Everything with this New Orleans Pelicans experience needs a makeover. They have a good, exciting team they can put on the floor. But the building needs an upgrade, the color scheme needs an upgrade, the uniforms need an upgrade, and the concessions experience can’t be centered around getting a strawberry smoothie. You’re in New Orleans! Give us the New Orleans culinary experience! Nothing about going to this arena feels like an experience, and that can’t be the case with Zion Williamson in the mix.
“All I can picture about the building are the blue seats that are very obvious when they are empty. AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami fits here too. Also, not every player needs to have a special section with a cute name. Jrue’s Krewe?”
“Smoothie King Arena is just a mess.”

This drives me nuts. Agree with this part.

The arena will not see any substantive improvements until the dome renovations are done and paid for, I imagine. Could be a bit.

All of this doesn’t matter when you put a winning product on the floor, but none of this is wrong. The arena was a half thought idea when first built and has since been piecemealed for every renovation. All to be expected from a state funded project. The concessions suck, the club rooms were half assed, need new seats.

I do agree with this junior high school crap

There are tons of great places to eat outside the arena. I am there to watch basketball.

The entire building needs to come down and be replaced. There’s two arenas in the NBA under 650K square feet - OKC at 584 I believe and us at 572. There’s no room for expansion, redesign etc.
The viewing experience and sight lines are good, but everything else is a 5.
