So far the Nicholson btw LSU and downtown (closer to downtown) is probably the best spot for what this will be used for.


Which sounds like the right idea but that area would need some serious gentrification in order for the arena to be secure enough for people to go there.



The positives are it being close to both campus and downtown as well as easy interstate access at least from the west as Nicholson has a direct exit from the bridge IIRC.

Access from the east may need some work as interstate access from that direction either comes down government or detours you straight through the ghetto.

And Dalrymple desperately needs an east bound I-10 on ramp.

The area by CRPA is pretty clean. And the way they reworked the exit ramp sort of creates a barrier between it and Highland Road.
