The LSU Women's Basketball team was in for a surprise when the new locker room was unveiled! On October 31, LSU's official X account posted a video of the reveal. The reactions of the players were priceless!
The locker room was decked out in the university's colors, purple and gold. Just taking a few steps, the players discovered upgraded amenities like film rooms, LED-lit lockers, vanity desks, and a lounge area.
The renovations were privately funded by donors Jerry and Roselyn Juneau, who contributed a whopping $1.5 million. The project was approved in June by the university's board of supervisors.
The surprise came after the Lady Tigers won their first national title in April. Coach Kim Mulkey spoke at the Rotary Club of Baton Rouge luncheon, discussing the need to modernize the 51-year-old space.
"I just know we need to upgrade," she said. "It's time to either completely renovate it or build one next to it and tear that one down."
Discussions about refurbishing the center began in 2017, and a poll was taken earlier this year to collect ideas from season-ticket holders.
Now, the Lady Tigers are ready to enter the 2023-24 season with their new locker room. The returning lineup includes stars Angel Reese and Flau'jae Johnson.
The team celebrated their special moment through social media posts, sharing photos and videos of the new space.
The players of LSU Women's Basketball can look forward to a new season with a new locker room to match!
