How much do you think this would cost?
Hundreds of millions but are we to ignore the economic growth trigger?
Revitalize the area besides shitty strip centers. Create economic boom. LSU raises money and builds stadiums. Ground lease out the remaining lots to be restaurant, hotels, off campus student housing, and etc. This way LSU could have final approval over the use instead of section 8 housing everywhere. it’s very extreme, but Louisiana will continue to flounder due to conventional thinking. Create reasons for young people to stay in the city/state, create reasons for companies to open offices in the area, and make the city more enjoyable for visitors during not just the fall.
The entire southeast is booming. Yet, Louisiana is with the ranks of New York and California on top population decline.
These are all just pipe dreams and graduates will continue to flock to Houston and Dallas.

Why is LSU responsible for the economic growth of BR/LA?

I agree with this. Baton Rouge needs to act as a satellite of LSU that just happens to be the capital

This is all nonsense. LA's unemployment rate is 3.6% which is 35th in the Country, so 15 states with higher average. GDP growth was 2.2% in 4th QTR of 2022 which was 26th.
So LA economy is sort of right around or close to national average, maybe slightly lower.
The population decline that LA experienced the last 2 years was more to do with the 2 Hurricanes that hit in the late summers of 2020 and 2021 and lots of working class folks lost homes and just did not come back.
Houston and Dallas are going to attract people period because of the sheer size of those metro areas regardless of what any other state bordering Texas does.

This. LSU should own all of Tigerland at this point, as well as most of Highland towards downtown.
