Demoing the PMAC is about more than just money. It's been deemed an "architectural significant" building. Something about its design makes it important. For that reason, it may be difficult to get demo permits.

With it no longer housing basketball, I think it'd be neat to turn it into a multi-purpose student center with restaurants, sports bar-like environment, gaming stations, hair salons, shopping, etc. that give students a top notch gathering spot. On Football game days, a free concert venue and tailgate would be pretty awesome.

They’re keeping it for operational support, practice, and an area for additional offices, etc.

This is actually the best idea I have seen for the PMAC. I always thought "Texas Live" was the coolest thing when going to LSU games in Cowboy Stadium. Make it a place where people can go that don't have tailgates to go to.
