CWS is not a covered stadium so it's subject to the elements. Outdoor practice will take place in CWS and on the grass practice fields and in Nutter when necessary. UK is covering all possibilities, it would seem.

We'll keep winning bball tourneys to help finance the new Rupp Arena.

Well here's some before pics of it:



...compared to what it looks after the new graphics...



It's a nice facility, and both men and women use the locker rooms there to enter play, rather than the old locker rooms in the "basement" area of the PMAC, which now belong to volleyball and gymnastics...



Oh and since it's you EKG, no response would be complete without a gratuitous shot of that beautiful Tiger Stadium fence...

Only at LSU would a 3 foot fence be an insurmountable obstacle.

It's all about how you look at things. You see "...an insurmountable obstacle." I see a thing of beauty.

Dat fence.

FWIW, UGA has two grass fields, two outdoor artifical turf fields, and will soon have an indoor turf field.

I figured other teams had something similair?

(The parking lot and buildings in the top left are where the new IPF is going.)

Looks like A&M is going to make a serious case for best overall facilities in the SEC.
