In his defense he could not do anything about that. The SBC hired him to paint a print with all of the current teams and coaches on it.

. . . why let the facts get into the way of an objection . . . I mean, he put the toothpick in this one and has painted anything in purple . . . he gone . . .

Having the east side tower with educational space will make stadium look more balanced and finished

The optics of having the tv cameras facing the home side vs the empty visitor's side would be a nice change

I bet adding an educational space into the stadium allowed some additional State funds to be utilized for this project. Because the University was probably limited in how much State money could be utilized on an athletics only facility and anything above that amount would have to be funded by private donations. I don't know that for a fact, but that is what my gut is telling me.

Didn't LSU say for years that they had dorms inside Tiger Stadium in order to get state funding for repairs and improvements?

(And I mean *fairly* recently .. not WW1)

State is funding East Side. Last I heard was to the tune of 38 mil. Don't take that to the bank though. As others have stated the press box on East side along with other amenities. Including food services for athletes and offices for athletics. Cox building will come down once complete. As Beau stated three levels of "suites" on West side. Sixteen traditional suites, loge boxes, and another level that I can't remember the description on. I believe all chairbacks on West side as well. Total capacity around 30k.

Got it. Regardless, I feel this might just help galvanize the Louisiana fanbase.

Everyone likes new. Everyone likes to see improvement. Image is everything nowadays. Just Starting the project shows the admin is invested football. This fan base is about to re-energized!!!

I’m hoping we replace the old chair backs with red ones and maybe some red bleachers. Think it would look better empty and full.

If we need more dorms, can we add them to the west side and get state funding for that which could house athletes and other students? That could enhance the look of the stadium and be functional as well.
