LSU fans can begin applying now for suite and club seats in the new expansion of Tiger Stadium scheduled to open for the 2014 football season.
The LSU Board of Supervisors approved a proposal Friday to add roughly 60 suites, 3,000 club seats and approximately 1,500 general-public seats to the south end of Tiger Stadium for the 2014 season.
The Tiger Athletic Foundation will look for a $100 million bond issue to privately fund the project, similar to the expansions of Tiger Stadium in 2000 and 2005, and is accepting applications online at PreserveDeathValley.org.
The deadline for applications for all seating is July 31, and the assignment of seats is scheduled to begin in mid to late August.
The order of selection will be based on the LSU Philanthropic Priority Point rankings as of July 31.
The expansion is expected to increase Tiger Stadium’s capacity to nearly 100,000, making it the seventh-largest stadium in the nation and third-largest on-campus venue in the Southeastern Conference behind Tennessee (102,455) and Alabama (101,821).
