Basketball is great, because in general...you're just closer to the action. Nothing like it. Hopefully our suffering will be short lived with better things coming soon. This sucks.

Red Panda halftime GOAT

Other than parking and traffic after the games, NO.

For many, LSU basketball is a solid #2 on the fan interest chart.

LSU baseball is so popular because of the programs success.

Get a competent HC in here and get it back to where it needs to be.

We were going to more LSU basketball games than football back in the Will Wade days when we tried living in the BR shitehole for a while. (But we both hated BR and didn't last that many years)

If you are weighing parking and traffic very highly, then sure, it could be a better experience. Other than that, nahhhhhhhhh.

There is so much more for the fans and that is a fact. They gear MUCH more towards families and kids and there’s always something going on.

Quite literally the only thing better about football games is tailgating all day before the game.

The last game I went to was Alabama 2024. Concourse was wall to wall with people. Was like navigating I10 during 5pm traffic.

Miss half a quarter going to the bathroom or trying to get to the concession stand.

We left early in the 4th quarter considering it was 35-6.

Still took almost 2 hours to hit I12 going to Hammond.

Nothing about that says fun. I have the patience to deal with that at most once a year

ETA: There is also the weather aspect. Its hot as balls half the year.

I love red panda and wish it was, but it was quick change, which is also pretty good

What was good about it? Watching them lose another game and fall into last place,so you and the other 500 fans had a really good time watching the LSU men's basketball try hard,and get another quality loss! Nice.

Like I said the product on the court sucks, but the games are ran extremely well.

That game lasted a long time yesterday with the refs trying to set a record in FT’s for each team…

I went to the bball game yesterday too,( my first game in years) , bc the kids just wanted to get out & do something different. I agree the fan experience is pretty good. Free jersey giveaway, tee shirt artillery cannon thing, hot dogs from heaven, saw a guy roll a put in from half court & win free Whataburger for a year, quick change halftime show etc. There is usually something going on at each dead ball. They are trying. They really could have something, if you know, the basketball team was competitive.

I’ve always said PMAC is more fun than TS, provided there is a winner inside. A full and rocking PMAC is hard to beat.

Those are really nasty. Just a smidgen above the $28 Aggie Dawg + coke in a souvenir cup that you get in Reed Arena.

You should have asked around before locating in NBR.

SE BR is fine.
