So they got the city to agree to limit capacity of the raising canes center so that LSU can host the big events.
Which devalues the naming rights, advertising, and concessions/catering revenue to the RC center. I love how people have zero Fs to give for essentially re-writing contracts after the fact. Maybe Cane's will still be the sponsor after the changes go into effect, but they're not going to pay the same, by any stretch of the imagination.
LSU already has a place to host big events, as Garth Brooks has proven. But it's more horse trading BS, which even so called conservatives will support. Never change, Louisiana, never change.

You're a dumbass. The River Center is no longer adequate to host major concerts. It's why they all head to Lafayette and Nola. And no, they're not hosting 'big events' at Tiger Stadium on a consistent basis unless you're covering the sod replacement costs after each event.
Be thankful that the city and LSU have some type of vision here and are working together. They've decided that it's best to repurpose the River Center into a convention center with a new hotel. This new arena will be on LSU's campus and will house LSU Basketball along with other major concerts and events. And it's being built without any type of tax increase or financial debt incurred by LSU/TAF.
I'm sure Cane's is more than welcome to sponsor this new arena though. The Moody Foundation paid $130M to the University of Texas for the naming rights at Moody Center.
