We explored the old Ag livestock show arena a few times. Was cool. I stayed in town most summers and it was prime explore time because campus was so dead most of the time. Good times, cool thinking back

No lie, i just remembered my Olympic weight bar is from the Gym Armory 
Before the Rec center opened we worked out at the gym armory, some Balboa-esque weight room in the bottom area. When the Rec opened they got rid of the old equipment, and I somehow ended up with the bar.

My dad lived there. Said it was miserable. And he’s from Houma. Ended up a professor at LSU.

We used that pool for practice when I was growing up. Between it, the old Special Olympics Pool and the Nat, I can’t say which was the nastiest.

Tunnels
Nope.
I worked at the Varsity for a stent and there were true legends, mysteries, and lord working around me. I saw unimaginable things when the lights came on at 2:00.

The basement weight room was pretty nice for its time, but usually crowded. The upstairs weight room was a dump, but usually deserted. It also had a heavy bag and a speed bag.

Tunnels- Never really had the keen desire to explore that part of campus. I'm not a fan of spiders at all.
Same however didn’t take that into consideration. When I went we were down there about 15/20 mins and encountered massive spider webs and had to crawl on stomach to get under them. It was fun and dumb at the time , but nothing special. Found a couple spots to pop up around campus but that’s about it for anything meaningful.

I always heard the Reggie phones in the Union were direct phone lines that let you schedule for classes, and they let you in faster than if you called from home… (pre-internet days)
The lines were always crazy long.
I wonder if those Reggie phones are still working.

The bird collection and whale bones in Foster Hall. Drawers upon drawers of birds. Everything from sparrows to a penguin.

The hit and run in 1982 is NOT a myth…

Tunnels - I never did any actual tunneling
Back in the late 70’s I worked at LSU. I got to walk all the tunnels. There are places in them that get really hard to get through because of all the pipes

Maybe where the Subway is now, at Foster? In the late 70s-early 80s it was a snack bar with sandwiches, chili Fritos & other cheap quick food. We called it “The Hole.”
Foster Cafe. It was in the basement of Foster. You could walk right by it and miss it if you didn’t know it’s as there. I think they used to sell beer there, but that was before my time.
The subway there is closed and is something else now.

Correct, see that now.

Was this the basketball player that lost his shite and went inside of Mike’s cage?

Correct. That’s one of the negative stories here, along with:
Ben Wynne
Max Gruver
Edward Gay Apt murders
DTL murders

Bonus: PMAC practice court dungeon. It blows my mind that it was a practice facility for a major university prior to the complex being built behind the arena. It was about as spartan as you can get.
Back in the Brady ball days there would be some intense underground pickup games during LSU games.

My job senior year 1982-83 was as a supervisor for Graham Hall and Foster Hall snack bars.

The upstairs weight room in the dungeon was laughably bad.
Any photos of these places?

Peabody Hall.. or Poobody as I like to call it.. is the best public place to take a shite on campus.
Ah yes.... once I found it I never looked back. That one bathroom was nicer than the one at my apartment.

It couldn't be used for competition though.
Around ‘99-‘02 they had a big stainless divide that served as a wall splitting it into two pools, one for laps and the other for hanging out. I wanna say it had been given a facelift and was a nice pool not many were using. Which made it nice. The old changing/locker room smelled. Like dirty hippies and mildew.

I wish I would have taken more when I was in school. You take for granted the access you have to certain places. PMAC dungeon was a court with no seats and 4 walls. On one of the sideline walls was basically a viewing balcony for coaches. It looked kind of like the elevated track that you at the student REC courts back then.
