One picture that barely shows the outside? Granted, that interior looks really damn nice, but what does it look like where it counts? Or will those USM fans not use the stadium seats and stay indoors as to not ruin their usual half full look?

Because at the end of the day, no matter how nice the suites are, they're still end zone seats. Obviously, there are people who will pay big money for end zone suites. But I just don't understand it.

they had 2 other galleries you just had to go back a page. The have a view from the field and it looks alright but u can tell its not nearly as big as it looks from those pictures of the inside once you see it from thje outside.

it's kind of odd looking because the west and east side stands are old and raggity looking... while they have this nice new expansion in the endzone. but hey, they did what they had to do, I guess. I'm still not sold on it until I actually see that stadium full.

It looks very nice. The outside seating isn't much, but that project was never about adding seating capacity (that wasn't really needed anyway). It was about adding suites and it looks like they've done a very good job with that. DawgatUSM has a good point that it makes the old east & west grandstands look pretty shabby in comparison. But like he said, they did what they had to do.

That is impressive. Their stadium is probably one of the best non-BCS stadiums in the country now.

I think at some point, MSU will have to consider taking the current Seal Building/Turman Fieldhouse down and rebuilding. The fieldhouse was pretty old - even when I was a kid. And the Seal Building was simply built on top of the fieldhouse around 1989. I would love to see something replace that similar to what Miss. Southern has done. And while we're at it, maybe we can close in - at a very small scale, the North End Zone too.

We just need to horseshoe one side of the stadium and make it look better.

Agreed.

But it looks nice.

I've been in Mississippi's end zone suites. I wasn't much prepared to like the view but you're high up enough that you can see pretty much everything. It's not nearly the bad view I was expecting. Drinking and eating free off a Reb buddy and watching them lose enhanced the experience but overall I've got a much better opinion of end zone suites now. Admittedly, I like to sit up somewhat high to be able to see the field, though, and that's not for everybody.

but having a suite to go to would be incredible.

seats in the SEZ now. If you are high enough, it's easier to tell what's going on than watching from the side believe it or not.

One thing about the baseball suites- they're ugly as crap on the outside, but on the inside, they're almost identical to the football suites. They're well done. The football suites are nice, but I'd rather be outside.

this is what you call endzone seating...
