The LSU softball team announced plans for a new indoor facility at Tiger Park on Thursday.
The LSU Softball Performance Center will be the largest indoor facility in the Southeastern Conference.
The 14,500 square foot indoor practice facility will dedicate 1,279 of its square feet for a weight room and 770 square feet for cardio equipment.
The performance center includes a full sized custom and motorized netting that covers the whole surface. No matter what the weather condition is, the softball team can still fully participate in infield, hitting and slapping drills.
All of the hitting lanes will include wired electricity for the staff and the players to have multiple batting practices at one time, as well as a custom multi-camera system for the staff and the players to review film post practice.
Custom turf will resemble the real grass at Tiger Park in terms of performance, and all of the lighting in the facility will be energy efficient with impact-resistant LED fixtures.
It also includes 517 square feet of storage space and a 240 square foot locker room area. Graphics will be displayed all inside the facility to honor the team’s history.
LSU coach Beth Torina is one of many coaches that pride themselves in providing first rate experiences for student-athletes.
“This facility truly sets the table for us in terms of developing our current athletes while also providing the next generation of LSU Softball players with the opportunity to excel at the highest level here at LSU,” Torina said in a press release.
After expressing the vision for the new facility, Torina and her staff were tremendously thankful for the TAF for helping to make that vision a reality.
“Our coaching staff does not want to miss an opportunity to express our gratitude to the donors who have assisted specifically with this project and to all of our dedicated fans who have supported this program so strongly,” Torina said.
The naming rights and start date of construction of the facility have not been announced.
