No the inside is super nice too. The grandstand area/suite area is far superior to ole miss and state. Not to mention the hall of fame and champions club areas


Really? I beg to differ. Not sure about Hall of Fame or whatever, but if I have to go looking for a spot that beats anywhere else, then no. I wouldn't call it "far superior" to anyone.

LSU didn't pour money into the cheap seat areas of the box but that's it.


Which is why Alex Box is lacking. Refer to my previous post.

i dont know of any other school that has a hall of fame in their park but dont quote me on that. all i know is lsu's is incredible.

Then by that logic all the parks in the sec are lacking. lsu did it right. they poured all their money into whats important and saved the cheap stuff for later projects than can easily be upgraded.

The Box is okay. I like the entrance to it. But I wouldn't say it is superior to other stadiums, especially the grandstand/suites.

i didnt say the grandstand/suites was superior to all. i would assume arkansas could compete. i said it was super to the two mississippi schools, and it is.

Both atmosphere are absolutely amazing. I have never actually attended a game at Swayze, but from what I've seen in videos and hear, it is one of the best places to play. I love Dudy Noble for its tradition. LFL can be fun whether their are 200 or 2,000 fan. Just by pure logic, the Ole Miss right field beer showers look as if they could only be successful if there are a bunch of people in attendance. Not a flame. Could someone who attends more often chime in?

Yea, because the "hall of fame" is more important than making your fans that pay for a lot this shite, more comfortable. Gotcha.

Anyone thats upgraded has addressed any of those issues besides LSU....so don't get your point although I was speaking specifically about the Box not others...

its just another selling point for the box is all. lsu is still completing phase 2 of the box's construction. the hall of fame was one of the last things i believe.

I didn't say you did, I was making a point... So what makes those grandstands/suites FAR superior?? Remember, I've been there...MANY times.

the box has an actual grandstand that is covered with a concourse you can walk around and watch the game from. like mlb parks. i didnt think the two miss schools had that.

So we're all supposed to agree that the Box is far superior than MSU/Ole Miss because you said so???

OOOOH, wow, you have a standing only area to add to more ticket sales. Yea, ok.

when it comes to the grandstand area yes. and not because i say so, just be honest about it and its clear.

eta: if i said the right field bleachers in the box are more enjoyable than right field in swayze it would be equally absurd.
