The Daily Reveille printed in an Aug. 24 article an incorrect description of the Tiger Stadium windows that will be installed this year.

The 430 new windows will not be purple and gold in color.

"There is a rendering that shows purple and gold accent lighting in the archways at the top of the stadium ...                                     but the windows will not be colored purple and gold," Herb Vincent, LSU associate vice chancellor for University relations and senior associate athletic director, said in an email.

The $3.6 million project aims to increase the LSU landmark's aesthetic appeal and protect the interior of the stadium from moisture.

The money for the project will be privately raised, according to LSU Vice Chancellor and Athletic Director Joe Alleva, by selling each window for $2,000. Seventy-five windows on the north side of the stadium have already been sold.
