this isn't far from where a lot of people are speculating that LSU's new 20,000 seat arena will go up.

north of Magnolia Mound Plantation along Garner Avenue and Oregon Street.



ETA: I thought most people were speculating that LSU would look at the south side of campus? How much property does LSU own on Nicholson north of the gates?

Can we start a fund for LSU to buy out all the surrounding ghetto?

How about they buy tigerland and all those areas and just raze it to the ground.


Then build it there.
If you take out the ghetto, you can build it back nicer and safer

The new arena will be on LSU’s campus just fyi.

Where will the new arena be located?

The new arena will be constructed on LSU’s campus. More specifically, Landry says a site in the vicinity of the university’s baseball facilities on Skip Bertman Drive seems to make the most sense, though he stresses that nothing is set in stone.

One of the sites originally considered for the arena was the area next to the Pete Maravich Assembly Center where LSU’s track and field facilities are currently located. Those plans were scrapped, however, due to the considerable cost of relocating the track and field facilities.

Commercial Properties Realty Trust, which develops and manages property holdings of the Baton Rouge Area Foundation, purchased about 40 acres of rundown land on Nicholson Drive last year. Landry says that land is “absolutely not” being considered for the arena, though establishments like hotels and restaurants will likely be constructed there to support the arena.
