Not worth my time. I know we sold out of season tickets and last 3 games based in the broadcast vs SCAR. Doesn't mean the seats were full but it's been sold out

You're losing your touch, garrison. There are rarely any LSU fans biting your bait anymore. I only count 3 in this thread including myself

How have the mighty fallen

There's no offseason for your LSU-obsession

Wait until the Pavillion is done. LSU will have the worst arena in the West.


It will not be the ugliest. I've seen images of that thing y'all are building.

With how borderline corrupt AU is, we probably didn't take bids and gave it to a board of trustees nephew's friend or some bullshite.

Auburn Arena is pretty nice though. Not elite by any stretch but for where AU is as a program it holds noise well and gets the job done

I don't know all the games that we've sold out, but they sold out of seats against UNA and we're selling standing room only at the door.

Came in under budget, somewhere in the low 80s. Created demand by building a small Arena, smart on Universitys part.

You contract low bidder when you're poor, or want Walmart quality. You dime store bitches need to take some lessons from old money.

This thread is sad. The PMAC is a fine facility, maybe obsolescent, but certainly not obsolete.

It's home to one of the finest practice facilities for both men and women in the country:




The PMAC itself is absolutely immaculate on the outside...




...and on the inside:




...and it features some of the better premium lounge areas for fans to enjoy before and during basketball home games...





...the one thing the PMAC lacks, is suites. It was designed and built at a time when suites and most forms of premium seating were rare in college basketball.

Given how proactive LSU has been in adding suites to most of it's most popular facilities...Football, Baseball, Softball and Tennis facilities all feature or will feature suites...this issue is due to be addressed.

The PMAC is nice on the inside. The outside style is obviously dated. The worst thing is that you have to walk up the ramps to get in; I am getting a bit older so it is starting to matter. Perhaps the exterior could be re-engineered , and access should be made easier.

Auburn averaged 5,800 per game in home attendance in 2014. In a 9,100 seat arena. No wonder you go to Auburn. Must be a poli-sci major.
