Dudy Noble has finally been updated on google maps.. Let's have some MS Paint drawings of how you'd add seating.

The days of that are over for MSU. Average Joe fan is going to have to get on SeatGeek and buy a chairback. It's the price you pay for demand like ours.

From someone who watched games for 4 years from the grass hill in the "Hard Right Cafe" in years long ago and later for 4 years from the "family" section beside 3rd base, I had much rather add seating by extending the upper deck area. If you're not going to have the ability to grill and such and just there to watch the game, sitting in the outfield isn't the best place to be.
Agree with that. Plus any additional OF seating would just look bad and clunky. Of course, the problem (or, a good problem) with any additional seating we build, is that it will be swiftly gobbled up by season ticket holders.

This is why it was so genius to have as much SRO as we do - we knew seats were going to be hard to come by.

The open grass area behind the rigs in left field and to the left of the lofts would be where I would start with temporary bleachers like at golf events.

I hope you are somewhat kidding because Dorman is currently shut down for renovation and has been for over a year, a $42 MILLION DOLLAR renovation. For those that have been whining about tearing it down and building another, here's a quote from the arcicle, "View attachment 1237648.

And for those whining about what is being spent on baseball, how many football players could that $42MILLION buy if it were available?
The funny thing about the dorman renovation is that it's an interior thing. The outside of it is still going to look like shlt.

IF demand calls for it and we can presale again, see below.

Leave the lower levels alone.
Extend the upper deck and have it slanted in more.
Possibly add some GA seating in the outfield where my orange squares are.

Yes, any outfield expansion would be in addition to whatever they do in the grandstand area.

I think we should introduce some student seating in the outfield. As of today, they only get SRO/GA tickets. It could be a cool thing and would open up the berms more for families to come out to games.

I always wondered if the more condos rumor was true. Looking at the pic, it would be hard to squeeze another building in there.

I basically copied sections 214, 215, 216 and 217. Probably could add another one.
This is the answer in left and right. possibly make the last section of each a "party deck" like they did at trustmark in jackson that is rentable as well.

then continue to elevate above the concourse in right field to make more SRO Drink rails between the LFL and the entry plaza

Let's win about three, maybe four, more national titles first...

then we can discuss.
I was gonna say we are perfectly fine right now. In 2028 when the ticket renewal happens, if they go up on prices and its sold out again, then we can discuss expanding.

You can also do it in phases.

Phase 1 Add on to upper deck on one side.
Phase 2 Add on to upper deck on opposite side.
Phase 3 Outfield expansion

ABSOLUTELY NO BLEACHERS!! Keep it looking crisp.

You can do bleachers in outfield behind lofts in right you can also do that in upper deck section in right. Blue bell does that and lsu does that. Sorry if it will hurt your feelings

I'm not sure that is possible with temporary bleachers, that drop off behind the wall there is pretty significant so not sure it would be feasible for temporary structures.

I like this one, keeping the berm by the visitors' bull pen and building decked GA seating behind the RF lounge area. Also extend third base side upper/lower over that berm.

The next lofts are projected to go toward the third base line side of the current lofts.
