When it's full it is amazing

However it takes damn near one good season before fans will show up for the next one

That being said, a smaller venue that holds right at 10k with the seats going up instead of spread out would be nice

It's about to get a major upgrade this offseason.

ETA: 2 major upgrades

Don't really see why they would downsize. If they put a good product on the floor, there will be butts in the seats.

Poor Young people. Y'all don't know what you missed with LSU Basketball in the 80's and 90's..... The PMAC is just fine, especially with the recent updates. "Win and they will come"

If LSU would get serious about the program, and invest some money and build a consistent winner, the place would pack out like in the old days.

Attendance would not be a problem.

Aesthetically speaking, the PMAC feels like a dungeon. I know it was renovated, but it still feels dated.

And for God's sakes, move the fricking student section back to where they were!

PMAC used to hold 15,000 plus, might need to expand it for gymnastics.

They downsized when they upgraded and replaced all the seats.

I'm done with hoops season tickets, because if Alleva ever nails a hire he will up the TAF fees anyway and ticket prices. I will get a mini plan if I decided to go back.

1 is a new coach

And I'm not allowed to say what the other one is just yet. It's something that should've been done a while ago though.

I don't like how far the seats are from the court. It's not terrible by any stretch, but my personal preference is for arenas where the seating is steeper and more "on top" of the court.

Not going to happen. It hard to get that when students don't even show up.... there were several games this year with only a handful of students...

Plus those seat are paying people now....

Same here. Florida had that and got rid of it. That student section right on top the court was legit.
