Master P is bringing a University of New Orleans' jumbotron back to Lakefront Arena after the original was destroyed in Hurricane Katrina 20 years ago...

quote:
The rap legend, businessman and UNO's new President of Basketball Operations revealed the scoreboard update on Tuesday ... days before the Privateers' exhibition game on Saturday against Shaquille O'Neal's Sacramento State.

"We got a new jumbotron. Guess why? Me! That's who," Master P said.

"I told y'all they couldn't stop us. This is for the culture. This is for the city. When you come to the game, it's gonna be entertaining!"

The original scoreboard was destroyed in 2005 when the campus, including Lakefront Arena, suffered significant damage in Hurricane Katrina. The tropical cyclone was the fourth-most intense Atlantic hurricane to hit the U.S. ... and caused an estimated $125 billion in damage. More than 1,300 lives were lost in the disaster.

That’s sad there was no money in the LSU system or then the UL system to get UNO a new Jumbotron.

Yep. UNO got fricked after Katrina. Minimal damage from storm. Most was mold from national guard etc using bldgs as staging areas, open doors no AC.

UNO isn't an HBCU etc so fed money was garbage.
