He wasn't bitching. He was asking. So it's not like he was pretending to know about them being interior supports. You're being very defensive for no reason.

it just looks like a lot of siding to me. the side next to the outdoor courts seems like it will be nice. but even the front is half siding. And i wonder if the long side opposite the outdoor courts is going to be all siding. Cant really tell from the renderings.

I'm willing to bet the opposing side (side facing MS River) will be just sheet metal but that's just my guess. I thought the first rendering was better but it is what it is

You are correct. The original was going to be off GSRI and have about 30 courts, enough to make a club out it as well so the AD could try and make money off it. But luckily, they moved it back on campus and are keeping the standard amount to host two dual matches

Doesn't matter. Just sad that LSU is willing to throw up a metal building and not willing to try and be the best and have the best.

That is my point. LSU is actually second in the SEC in tennis attendance. We get a good crowd. At GSRI it would have been a goat ranch with ZERO attendance. Auburn did that and when we play there it was like a ghost town

I just realized how similar it looks to the football ops building. Almost identical

bump.

So i guess it's possible that choctaw siding might be covered up but it sure looks permanent to me. It's not so bad on the side in the picture but the entire West side is going to be this siding (I think). Blows my mind they couldnt come off a little extra money for something a little less industrial looking.
