Noticed some minuscule variations on the field at Tiger Stadium this weekend.

In Les Miles's first year (2005) we changed the endzone scheme from the full endzone block letters to the current-day LSU letter format. It remained this exact template unchanged from 2005-2021.

The template of the field numbers had remained the same for as long as I can remember. These too were edited for this season to honor the 1958 championship team.

Field changes:
The outlining of LSU letters in the endzone; no longer in a white outline.
The field numbers font; from rounded to block.

I know these variations are very small and will go unnoticed by a majority of fans.

The differences can be seen in comparison from the last home game of 2021 vs Texas A&M to the game vs SU.

Already been discussed. The field numbers were changed to a 58 degree angle to celebrate 1958 team.

Per LSU, The font changes were …

New in 2022, the numerals are in the 58 font, which features 58 degree angles at each corner. The font pays homage to the 1958 national championship team.

Think I like the old one better. The white outline pops a little more against the solid background and the purple in the older pic looks way better.

Who really give a shite about the design unless you plan to start a design your football field reality show. To notice something like that is pretty dam strange and borderline being binary.

As Owen Hart would say - "Enough is enough and it's time for a change!"

I like it. Need to go with crazy Mike at center field too.

Miles didn’t make this decision. It was made by LSU administration to further brand the newly developed Geaux font.

This needs to be the permanent field design. Anything else and LSU is stubborn to do it.

I'd prefer the white outline of the endzone letters. Also prefer the white end line as opposed to the purple one we've used the last several years.

I prefer that the Tigers play better than that shite they put on tape against FSU. NOBODY CARES what the field looks like.

Both of the changes look bad and are a downgrade
