It’s a new arena & it’s not replacing the River Center or the PMAC. The goal is for the River Center to be more of a convention hall (there are plans to build a convention hotel near the River Center) & the PMAC will eventually be renovated/rebuilt. The new arena will take over for concerts, sporting events, etc.
That would make very little sense. The River Center is obviously staying and being repurposed for conferences and such, but why would LSU build a brand new arena for sporting events AND keep the PMAC? Modernizing it will be very expensive, and unnecessary.

The PMAC currently hosts 4 sports teams with 3 being in the same season (MBB, WBB & gymnastics). Throw in LSU wanting to host more concerts, shows & other sporting events and that’s not feasible from November-March.
Keep the PMAC for basketball & you only have to worry about scheduling events around gymnastics (there’s about 6 home meets a year).
