Exactly, prime location. Tear it down and build a modern representation of the Cow Palace, with Pete out front.

BUild the new arena at least big enough to accommodate our current supporters, at least 12,500.
OMiss and AU had smallish arenas BEFORE their current arenas were built and those arenas were never filled much less sold out with season tickets.
What makes Auburn Arena a great venue is they have a winning championship-type program and an exciting leader who is widely loved there. LSU already has that for WBB and Gymnastics. We do not need a new arena to make it louder. We need winning/exciting programs/teams to make it full and loud.

Not going to happen. It’s been said on here over and over.
LSU has plans in place to renovate the coliseum and its surrounding livestock facilities. LINK

This project consists of renovations and abatement to the John M. Parker Agricultural Center Coliseum and the adjoining Livestock Show Barn. This project is part of a larger, comprehensive, phased renovation to upgrade and enhance the usability of the Coliseum Facilities as additional funding becomes available. Phase 1 scope of work for the Coliseum will be abatement of hazardous materials in the entire building. The Coliseum is a 133,839 square feet facility built in 1937. Phase 1 for the Livestock Show Barn work will consist of abatement of hazardous materials, building code and ADA upgrades, renovations to all areas to accommodate the sheep and swine programs, adding a new roof over an arena and stock pens on the north side, and upgrades to lighting, public address system, HVAC systems, and the sprinkler system. The Livestock Show Barn is a 102,312 square feet facility built in 1939 and will be reconfigured to accommodate the Sheep and Swine Show Program.
