What do you think LSU's most pressing athletic needs are?

This is aside from any of the current projects currently in work on campus, and any already planned projects not yet begun.

My top three...

1. A new natatorium. Our current one is outdated and an embarrassment to the university. It's not even air-conditioned.



For comparison's sake, this is Mizzou's Aquatics Center:



Which is part of their Rec center:



I expect TAF to include either a new natatorium or renovations to same in the next round of athletic improvements. Which would probably begin in either 2016 or 2017.

2. A new basketball arena.



As much love as the PMAC gets, it's out-dated. For one thing, it has no suites, and little premium seating. Even ULL's Cajun Dome has suites for crying out loud.

Here's Mizzou's arena for comparison's sake:



Why do I compare LSU's facilities with Mizzou's? Because LSU's athletic budget is about twice the size of Mizzou's. And our revenue is almost three times as large. So there is no excuse for Mizzou to have any facility that's as significantly better than LSU's as these two facilities are.

Any hope that TAF would consider replacing or renovating the PMAC is many years down the road. I don't think both the natatorium and the basketball facility would both be in the same round of improvements, but I could be wrong there.

3. A cohesive look for Tiger Stadium

IMHO, it would make the most sense to carry the look of the new SEZ expansion northward. A facade could be applied to both the west and east sides to match the look of the new expansion:



Here's what I mean by a "facade"...the curtain wall surrounding UCF's Brighthouse Network Stadium:



...basically, this would just be a thin layer of precast brick made to look like the SEZ exterior.

This would go over the current facades on the east and west sides, and give them a uniform look:



You could argue parking garages would be a more pressing need, but I consider that to more of an issue for the academic side.

Your thoughts?
