You won’t get that. She wants the new arena to be basketball only


And she’s wrong on this count. The arena can be designed for basketball, but still host events off season to assist LSU and BR in a much needed revenue stream during the offseason.

I love Mulkey but to think a new arena shouldn’t host graduations or concerts is short sighted.

This is why they aren’t getting rid of the PMAC.

The new arena will host entertainment shows & probably gymnastics & volleyball. Basketball will remain at the PMAC, which will eventually be renovated/rebuilt.

It makes sense honestly. Anyone that’s been to the PMAC for a game this year can see how they’re having a hard time keeping it up with 3 different sports going on at the same time.

Also a new arena hosting 3 sports teams at the same time doesn’t leave much room for anything else between November-March.

ETA: I wish Woodard would issue a statement clearing up some of the misconceptions & laying out their ideas.
