For the facilities gurus out there. I'm always interested in the things that each school is doing.
For Ole Miss:
- Playing surface replacement for Swayze field
- New golf facility
- Basketball locker room renovation
- New field at the football practice facility
- Vaught expansion upcoming, plans to be released soon
- Tad Smith Coliseum demolition
- Founders Suites & pressbox renovation

LSU is planning to replace the aging Pete Maravich Assembly Center (PMAC) with a new, roughly $400 million, 12,500-seat arena. The proposed facility is expected to feature upgraded premium seating and will host basketball, gymnastics, and concerts.

Please sir, can the decades of loyal fans finally get a new basketball arena with the money we've already invested and continue to donate?
But give us some more money so this three-star backup kid from New Jersey can buy his girlfriend a Porsche.

Wow. I know that is needed. Are there any renderings out for it?

We put a 3 year moratorium in place to figure out the impacts of NIL and Revenue Sharing. We are starting to spin up the projects now.

I'm still not sure why y'all think I hate you or something.
This is strictly facilities talk.

I'm appreciative of what we have, it just feels like we've been promised this for 20 years.

We did most of the big expansion stuff a few years ago. I think we are currently jazzing up the lights for the football stadium and building two huge training centers, one for baseball and one for track.

Besides the new basketball arena, I know there was 20 million approved for baseball practice facilities and player amenity renovations. It would be nice if LSU actually added/renovated something for the fans given the money poured into the program over the years 
Also had a new outdoor track facility in the works but haven’t heard anything since NIL. It was supposed to move off river road but concerns over the constant wind.
Nothing I’ve heard of for football but the facilities are pretty up to date and people are cool with the lower bowl being gross and intimidating

I feel the same way, my friend. Fans have been the jilted party in all of this. Our prices have gone up exponentially and we just get treated as milk cows more than anything.

Well, we're finally putting the Rock M back in. And some other stuff.

So true
The box has a great atmosphere but the amenities are trash in 2026 compared to the rest of the SEC. there’s no reason fans should be sitting in bleachers after the money and commitment over the last 40 years.

I’ve always been quick to say Jordan Hare is easily the second best atmosphere I’ve been to after Tiger Stadium and I’ve basically been to all of them besides Oklahoma. But the stadium is a dump, nice to see it’s getting some love.
