Will Wade on Mulkey, facility improvements and players coming into the program

The day after she was hired, a friend of hers from North LA sent in a $100K donation for the basketball facilities. She understands what we need facility-wise and mentions a recent meeting discussing potential improvements to revitalizing the current PMAC spaces

Said the PMAC gets a lot of the issue on the outside but said the day-to-day facilities like the practice facilities, weight rooms and office spaces are of more concern

Mentioned there are opportunities to add amenities if the concourse was widened. There are revenue opportunities LSU is missing with lounges and premium seating spaces.

Said the PMAC shows its age but for a gameday it shows well. They would love to have better concession stands and more amenities for fans, but the “guts” shows well. Not as important as day to day functionality and ability to work better.

Practice gym almost has too much space. Wished they used the dead space for a locker room and weight room, but actual gym is good. Mentioned no offices, weight room and the locker room being cramp to put it nicely.

There is enough space but it is all about reconfiguring the space they occupy. Take the space and make it work. Make everything more synchronized where programs can have a consistent day to day operation.
