I'm definitely cool with a new arena but 15,000 is unrealistic.

LSU is a 12,000 max basketball school, more like 10K would be perfect.

No way we're ever selling out 15K.

Let build an arena like Auburn...perfect size

or do like Texas and have the fancy panels that fold down and block off the empty seats.

While the arena can seat around 15,000, basketball games will only allow around 10,000 as the upper section will be closed off by panels. Those panels, which rotate up to allow seating in the upper bowl, are acoustic and are meant to bounce sound back to the court.

Not only do they block off the empty seats but they bounce sound back towards the court and can be used to projections and light shows.
