You say we need this to attract new residents. I show you data that proves it doesn't work in our largest city, yet I'm not dealing with reality?

Implode the River Center and build something new there if this is truly needed.

You’re being intentionally obtuse.

It’s PART of what you need

Ah so it’s really just an anti-LSU thing. Got it.

Imagine how bad the population loss would be in NOLA if we didn't have entertainment and tourism options.

Does the state need to be better at a lot of things? Yes. Does BR need to be better at a lot of things? Also yes.

If we are talking about cutting government services to pay for this, count me out.

The reality is, people give money to the football program but not the math department. People will support this, especially if they only have to pay for it if they use it.

So you'd prefer a new arena be 100% paid for by our taxes AND placed in a less desirable location?
