LSU sports should happen on LSU's property. The whole point is to get the university vibe.
This is going to be much more than just a sports arena. That's why they want the agreement with the River Center. LSU wants the revenue from hosting events in this arena when there isn't a basketball game. They probably also want to lease nearby space for hotels and restaurants that will depend on regular events there.
Also - LSU has property all over the state, especially in EBR. And they can acquire more land if they need - and quite easily if it's already owned by BRAC or the city of Baton Rouge. All of them seem to have their hands on this plan.

They have concerts in the PMAC forever, my original statement stands. This is an arena for a major LSU sport, it should be on campus, not downtown. Its just a bad idea.
