OPERATIONS CENTER
Phillips-Bordelon Locker Room After walking past a display of the history of LSU uniforms and gear, players will enter the LSU Phillips-Bordelon Locker Room, the everyday hub of activity for the Tigers. Over 150 state-of-the-art, proprietary pod-style lockers will be used for storing personal items and practice gear, as well as serving as personal space for rest and recovery. The lower portion of the pods has the feel of an international, first-class flight with a fold-out bed and features charging stations for electronics and an iPad mount for watching film, doing school work, or recreational viewing. A mud room was added to serve as a drying and cleaning area for shoulder pads and shoes, and will have separate ventilation to keep odors outside of the main locker room. Bacteria-resistent phenolic surfaces will ensure that equipment lasts longer, stays cleaner, and performs better. More than 60 lockers have been designated for former LSU Tigers currently playing in the NFL to use while training on-site during the off-season or during a bye week.
Tyrann Mathieu Player’s Lounge The Tyrann Mathieu Player’s Lounge is designed as a comfortable space for players to relax and unwind between classes, practices, and workouts. The room offers a stunning view of Tiger Stadium and features virtual reality racing games, video game consoles, theater seating with HD television, refreshment stations, and a ping pong table. Former LSU Tiger Tyrann Mathieu funded the room through a $1 millon donation.
Walk-Through Room The LSU Walk-Through Room features a state-of-the-art projection system for the players to participate in a virtual walk-through of game simulations. Formations will be projected on a 20-foot wall and players can set up defensive or offensive plays on the purple turf to learn adjustments based on motion, formation and personnel. Experience Room The LSU Experience Room showcases a 4D video experience that allows viewers to experience the feeling of running out into Tiger Stadium on Game Day. The screen is shaped like the viewer is sitting inside of the player’s helmet, while the seating adds to the experience of motion entering the stadium.
