The New Alex Box Stadium – Baton Rouge, LA
The New Alex Box Stadium – Baton Rouge, LA
LSU vs. UCF – February 28th, 2009
This blog will focus on major league stadiums, but since this is the inaugural season for The New Alex Box Stadium, I had to post a review to support my LSU tigers…
From the moment I saw the stadium as we walked from the car, I knew it would be a special place. The original Alex Box was built in 1938 and hosted 5 National Championship teams and 13 SEC Championship teams. It has done its duty and can now honorably retire from service. The new stadium boasts a Hall of Fame (not completed yet), grand concession stands with a huge menu, a souvenier shop, two fantastic children’s play areas and 9,200 seats for its fans!

In addition to the above, The New Alex Box stadium provides a spectactular view of the LSU football stadium, which definitely serves as an intimidation factor. Overall, this stadium makes me very happy – I have tickets to three more games this season and I am truly ecstatic about each experience. The food is great, the atmosphere is unexplainable and the overall design of the stadium is perfect. There are no bad seats in the house and everyone that even remotely likes baseball will have a great time watching the Tigers play.
