Someone is eventually going to catch on to the fact that no matter what they build in this town, it will eventually be ruined. I wish that weren't the case- but there's plenty of evidence that suggests it is.

I would hate to live with this attitude and mindset in life.
So should a city (a capitol city at that) never try to build/grow/innovate? Should we all give up and move somewhere else? Because "someone" might realize everything here gets ruined?

Arenas in most towns have a 30-40 year lifespan before they are completely obsolete. Both the PMAC and the Centroplex are around 50 years old. They've far outlived their useful life already despite being neglected.
It's been pretty obvious for at least 10 years that the city of Baton Rouge and LSU have been at least casually considering bigger, nicer replacements for both of those facilities. I'd hope that once they build this new Arena that they'd demolish both the PMAC and the River Center arena.
What I would hate to see is an aging, decaying mess with no real purpose like the old Mid South Coliseum or the Astro Dome.
