I tried bumping my old thread but i suppose it's anchored. Anyway the structure is coming along nicely but it does appear to me the choctaw siding is going to be a permanent facade. It's not so bad in the pic because it's broken up. But i think the entire West side is going to be this type of facade (could be wrong about that). I can't believe LSU couldnt have come off a little more money to have something a little less industrial looking.

If anyone has inside info on the construction and knows that more is planned to cover up that siding please jump in.

Yeah in the gallery you can see the North and East side. Both have some siding. The south and West side look like they will be the less used sides and i think both might be completely siding (not half and half like the North and East).

Up until the late 90s it was the 2nd best in the SEC and top 10 in the nation. At this point, other schools put money into the program and built facilities, and LSU did not. Thus, it being the only SEC school without indoor courts. With the new facility, expect to see LSU back in the hunt

I guess. Don't really agree though.

It is a pathetic mentality. LSU should not have the worst facilities in the SEC in any sport. It is pathetic and embarassing

Can someone explain what the boxes in the photo are for? Possibly bricked versus not bricked areas?
