Cow Palace [ON]/OFF


Looks like LSU would plan to use the River Center for a period while the new arena is getting built. When Wade was here he initially pushed for a game in the Cow Palace. But he eventually acknowledged the infrastructure was insufficient to host/broadcast a game for both in person and TV purposes.

It would be interesting to see if LSU were to build a new arena at the site of the current PMAC or elsewhere? I suspect the arena would have a max capacity basketball capacity 10-11k modeled after Auburn's arena which is probably the best home environment in the entire SEC



The more fun question is what would it be called?

LSU's been pretty resistant to naming venues after big doners. But with getting the funds for this they might have to

Kim Mulkey Court at O'Neal - McKernan Arena? (colloquially known as "The G spot?")

How'd you pass up a chance to use the Marshall Henderson gif?

I agree, they need to take inspiration from new/smaller arena's like Cincinnati, Houston, Auburn, Ole Miss, and Baylor. I think Cincy's is my favorite though.

How about tear down the cow palace and build a new arena on that site. I guess isn’t being considered?

Auburn is the blue print.

Their new place is incredible.
