Your recruiting room doesn't have a deck overlooking the field.

Because it's right above the player entrance to the stadium,

not very good seats IMO

recruits should get better seats

For 2014 I don't think UK will drop from 67,000, but I think they will for 2015.

It'll work just fine. Like I said, it's gonna be surrounded by the student section on all sides and right above the player entrance to the field.

Also, it can't be used during the actual game. It can only be used pregame, at halftime, and post game. They'll have actual seats during the game.

It'll drop some. They've already removed some of the upper deck.

Correct, but we are not talking about UA right now.

Is the deck ever open to the general public?

You people always make it about UA somehow.

And no. Just recruits, their families, players and staff.

It hasn't actually been built yet to be open to anyone.

Don't think that will ever happen. The demand now is for club seating and boxes, not for general public.

I could see MAYBE a smaller type deck of premium seating I guess but I don't think it will ever be a full blown upper deck in the NEZ. I'd much rather see LSU put it's money towards renovating the bathrooms, concourses, concessions, etc.

Last year I went to Commonwealth, and having a recruiting deck near the student section will be very underwhelming, y'all don't really have many fans. Also, if they can't stand there during the actual game, doesn't that take out some of the "mystique" of the student section?

Us people don't have to make it about UA, other fans do that for us. It would be cool to be able to rent out the deck during non-use days. I'd imagine it would make a great spot for a cocktail party of any sorts.

Yeah I hope it doesn't either. I like the open north end zone

We have plenty of fans. We were consistently in the top 25 in attendance for a long time. We'll get back there with the talent that we have coming in.

We didn't make the rule. The NCAA did. They'll still get the experience per and post game and during halftime.

I thought you meant during games. Yeah, I think it will be available for rental for private events. I believe I read that it would.

Can you imagine how hot it would get in that stadium if they closed in the north end zone?

Does LSU eventually put more suites and boxes over the north Endzone?

They can't even watch the game from the deck? What NCAA rule is that?

The experience of not seeing the atmosphere and tailgating, but instead just watching the players warm up in an empty stadium? Sounds like a blast.
