Our T&F, Gymnastics, Tennis, and Swimming/Diving teams disagree with this assessment.


I knew someone would bring up a sport that does not have top facilities, and that is understandable. It seems like Oregon has a pretty good reputation, but I would imagine even the Ducks have a few teams that feel as though their venues could be upgraded. Every school is this way, hence why I asked for all-around.

It would be easy to pick 1 or 2 sports that have great venues, but LSU has at least 5 sports that have top-notch venues (Football, Boys/Girls Basketball, Softball, Baseball).

Until 2008 we had top notch facilities for one sport: Football

Now we have done a great job adding Baseball, Softball, Soccer, Golf and Basketball to that list.

But we are still the only SEC Tennis team without an indoor facility and while the Track resurfacing will go a long way they get the short end of the stick for how successful they have been.

Add to the list of shitty facilities mens and womens tennis. I played intercollegiate athletics in both the SEC and ACC. LSUs facilities for football and baseball I would categorize as top notch. Basketball was one of the worst in the conference but is improving. Non-revenue facilities are deplorable.
