If a new arena is ever in talks, it needs to stay in the center of campus. When you start moving things too far off campus, the feel just goes away in my opinion.

I say we level PMAC and Track stadium.

Build NEW State of the art PMAC in that footprint.

Move track out near Alex box. It’s such a waste of space where it is.

Would be awesome

The new name should be The PMAC SHAQ.

Agreed. Especially to create a top 10 atmosphere. NIL and coaching has to do the rest.

Ima guess attendance for mens baasketball will be in the shitter for a few years…so any plans for a new arena are probably gonna be held up for a bit.



would actually be the perfect time to build it...

Exactly right, the admin doesn’t give a shite about attendance, if the boosters want their boxes, and they do, there’s going to be a renovation or a new arena. It just tells about the people who run LSU that they’ll spend 15 mil plus to act like bosses in their boxes but they won’t shill out more than 2.6 for a coach. I think McMahon can get it done because he has the right idea about recruiting and can coach basketball, it’s just telling about the admins priorities when you look at where the spending goes in regards to the basketball program.

I love the PMAC, I love that it’s right next to tiger stadium. It’s about the only thing that doesn’t scream LSU is now a corporate university. Why not gut the PMAC, take out 1,500-2,000 seats, replace the uppers behind the baskets with the new boxes and move the students back to the sideline? You could pack the place at 10k, the big wigs would have their boxes and you’d keep the historic arena and it’s communal feel right next to Tiger Stadium.

I wish it could be a total renovation of PMAC because oft its unique shape and location on campus and the history made in that center.

So SW doesn`t care about basketball thats why he spent
2.5 mil a yr on Mulkey.By the way morons ,SW promised
KM renovations to the PMAC.Sometimes I think LSU has the
most ignorant fans in the SEC.

Where would they put it? In theory, it could help expand the academics part once they demolish the old one, if they put it further out.

I personally like the PMAC though. I think it has character.

Kim Mulkey does way more for LSUs brand than just basketball. Spending money on her doesn’t mean they care about basketball. It’s pretty obvious the administration isn’t willing to give the programs the support they need

I think we need a new arena. You can keep putting lipstick on a pig, but a new arena is going to have to be built someday and it will cost more in the future.

Pretty sure the consulting company that built States baseball park has been hired to start drawings.
