Where does the PMAC rate compared to other SEC schools?

KM has demanded upgrades to the PMAC. The Queen gets what she wants. The PMAC is old! It was built in the 70's and needs serious refurbishment or replacement. If it's replaced where do you put the new building? How long will it take to build and what does LSU athletics (MBB, WBB, Gym, VB) do while it is being built?

UNO Lakefront is better. Also, the basketball game experience is pretty weak. That nerd on the mic is awful. Also, his mic only worked half the time.

The plans are to build another facility (not necessarily a new PMAC) further down Nicholson where that sewage plant is. The other facilities (track stadium & swimming) will be moved down Nicholson near Alex Box. Whether the PMAC is renovated or torn down & rebuilt…im not sure.

If rebuilt, I really wish they would keep it exactly where it is now. I hate that stadiums are moving further form campuses. Tear it down, play somewhere else for a couple years and keep that college feel.

I've always had this thought of a new arena with funding from Shaq and other big donors called the "O'Neal Center" but I'm dreaming.

The PMAC probably doesn't nee to be destroyed but absolutely needs updates all over the place and is failing way behind other SEC and even P5 programs. Look around the country and you'd be surprised at how nice many basketball arena's are.

Hard to tell except we all know it’s better than Vanderbilt.

It is absolutely insane to me that LSU basketball doesn't have some kind of premium suites/club seating for the donors. They need to get those old rich fricks away from courtside and put the students in a decent spot.

It's fine if we remove 1000 seats and add some suites

A dump. Lakefront Arena is nice because it gets 15-20 in the seats for UNO games. Only time it sold out was in the Ledell Eackles years, and WWF wrestling.

Pmac is so freakin arse. The Lights on the steps don't even work on the North side of the building.
