Expect a renovation similar to Georgia Tech. We've hired the same architecture firm (Populous) who completely overhauled their arena. They're the go to firm for these types of stadium overhauls.

Populous - Georgia Tech McCamish Pavilion

Based on the most recent masterplan. I expect them to demo the existing ramps + build an atrium similar to GT's that will "wrap" around the p-mac. Expect them to completely reconfigure the seats + add premium seating.

That's about the 5th one in the past 10 years - hope it takes.

Impressive reno 9 years ago means the cost would be fairly high but still no where near what a new build would be.

PMAC Renovation Update Coming Soon


Unless it involves a wrecking ball and rebuild it is a waste of time and money. That said, it’ll never be ready in time…

Ga Tech’s renovation is what you need to look at.

Write the Check for 200+ Million am sure LSU would build brand new if someone is all in why criticize when its someone else's money


So we can never criticize any free agent signing of a team we follow? not our money!

Hopefully the leg room isn’t for midgets like the last renovation.

I spend a lot of time in pmac.. have mbb, wbb and gym season tickets… lots of wasted space and fluff in a lot of those designs… for anyone over 5’10”… gets tight…
I am happy with my pmac experience as is but if they did anything … get the guys knees behind me off my neck.

Facilities like that would get people excited to go again, that’s for sure.

I live in Atlanta, and the McCamish reno is fantastic. Anything close to this would be a home run.

Just checked out the before and afters online. They did an incredible job on that arena. They could make the PMAC amazing.

Well they mentioned about it in 2017 and it is now 2022 so figure about six years from december 2022 to complete id say. Sounds about right dont you think? They made a few upgrades which is not much and they barely spent much til now
