expanding past them.

How much space in their heads do the Aggies occupy?

More than they care to admit
Pretty sure their last stadium expansion was to surpass ours, too.
This one is especially curious for them because they've had trouble of late filling their current stadium. Not sure how concrete their current expansion plans are, though.

Yeah they really have waffled on that lately. Wonder why?

Exactly what are game day condos? Those sound great, but how much would they cost?

Basically, fans would stay at the stadium instead of at a hotel.

No idea, but gameday condos near the LSU campus rent for $1,000 and up.
