LSU fans literally send 10000 people to watch women's gymnastics. Win and they'll get more than enough support.

They do need to improve the lighting and aesthetics, but the structure is just fine.

ETA:

Aren't we getting an outdoor beer garden outside the the North Endzone of the football stadium? That would be great for basketball tailgating.

When Mike use to drop down from the ceiling!!


If you're talking about the one that used to go upside down really fast, that was my dad!

Edit: I posted this a while back in another thread, but here's a quote from him about it:

quote:

Facts are: a State Trooper did it for a couple of years, I believe 81&82, I did it from 83-93. In 94 and 95 or 96, the ROTC group did it until the kid burned his hand real bad. That was the last time it was done as a rappel. I believe, from the later comments in the article, they lowered someone in a slow descent. One time, we lowered a mannequin in a Kentucky basketball uniform about half way. The crowd was booing so loud… until we cut the rope. The mannequin hit the floor and broke apart. Then, Mark Jeffers, the real mascot at that time (and the best and most controversial, in my opinion (blind ref skit was his idea)), came across the court with a big dust mop and swept the pieces off of the court. The crowd went wild! The comment about upside down, really fast (almost a free fall) and flipping at the last minute is true. I did that a few times.

It's about to get a major upgrade this offseason.

ETA: 2 major upgrades

We about 10-15 years too late on getting a new scoreboard.

You must have just started following basketball.. the pmac used to be electric


It still is - every other FRIDAY night from January to March. Sometimes on Sunday afternoon - like this Sunday #2 LSU vs # 3 Florida. Sell out crowd, fantastic team introduction, amazing athletes from both teams putting on an incredible show. Will be like LSU and Kentucky basketball from 1978 to 1993.

Hopefully it's a new suspended scoreboard/video screen/info-center.

The PMAC is a relic of the 70's bland multi-use arenas. There's nothing aesthetically pleasing about it. However, the arena doesn't make the atmosphere great. The team and fans do. Ask Ole Miss and AU. Both have nice new arenas where the atmosphere is almost as dull as the PMAC.

Not going to happen. It hard to get that when students don't even show up.... there were several games this year with only a handful of students...


Win and students will be lined up to get in. It's happened before. It can happen again.

does the upgrade involve changing up what has to be one of the lamest student sections in all of CBB?

I wish the SS was part of the upgrade. It needs to be moved back to its old spot for sure.
