So it's for certain that North Stadium Dr. will become a pedestrian area/mall in the next 10 years or so?


I saw this, too. Looks like pavers over the road....????

Houston. He was saying that aTm isn't far from Houston so additional seating would easily be sold.

if we enclose kyle field, yes it will be hotter than a mf'er in september, I assume they will provide more cool zones and things like that. the fresno state game a couple years ago there were hundreds having to get first aid. back to the stadium, I don't think we go north of 95k right now.

I would really enjoy seeing LSU market their name more around the stadium, the only place you see the word tigers or LSU is on the back of the Jumbo Tron. You could easily put a big TIGER STADIUM lettering sign under the sweets/club level on the outside of the stadium

The Swamp is currently undergoing renovation of the west concourses. No increase in seating capacity, but moving from point A to B, concessions, bathrooms, and aesthetics should be significantly improved. Seeing as visitors are rarely in the west stands, opposing fans will just have to suck it.

Whoa, that's pretty cool. Where'd you hear that?


Well it's kind of true, kind of speculation. I know the guy who built it. That thing was millions of dollars obviously so no way they just scrap it. Those big HD screens are just a bunch of panels put together, so you can take it apart and put it back together however you want. That would save them some money on the project.

Even though I am a Rebel through and through, and our stadium is going to look great when/if its done, I will give it to State, I think that is going to be a big improvement for the campus.

Maybe those are in the plans too.


They are planning on building a bunch of new buildings on campus and renovating the old ones to match the newer ones.

You could redo the "popped collars" endzone upper decks. Everytime I see BDS from the front that is the first thing that hits me

No need to quibble over the finer points but some very nice looking expansions/renovations going on across the SEC.

Great conference, great stadiums, great game-day atmospheres.

Aside from Dan Borne mentioning it at the beginning of games, it bothers the the shite out of me that Clemson seems to pay more homage (via signage) to their Death Valley than LSU. However all the commentators ever talk about when Clemson is on TV is Howard's Rock as they take the field.

Auburn fans, what's the story behind these JHS expansion renderings I've seen floating around the internet?





The first one reminds me of this, so I'm guessing a fan put it together.

The second picture came from some type of master plan I think. Not sure how serious they were about that expansion. The first one is just something a fan did I believe.
