Didn't state build the PMAC? Why can't the state build or help build a new one? How many hundreds of millions are state tax payers having to pay to renovate the Superdome?

Trust me when I tell you that you would much rather have TAF provide the funding and allow the AD to control the construction/renovation.

The state's capital outlay process, which is what the project would have to go through to receive state funding, is a long and arduous one, which would be even worse given the current economic climate post-covid. Not to mention that the academic side of LSU and all other higher ed institutions are already under funded and in need of capital funds for regular campus facilities and buildings.

Because come this time next year, tax revenue is going to be hard to come by thanks to the state and national shutdowns.
