For those worrying that the building will have fallen to shite before 30 years is up, that's not realistic. The Smoothie King Center is 25 this year and has held up nicely (other than being ugly). If the thing is built right, and with cutting edge technology, it will last longer than the shitty PMAC.

According to the LLA report, football brought in $54 million, and men's basketball brought in $1.3 million after expenses for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2023.Jan 30, 2024

No new taxes!

I attended gymnastics and WBB this season and the PMAC is nice. What would a new arena bring to LSU other than being new? Hopefully more space in between rows. I could see suites being sold but then that could fund the constructions.

And concerts shouldn't be considered. It is been shown that major acts go to NOLA then Lafayette.

You must not visit the Pels board often. They are constantly talking about how it's the worst arena in the NBA and a new one needs to be built.
