They did this thing right. A lot of the pictures are just boring ribbon cutting festivities but man they knocked this out of the park.

They sell the pmac out quite often i think. Or at the very least over 90% capacity.

Lots. If I'm not mistaken they were at least 70% or basketball attendance. Fewer seats for gymnastics though

BATON ROUGE – For the third consecutive year LSU gymnastics set a new season attendance record as an average of 9,208 fans attended each home meet in 2015, placing the Tigers at No. 4 in the national attendance rankings released Friday by GymInfo.

This season’s average of 9,208 fans at each home meet inside the Maravich Center crushed the old attendance record of 5,633 set last season.

LSU hosted two meets with attendance above 10,000 for the first time in program history. A crowd of 12,217 watched LSU defeat Florida on Feb. 20, and two weeks later a record crowd of 13,179 saw the Tigers beat Minnesota on senior night on March 6.

Utah led the nation with an average of 14,858 fans per home meet, followed by Alabama at 12,086, Georgia at 9,381, LSU at 9,208 and Auburn at 6,188.

Quite a splurge on a program that loses money, considering all of the budget cuts the university is experiencing.

Rabalais on the radio said it was funded with private donations and a bond secured by the TAF.

That's great.

I ask because I was at the UGA meet on Friday and the basketball game on Saturday.

Attendance at the Gym Dogs meet was 10,244

Basketball was listed at 10,523 because it was a sellout.

There were more butts in seats for gymnastics

Will help recruiting tremendously as well. Won't be a better place to train for college gymnastics in the country.

Do you even Title IX?
Just because it doesn't bring in money doesn't mean we can neglect it. The men's programs have been being updated so women's has to also.
