It’s been another special season for LSU gymnastics, which ranks third in the nation and is the top seed heading into the SEC Championships in New Orleans this weekend.
The Tigers are looking to return to the Four on the Floor this season, and they put themselves in a position to do so by defending their home arena in Baton Rouge. They’re 6-0 at home on the season, and the support from the LSU faithful is a major reason for that.
The team led the nation in average attendance in 2024 for the second time in program history, averaging 12,950 people per meet with over 75,000 total fans attending home meets this season.
Why wouldn’t you want to compete in the PMAC ‼️

“Our fan base continues to show why this is the best place in the country to be a collegiate athlete,” coach [autotag]Jay Clark[/autotag] said in a release. “We are so grateful to our fan base for their loyalty and for the enthusiasm in which they come out. The PMAC is truly a unique environment unlike anything else in college gymnastics.”
The Tigers had a program record three home sellouts this season with the largest crowd coming in last Friday’s regular season finale against North Carolina with 13,283. The team also set a record entering the season with 8,000 season tickets sold.
“We continue to break records with our attendance and create an environment that’s second to none,” Clark said.
The Tigers enter the SEC Championships this weekend looking for their fifth conference title overall and first since 2019.
