    I was reading on (of all places) a website by South Carolina that LSU was rated No.4 in the SEC in facilities. I realize it's subjective, but its hard to imagine anyone having a better facility that this. Maybe equal to, but certainly not better. The rest can be found HERE

    For the record, this is how THEY rated them:
    1. Alabama
    2. UGA
    3. AU
    4. LSU

    It doesnt matter for it is all cyclical. Im pretty sure Arkansas has better facilities than mentioned there.

    :hihi: I take it you found it then?

    FWIW, I believe others have facilities equal to ours. Just hard to imagine anyone having BETTER.

    Terry, do you have any photos to show of Bammer's?

    My guess is that they are talking about all facilities and not just football. Here's a link to a good article on the state of athletic facilities:

    I know our new baseball stadium won't be rivaled by many, the PMAC is still in pretty good shape, and the football facilities are 2nd to none. I'm not sure about facilities for the other sports.

    As for the complex picture in the ling above, I realize some parts of it are reserved for football only, but aren't all student athletes allowed to use that facility (like weight room, audio video conferencing, etc) or is the entire building strictly for football team?

    I've seen them all at one time or another and TB3 is right, it changes by the day almost. There is always another project or re-do taking place at any given time.

    For what its worth, I think the top programs in the SEC all have really, really nice facilities and within a hair of each other in quality. The worst of the upper echelon is Tennessee. Theirs are a bit worn out and in need of re-doing the last time I was there for any length of time.

    Surprisingly Arky's facilities are not too good. For a school that boasts the Walton's as a booster they should have the best facilities in the conference but about 5 years ago they were just horrible. I assume its changed since then so who knows.

    Bottom line, all the SEC's top schools have excellent facilities.

    There's a lot of stuff we are doing or will be doing, but they ain't done yet and I don't personally know how we compare to all the other schools. Accept or reject this comparison as you choose.

    I don't have an clue regarding this.

    The pics I posed seem to indicate it's for football use only. Red would know, but he's on some sort of hiatus.
