Skip Bertman statue to be built in new Alex Box Champions Plaza

LSU will build a new "Champions Plaza" outside of Alex Box Stadium, the LSU Board of Supervisors unanimously agreed Friday (Sept. 7).

The plaza will include a statue of five-time College World Series winning LSU baseball coach Skip Bertman. There will also be walls and graphics honoring LSU baseball's SEC regular season and tournament titles.

The Alex Box Champions Plaza will be a 3,150-square foot area located in between Alex Box Stadium and Gourrier Lane.

The plaza is scheduled to be finished by or before Aug. 31, 2019, with construction beginning Nov. 1, 2018.
