Where LSU’s practice facilities rank according to 247Sports’ top 25

LSU is among the top 10, but perhaps should be higher

LSU comes in at No. 8 on the list of the 25 best facilities in 2022. As Brian Kelly enters his first season on the Bayou, he makes the jump from the No. 13 facilities to the No. 8 facilities in the country.

We saw what he was able to do at Notre Dame. Now, with better digs at LSU, can he continue that same success? Can he get over the hump and win his first National Championship as a head coach?

LSU’s first season in 2019 inside its new year-long makeover of its football ops building paid off in a huge way as the Tigers posted their most impressive campaign in program history with an unbeaten run to a national championship. Featuring state-of-the-art upgrades, the Tigers now have nutrition center for student athletes to a futuristic locker room that customizable player pods at the cool cost of $28 million. Part of that came from a donation via former LSU All-American Tyrann Mathieu. According to Business Insider, LSU’s newbuilding was designed by HNTB Architecture. HNTB also designed multimillion-dollar athletic centers for other programs in this list, including the University of Kentucky and the University of Illinois — two programs inside our top 25. – 247sports.com
