Bernie Moore will be moved to the LSU golf course, along with the Natatorium. Indoor track facility should be built into the outdoor facility. Current funding needed for T&F is $20 million, which is not a whole lot for the outdated facilities. Not sure how much swimming & diving would need. I assume something less because it won't require as much space. Here's the tour of their $15 million outdoor facility. Includes offices/weight room/locker room/EVERYTHING that could futureproof the T&F program for decades, minus the occasional cosmetic upgrades.
Inside the ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS’ $15,000,000 TRACK & FIELD Facility | Royal Key
Since LSU is finally doing away with the whole "keep athletic facilities in the confines of campus" model it should be no problem to get these projects going. Just need to convince donors to pony up the funds.
I have no idea the actual plans of Bernie Moore/Carl Maddox/Natatorium but I imagine that Bernie Moore will be turned into a parking lot or some type of outdoor activity area. Maybe both.
As far as I know, Carl Maddox can't be torn down because it's a hurricane shelter, but you can easily keep the bleachers in there and add basketball court flooring. This can be shared with volleyball and basketball. Maybe volleyball gets their own stuff? I also think there can be some use with the old tennis courts behind Carl Maddox. That whole area lacks parking for a lot of events, including gameday. Making it a paid lot for football makes too much sense. Including the grass area behind it.
We should see the T&F renovations done by 2026 if we're lucky.

That has already been renovated. It’s now where the beach volleyball team plays.
