Will the BR hockey team play at the new arena since the river center will be a convention center or will the zydeco be a short lived experiment.

That team will be long gone by the time a new arena happens

8,500 would be the max for sporting events so they’d stay at the River Center

With 7 wins in 37 games, the owner better buy some better players or they'll be gone after year 3 lease is up.

That shite is unwatchable for any hockey purist.

So the capacity of the new arena will be over 15,000?

There is basically no chance the team still exists by the time this arena breaks ground, much less gets built.

If they still exist then yes

Side note, a minor league baseball team would thrive in BR. An affiliate of the astros or braves.

I already forgot that team existed. The poster “Pledge” is probably the only person who goes to any games.

Look, I hope they survive but it’s a long shot. I don’t envy a small budget operation like the Zydeco having to compete directly for the sports entertainment dollar with LSU football in the fall and MBB, WBB and other LSU fall/spring sports.

The Zydeco?

It’ll never be ready in time.

For real.
