This is exactly where it will go.



The "other on campus sites" are just smoke and mirrors. Why?

1. LSU is to ignorant to use the existing track facility
2. LSU is letting a fricking developer pick the site, AND own the facility
3. OBVIOUSLY, the developer will pick a site where there is available land that is nearby to build additional revenue generating amenities that the developer will own and benefit from due to the location.

ETA:
Or it will go on the existing Golf course. It's not needed because of U Club. IF it's needed, do you know how easy it would be to locate the golf course to River Rd. The golf course certainly doesn't need to be on Nicholson. My #1 choice will be where ever the COACHES prefer it to be.

Possibly but I'm starting to think it's going to be near Alex Box.

I looked at the master plan last night and putting a big development in that area doesn't really mesh with their vision of south campus which includes a new quad in front of a new library and Patrick Taylor Hall. Doesn't give them a lot to space to grow in the future.

They're also looking to reconfigure some of the roads in the area and is that something they're looking to do at this point in time?

I mentioned above but the cost to move all of track and the Natatorium is well beyond what anyone is willing to pay, on top of having to build a new arena.

That site will eliminate one of the best tailgate areas for football games.
