It may never rain in Tiger Stadium, but that doesn’t mean Alex Box Stadium is spared.
Severe thunderstorms struck Baton Rouge on Monday, and Alex Box Stadium suffered its fair share of damage. Both foul poles down the left field and right field lines toppled during the storm, which also damaged the fence above the right field bleachers.
LSU coach Paul Mainieri confirmed to The Daily Reveille via text message he was waiting to meet with the administration to determine his club’s playing status for this week.
The No. 1 Tigers are scheduled to play Alcorn State at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday in Alex Box Stadium.
