Cabana’s blend in with stadium and are at the topWhen I read that Ian looked at several schools' Cabana seating, I googled what Miss. State had, since Ian mentioned them by name. The Dawgs may be SEC, but I think LU's Cabana seating will be far superior to what they have in Starkville.

Just a big hole. I couldn't tell if they had started seating upgrades, but when i did my seat selection, i noticed there were less seats offered in our row than there were last year. Last year, we had 22 seats, compared to 20 offered this year. I guess the improved seating reduced the number of seats in the row. Specifically, section 104 preferred. I did not see any work resembling the cabanas. My wife's takeaway was similar to mine; there is a lot of work left to do and the season opener is ONLY four months and some change away. It will certainly be nice assuming everything goes according to plan and timeline.Moving dirt is the slowest part. Once the grade and retaining walls are done, moves fast. Bleacher swap out for chair backs will hit high gear after Graduation ceremony. Not that big of a project, will move fast.

BTW - are most of us in agreement that the "Jerry Falwell Center" seems like a big waste of money? First of all, I think the Hancock Welcome Center is absolutely beautiful sitting on the hill as-is. This can only detract from that. Secondly, Jerry already has a library and a memorial and a parkway, etc. Is this really needed?

Unfortunately, y'all have been rather disappointing lately...

Replacing bench back with chair backs drops capacity a bit ( per Ian on his interview a while back )
