Didn't one of the original renderings for the new West upper deck have a giant tiger eye etched into the glass?

That could have looked badass at night with the lights illuminating it from behind.

The also need to cover the underside of the upper deck so the fireproofing isnt exposed. Wouldnt be that hard to do and would make it look a lot better.

how come the pvc pipe was not in the renderings?

The pipe has been there since they rebuilt the west upper deck a few years ago. It's been talked about and bitched about since then, but it's gotten new life since they started the work on the entrance way and all these pictures have been showing up.

They could at least put one on the North side make it symetrical!

Tiger Stadium west entrance construction- 8/22


imagine how nice the west upper would look if they did these 3 things.

replaced the fake brick with something that doesnt suck. my vote would be something similar to the design of all the buildings on campus but i would have to see how it looked in a drawing first before saying for sure that would look right.

remove the bars over the windows and tint the windows if necessary since apparently the sun was blinding people.

painted the pvc pipe a dark color.

boom west upper looks nice.





Like these suggestions - send a registered certified letter to Joe Alleva (since he says he can't read all his e-mails :) with these points on it !!!!!!!!!!

And also do something about those exposed beams/girders on the underside of the part where the windows are.

ETA: It appears T and Witness23 already addressed this.

please let the TIGER STADIUM letters be white or gray or something other than BRIGHT YELLOW. they're going to ruin the whole dang thing.
