    We need a new baseball stadium and perhaps a small arena for minor sports like volleyball and gymnastics which draw smaller crowds and are swallowed up in the big PMAC.

    We are good to go in most other areas.

    I know that I contribute to the economy. I drive in from Houston for every home game.

    I can't think of anything the football program needs. We have done some major upgrading in the last six years.

    The new baseball stadium is a done deal. You may be right about the needs of the minor sports, but with all the money we have been pouring into football and baseball facilities, I don't see any improvement in other facilities for the next few years.

    A small gym/arena been talked about for a decade now, so its definitely on the list. It will offer some title-9 spending to offset the $$$ spent on men's sports. It also will not be all that expensive, about like a big high school gymnasium. It will probably be next after the new Alex Box Stadium.

    The PMAC loses a lot of entertainment and show business dollars because it is booked up so much for minor sports that don't fill a 10th of the capacity. LSU can make more money from the PMAC if the minor sports find a new home.
