In the short term you are probably right, but like others have mentioned, it would be a building block for further growth between LSU and downtown.
I could understand it if there was a major residential area being connected to a major business area, but what good would a team connecting downtown to lsu do? Lsu students go to class at LSU, not downtown. People who work downtown do not live on LSU's campus. .

As downtown continues to add housing, a lot of students are moving downtown.
Students are increasingly going downtown to drink.
A ton of apartments for students and recent grads are going up along nicholson between campus and downtown.
This would also connect the water campus to downtown and LSU where many of their researchers also work and live.

You're focusing on what the current dynamic of downtown is. Part of the tram's purpose would be as a catalyst to grow downtown.
In other words, the tram doesn't have to be built because there's already a need. Building the tram can help create the need.

Exactly what I've been thinking. Sure there are some that would make the trip, but they are basically taking two different entities and saying they need to be connected when there isn't a big reason for doing that.
