re: Proposal in BR to build large new Arena to replace both River Center and PMAC

Sounds like a cool idea but I love the location of the PMAC. Doubt they will place the arena there.

I don't see them putting it where the PMAC is. It's probably going to go on Nicholson somewhere or possibly on new land acquired by LSU somewhere else in town.

The PMAC location would be a tight squeeze for a newer, bigger arena.

Keep in mind that the new facility would cost about $300 million, which is substantially more than what U of Alabama budgeted for theirs. They clearly want to build a larger arena that's scalable and flexible enough to host a wide variety of sports, concerts, etc. for the entire region. They will likely want to build out retail and hotels nearby too.
