Interior of the LSU Indoor Practice Facility in 2015

The LSU Indoor Practice Facility, ^[1] built in 1991, is a climate-controlled 83,580 square feet facility connected to the Football Operations Center and adjacent to LSU's four outdoor 100-yard football practice fields. ^{[2] [3]} It holds the 100-yd Anderson-Feazel LSU indoor field. ^{[4] [5]} The playing surface is Momentum Field Turf by SportExe. The indoor practice facility is adjacent to both the football-only weight room and LSU's four outdoor practice fields. ^[6] Besides allowing the team and the Tiger Band to practice during inclement weather, the indoor practice facility is used for LSU's summer endurance training and summer football camps. ^[7]

The LSU Lady Tigers soccer team uses the facility when inclement weather prevents the team from practicing at the LSU Soccer Stadium.
