Auburn is the best home environment in the SEC
I am so fricking tired of hearing about Auburn's home environment. They put 10,000 in their small arena and yes they are loud, But the PMAC for women's basketball and gymnastics is no different when those teams are doing well and there are 2,000 to 3,000 more fans than Auburn. The PMAC is the best venue for women's basketball and gymnastics in the country, At some point I am convinced men's basketball will return to a prominent spot within the conference and will begin to draw large crowds.
Why in the hell would we want to reduce capacity by a third just to be like Auburn, We have a much larger population base to draw from and historically have packed the PMAC when there are ranked and contending teams. If a new arena is built it should at the least maintain the same capacity. If that is the answer it should be at a totally new site with the PMAC used until the new arena opens. Moving to the River Center would set all programs back.

Other than people in this thread, who/what is suggesting that LSU is moving anything to the River Center?

You can not like it and think LSU is going to start drawing 15k for basketball…one day…but the trend for quite a while now has been to smaller capacity venues. Even Texas, a school larger than LSU, in a city with a population double that of BR recently opened a new basketball arena with just over 10k in capacity. That is roughly 6K LESS than the old arena held for basketball. It’s very difficult to see LSU bucking that trend
