Sure. It could be a petting zoo.


Just so they don't make it like the heavy petting zoo at Ole Miss.

I agree with everything except for this, maybe the one scoreboard was ok....but I really was not a fan of how Auburn had their scoreboard setup...only in one endzone and whatnot

In addition, too much music blared through the loudspeakers and not enough band music

At this rate, they should've just built a brand new stadium


I'm going to guess you don't really mean this ?

I think the awnings were damaged from the hurricane.

What about 2 Crystal Balls Way in renaming the N Stadium Drive. And then they can change it everytime they add one to the trohy case!

Or Les Miles Expressway

I'm all for it, but while the changes are being made, can someone please pressure wash the outside of the stadium?

I'm headed out there right now to start pressure washing. Anyone with me, or can anyone provide a water hose!

Why ? The seats are RARELY full now except for the very biggest games


But they could sell thousands more tickets, regardless of whether people actually showed up. Even if they couldn't sell them all to LSU fans, they could increase the allotment to visiting teams. You know that Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia and probably South Carolina would sell as many as we could give them. Any big name OOC opponents probably would, too, and having a larger stadium with more seats sold might give us enough extra revenue to actually schedule more of those opponents.

But I'm also OK with a facelift being the first priority. The old lady probably needs one. I agree with the above poster on the dorms, too. That seems like a lot of wasted space right now that could be put to much more productive and profitable use. They could rent them out as suites (even overnight for game weekends) for tens of thousands of dollars a year each, I would bet.

Bad idea. I don't want more opposing fans in our stadium. If we have tickets left over, sell them to the general public at a reduced rate, give them to students, etc. Anything other than allowing more enemy fans in Tiger Stadium.

I should have clarified: a scoreboard in each endzone, but setup similar to Auburn's. The generic crap we have now is an eyesore.

Chain-link fence around the stadium needs to go
Why not hedges? Other SEC stadiums besides UGA has hedges. I think LSU had hedges at one time. If not hedges or chain-link fence, what other option?

The simplest and easiest thing he can do that would make a dramatic staement would be to put the "Welcome to Death Valley" sign back up.
