Mike VII, LSU's next live tiger mascot, is expected to arrive next month and he will have some renovated digs to enjoy when he does get there, according to the Tiger Athletic Foundation. The 15,000-sq. ft. habitat that houses the tiger is undergoing renovations to improve the technology and comfort.

The improvements include the Comfort Rock, an expanded water feature, new landscaping, and the Rockwork Tree, a large structure at the center presenting a more realistic tree structure. Comfort Rock will allow Mike VII to lounge comfortably regardless of the temperature and the water feature will encourage more activity during cooler weather.


I hope it's a cub... But fa real tho... a comfort rock? Is that like a safe space?

They should've installed a whore door like the one at Kirby.

That's a cute little bastard. Would love to have one until it got about 300 lbs and starting looking at me like an entree....

This pretty much guarantees yet another gay tiger.

I hope this new tiger is meaner than the boogie man himself.

I'd love to see a cub. He will have big shoes to fill. Mike VI was the GOAT!!! Had a great personality, and loved kids. Mike V was always full of piss and vinegar, and had a true hatred for the human mascot in the costume. Mike IV I only got to see once and just seemed like a chilled Tiger.

Can't wait to see the new Mike!!!!

I know PP7 and TM7 and hung with them at a game last year and while we were bullshitting about old times I suggested that they buy LSU a baby tiger cub and surprise the fans by walking him out on the field on a leash. They were hyped about that idea. So if they do it, I'm claiming my credit now.

I'm pretty sure that the head of the vet school said that he was looking for one that was 1-2 years old so he could judge its temperament.

I don't think they ever get a cub. When they got Roscoe, they said something along the lines of their criteria being a tiger that has proven itself to be handler-friendly.

Yes, Roscoe refused to go to the stadium many times, but he never mauled anyone, which is the top priority.

How do you even read that and turn it into a safe space discussion?
