Welcome to saveHPL.org

Many of you may not know that the Huey P. Long Fieldhouse’s Pool facility has been closed for the past 7 years. It has fallen into dismal disrepair, and it is disappointing to see this unique building not only be shut off from today’s student-body, but be allowed to completely decay before our eyes! This building is in need of repair as is evident by the photographs on this site. The memories of this once unique and great facility have been relegated to a small tree growing where the bulkhead once hung.

At this point in time, nothing is in the works with the University to take care of the HPL pool facility. Would you partner with the LSU swim team and help start a campaign to restore the Huey P. Long pool? Let’s honor the proud traditions and memories that began with this original LSU building by donating today towards the Pool’s renovation and restoration through the Tiger Stripes Aquatic Fund.

Thank you in advance for your concern and support.

Update 4/20/09

A new student preservation group has been formed on LSU campus called Preservationists Around Campus (PAC) and they are going to focus on the HPL pool as their first effort. They held their first organized event on Saturday, April 18, and had more than 70 people view the pool and pick up information about the status of the building. There were several visitors that expressed interest in supporting the effort to raise money for the cause. I would like to thank all the members of PAC and all those that came out to support our cause.

Please check back for more updates.
