re: New LSU Arena? - EBR Metro Council Agenda

You can not like it and think LSU is going to start drawing 15k for basketball…one day…but the trend for quite a while now has been to smaller capacity venues. Even Texas, a school larger than LSU, in a city with a population double that of BR recently opened a new basketball arena with just over 10k in capacity. That is roughly 6K LESS than the old arena held for basketball. It’s very difficult to see LSU bucking that trend

You are talking out of your arse. The moody is 15k, but they don't use the upper deck for all basketball games at this point. With the upper deck and floor seating for a center stage show like harry styles it was over 16k.

The spurs also played a couple of games there with 16k. I believe they have opened the upper deck for a couple of early sellout Texas games, and we should do the same at LSU.
