Looks like they wanted to get one more Mardi Gras in as a firm & then go out for good on Ash Wednesday.
Peggy Laborde will review whether or not to issue Comus Rex tickets next year.

That being said, I lobbied our float builder to put quarter round mounding along the float rails so dumb arse riders can’t set stuff on that edge.
Some Bacchus floats have bartenders so the liquor and wine bottles never leave the center.

That sucks. Game should be on campus.

Or, to put it another way you were off by 300%.
You’re right. How I forgot the additional 1.14% capacity increased.

Baseball had been investing in facilities that help Jay Johnson recruit and develop winners. And guess what, he wants more of that.
They’ve dragged their feet on these projects and are just going to inevitably drop a half assed indoor on current site of facility services behind center field.
The stadium wasn’t built with the future in mind and no one had the foresight to save space for projects.
Sorry for thinking the best program in the country would do more upgrades and amenities for fans over the course of 17 seasons than adding 150+ premium seats because real estate became available on the field.

Soooo…… you want chairbacks do you? For each row you will lose multiple seats since the chair backs require more width. So who will give up their seats on each row??? Move people to another section? Who will give up those seats?
You move people based on seniority and priority points. Are all seats actual held by STHs or held by companies.

I was off by 118 seats and it looks like shite because LSU took the quick money grab. I guess you can hang your hat on selling corporate loge boxes.

I’ll ask it a different way: what is your plan for paying for the improvements? Who pays? How much?
It’s not my responsibility. LSU hires a complete staff to figure this out. The following schools have figured it out since Alex Box 2 opened.
Texas A&M (Twice)
Tennessee
Mississippi State
Ole Miss (Twice)
Alabama
Oklahoma
Mizzou
South Carolina (opened current stadium in 09)
Vanderbilt
Georgia
Florida
Auburn

There were plans for upgrades in 2019 and were scrapped because of Covid.

Am I wrong to not be impressed by that video?
It’s an upgrade for them, but LSUs upgrades included adding 40 premium seats where the bullpens were and moving LSUs bullpen to under the bleachers with some sheet metal and two lights.

They should’ve done that from the get go. Skip Bertman was just notoriously cheap. Should’ve done something similar.

never understood our fanbase cries for seat backs and in the same breath for berms on grass.
The outfield bleachers are from the Laval days. There is no reason LSU can’t have chair backs down the lines. They’re not creative and tout paid attendance while every other school has done upgrades in the almost 20 years.
Theres been no announcement for an indoor facility that Jay has wanted.

Easier to upgrade a 6k capacity stadium
LSU could easily fix the seating down the lines being that it’s not connected to original foundation. They’re just cheap.

If tweet fails to load, click here. What will it take for LSU to put chair backs down the lines and get some proper seating setups in the outfield?
