South upper deck could be added | Education | The Advocate — Baton Rouge, LA I know there have been discussions on this board several times recently about this. If they think they can sell all those new suites, consider it done.
:geaux: I don't think there will be a problem with selling the Club Seats & Suites. There's a big waiting list for those. The general seating could be an issue at times with some of the rent-a-win games, but as long as the Tigers stay near the top most of those will have a butt in them. If 'Bama and Rocky Top can put over 100,000 butt's in their stadiums, why can't LSU? Plus, the Clubs & Suites are tremendous money makers for the Athletic Dept. The biggest problem with all this is avoiding the need to re-route Nicholson Dr. They'll figure that out and IMO, I think we'll see expansion happen within the next five years. :LSU231:
I would prefer them to give the place a facelift but whatever... maybe that will drop the TAF fee...I won't hold my breath on that one
Ask and you shall receieve, they announced this a few weeks ago: Images released of planned Tiger Stadium renovations | WBRZ News 2 Louisiana : Baton Rouge, LA |
yep. College football is going the way of the pros. More and more about the $, to hell with anything that gets in the way.
And as red pointed out the other day, I think it would really be detrimental in cuttin down a lot of sunlight for the grass.
