Long Beach State athletics has announced that the three games originally scheduled to be played in the Walter Pyramid this week will be moved to the Goldmine.

All three games (Women’s Basketball vs. CSUN, 1/23; Men’s Volleyball vs. Concordia, 1/24; Women’s Basketball vs. Cal Poly, 1/25) will be played at their originally scheduled times and will continue to be broadcast on ESPN+.

Facility work on the Walter Pyramid is continuing and determinations on the facility for additional games inside the Walter Pyramid will be made at a later date.

On January 16, an exterior suspended ceiling fell on the south side of the building. No one was injured. The ceiling panels were cosmetic, not structural, and did not impact the Pyramid building itself. The primary structural system of the Pyramid remains intact and safe.

In the coming weeks, out of an abundance of caution, similar ceiling systems are being assessed and reinforced, and aesthetic updates will be coming. Due to this facility work, the Pyramid will have restricted access and reduced occupancy. This will also necessitate that the next few home games scheduled for the Pyramid be relocated.
