Anyone have an update on the new LSU tennis facility? If I recall correctly, the initial plans called for a state of the art tennis facility that was going to be built on the LSU South Campus out by Gardere/GSRI and was going to be some sort of public/private club type venture. However, I just read an article in last month's Reveille and see where they are now talking about a scaled down version with only 12 courts and the facility now being back on campus.

Anyone know what happened?

I see the new LSU women's coach has locked up a stacked recruiting class for this year and touted the planned facility (probably the original design) as a positive factor in luring some of these kids to sign with LSU.

Anyone know when they are looking to break ground on the new facility?

It just says "south of campus on Nicholson". Not sure if they mean South Campus or could it be somewhere in the new Box area?

The facility is going to have 12 outdoor courts and 6 indoor courts. It's going to be located across the street from the New Alex box between the golf course and the dairy cow facility. It's scheduled to break ground this summer and it should be ready in time for the Fall of 2014.
