LSU TIGERS FOOTBALL NEWS LSU Tigers (0-0) Vs LSU TIGERS FOOTBALL NEWS LSU Tigers (0-0) vs. Western Carolina (0-0) LSU OPENS STADIUM EXPANSION, SABAN ERA AGAINST WESTERN CAROLINA The LSU Fighting Tigers raise the curtain on their 107th season, and first under new head coach Nick Saban, this Saturday against Western Carolina in Tiger Stadium. The game will be the first for LSU in the newly expanded Tiger Stadium after 11,600 seats were added, bringing the seating capacity to 91,600, making it the fourth largest on-campus facility in the nation. LSU is coming off a 3-8 season punctuated by a 35-10 victory over eventual Cotton Bowl champion Arkansas. Western Carolina, members of the Southern Conference, posted an identical 3-8 record in 1999. The game is the season opener for both teams. TIGERS LOOK TO OPEN SEASON WITH A WIN FOR FIFTH STRAIGHT YEAR The Tigers will be looking to take their fifth consecutive opening day victory on Saturday vs. Western Carolina. The Tigers began the streak with a 35-34 victory over Houston in 1996, and followed that with victories over Texas-El Paso (1997), Arkansas State (1998) and San Jose State (1999). With a victory the Tigers would have their longest stretch of season opening victories since they won eight straight openers from 1962-69. LSU returns 17 starters from last year’s squad (9 offense, 8 defense). Offensively, Jerel Myers returns for his sophomore season after finishing second in the SEC in receptions per game in 1999. Defensively, FS Ryan Clark ranked among league leaders in tackles (110 in 1999), while sophomore LBs Trev Faulk and Bradie James are both on the Butkus Award "Watch List" heading into the year.

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.
