According to the LLA report, football brought in $54 million, and men's basketball brought in $1.3 million after expenses for the fiscal year that ended June 30, 2023.Jan 30, 2024

No new taxes!

I attended gymnastics and WBB this season and the PMAC is nice. What would a new arena bring to LSU other than being new? Hopefully more space in between rows. I could see suites being sold but then that could fund the constructions.

And concerts shouldn't be considered. It is been shown that major acts go to NOLA then Lafayette.

Because we don’t have an arena!

Baton Rouge used to be a premier destination for touring acts. Everyone from Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones to Van Halen and Metallica played Baton Rouge.

You’re being short sighted at best, flat out dumb at worst.

My God. We have the biggest bunch of whining people that want to b#tch about everything!

We have an outdated 50 year old arena that gets no concerts or events.

LSU will get a new 400 millions dollar arena state of the art arena given to them free of charge. Baton Rouge will get concerts that will brings money into the economy.

AND YET WILL STILL HAVE PEOPLE B#TCH! GIMME A BREAK!
