Found the story

New Orleans Pelicans arena 'not keeping pace' with other NBA arenas

Straight from Doug Thornton

quote:

“If you look at it today, the Smoothie King Center is not keeping pace with the modern NBA facilities,” said Doug Thornton ASM Global VP.


quote:

“The question is, what can we do,” Thornton said. “What can New Orleans afford.” It’s unclear if enough modifications can be made to Smoothie King’s current design to meet modern NBA standards. It has one of the smallest lower bowls in the league. A new arena could cost upwards of a billion dollars.

Madison said when the Pelicans went to Birmingham for a preseason game last year where their minor league team plays, some players and staff found the facilities there a little better than what they have in the Smoothie King Center.
