After meeting with Goodell, Benson and Landry will then visit Silver at NBA offices on Tuesday to document plans for a major renovation of the Smoothie King Center, the lynchpin for a long-term lease extension between the team and state. The project, which is still in the conceptual stage, would involve the transformation of Champions Square into a refurbished and reimagined entertainment district.
From an article about them meeting with Goodel for a super bowl bid, they are also laying out the plans for the SKC renovation. Should hear more about those plans after the meeting I assume

You should try living in the real world.

The arena doesn’t need major renovations, it needs to be torn down. It was a $250m arena built on a $100m budget. The building is in complete disrepair. The HVAC system is shot because it was tied into the Dome to save money.
Build a brand new arena next to current SKC and develop a true sports and entertainment district.

That’s what needs to happen but it won’t

Can’t pay for the Cathedral renovations and leave half your estate to the church if you’re expected to pay for $800m arena.

The roster and coaching staff are the things that needs “major” renovations
They can make the smoothie king into a diamond castle, but if the team still sucks, fans aren’t gonna go regardless of what renovations they make to the damn arena

I was looking at imagery on Google Earth the other day and I think they should tear down Champions garage and put a new arena there. Also demo the “tunnel” and have the new face of the arena face Champions Square directly. Then demo the current arena and put a new parking garage there. Just my idea.
Our arena should not be in the Superdome‘s a-hole. Let a parking garage be there.

This would only make sense if you were committed to winning as a franchise.

I told you guys that the NBA ain’t leaving New Orleans as long as their money to be made for All star games.
