Those appear to me to be windows on the outside of the press box....
...I'd imagine that's a pretty good view. Of what, I don't know, because I'm not familiar with the layout of your campus.

The light rail is to downtown BR. There will be a rail link between BR and NOLA at the station downtown though.

All of the development projects going on between downtown Baton Rouge and LSU has led to plans to develop a $100 million streetcar line along the Nicholson Drive corridor.

Here is the info on the rail link between Baton Rouge and NOLA:
BR-N.O. passenger rail service estimated at $262 million
Louisiana delegation meets with feds over New Orleans-Baton Rouge passenger rail
Rail from Baton Rouge to New Orleans could cost as little as $10 a trip, study says

Startup costs for a passenger train linking Baton Rouge and New Orleans on existing freight tracks would be $262 million, about half a previous estimate, with federal funds underwriting up to 80 percent of that amount, according to a rail study released Tuesday.
Tickets could be as low as $10 each way. Ridership for twice daily service is estimated at 210,000 in the first year, HNTB said. The service would include stops in between the two cities, and could ultimately grow to more frequent service with a possible station near the New Orleans International Airport.
Consultants envision a convenient alternative for the 1.4 million people who live in the booming parishes along the rail line. A passenger train service would allow riders to work during commutes; offer an evacuation route during hurricanes, especially to Baton Rouge hospitals; and supply easy connections to events, such as LSU and New Orleans Saints football games, Mardi Gras and Jazz Fest.

i'll believe that stuff happens when they break ground on it. especially the BR to NO one. The lsu to downtown one at least has a fighting chance of happening.

Honestly, the rail link between BR and NOLA has a lot of political weight behind it in both cities. I think it's a sure thing.

I'd rather the City of New Orleans just connect the Carrollton streetcar line with the Canal streetcar line and make an actual loop just in case I ever feel like getting drunk in Mid-City.

I agree that it would be a big political win for anyone involved in either BR or NOLA. Would make for some very nice opportunities for visitors to see both cities. Could definitely see out of town visitors staying in Nola for LSU games and taking train in and out.

Let's be honest and say who this rail service will end up catering to...LSU students who want to party in NOLA on the weekends.

Could see Baton Rouge getting upset that a good chunk of their Friday night, football game weekend bidness is lost to New Orleans.
Then again, it depends on how late these trains run.

Mizzou reveals stadium expansion plans
Posted on 5/27/14 at 8:52 am to bbap
I've said it before and I'll say it again...I want something like Mizzou's Loge seating at Tiger Stadium...
