re: New LSU Arena? - EBR Metro Council Agenda

quote:

---

The days of new arenas with large capacities are over (at least for the foreseeable future). The last two new SEC basketball stadiums (Auburn and Ole Miss) hold less than 10,000 people.

Maybe, maybe not.

Not SEC, don't think it matters, but Nebraska's new arena seats 15K and Marquette's 17K. Both were built about the same time as Ole Miss'. Moreover, Ole Miss' Tad Pad had less capacity than the new arena and Auburn's capcity is approximately the same.

I do believe you are correct in your assessment, but I don't think it's a given that a new arena will be built at a reduced capacity.
