re: Any latest news on PMAC upgrades or demo?

What do they do with Mike while the construction is going on?

Look at post on Texas from page 1, spot on- it will be built where track stadium is-if this is pulled off it is a BOOM for BTR and LSU. TAF has approved moving forward and AD is on board. Just need to get contracts sorted out.

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 Current funding needed for T&F is $20 million, which is not a whole lot for the outdated facilities.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.

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.

If they can demo buildings for the new library, then they certainly can demo a track facility for a new arena.

I had forgotten there was another set of practice courts back there. I was referring to the former tennis facility. Been a while since I was over there.

If it looks anything like Moody I’ll faint

How many seats is it gonna hold

I was just in Mcneese's new arena. The $41 million, 145,00 square foot complex is home to the McNeese men and women's basketball and volleyball teams. The main basketball arena seats 4,242. We could do something about twice as big and it would be perfect. That arena was rocking because of the intimate setting. Seats on top of the floor meant the noise was trapped. It got super loud with only 4k people. 8-9k with the acoustics in mind and LSUs new place would be deafening. No need for all the extra seats, just add comfort and wins and the revenue will flow.
