About Pete Maravich Assembly Center

Pete Maravich Assembly Center opened in 1972 as the LSU Assembly Center and was renamed in 1988 in honor of “Pistol” Pete Maravich, the LSU basketball legend and the most prolific scorer in NCAA Division I history. Owned and operated by Louisiana State University, the arena sits at 1 North Stadium Road on the LSU campus in Baton Rouge and seats approximately 13,215 for basketball, with configurations varying for gymnastics, concerts, commencements, and other events.

Known as the PMAC, The Maravich Center, and “The House That Pete Built,” the venue is home to LSU Tigers Men’s Basketball, LSU Lady Tigers Women’s Basketball, and LSU Tigers Gymnastics. Its event calendar also includes touring music acts, family shows, university ceremonies, and special campus events. Over the decades, the arena has hosted LSU basketball, championship-level gymnastics meets, major concerts including a Bruce Springsteen performance in 1984, and served an important humanitarian role in 2005 as a field hospital and shelter for thousands of Hurricane Katrina evacuees.

The arena’s flying-saucer-style dome, sweeping circular roofline, and enclosed bowl give Pete Maravich Assembly Center a distinctive campus presence and a loud home-event atmosphere.

Location & Transportation

Pete Maravich Assembly Center is located at 1 North Stadium Rd., Baton Rouge, LA 70894 — on the LSU campus near Tiger Stadium in the heart of campus activity.

Driving and Parking: Most visitors arrive by car. Parking is available in surrounding LSU campus lots and garages, with demand strongest for major basketball games and gymnastics meets. Lots fill well ahead of high-demand events, and traffic around campus is heaviest when events overlap with football or other LSU activity, so arriving early is the best strategy.

Transit: LSU’s Tiger Trails campus transit system and Baton Rouge CATS bus routes serve the university area. Transit is most practical for students and local attendees already moving through the campus area, while many out-of-town guests use campus parking or rideshare.

Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are available at campus access points near the arena. After large events, expect delays and congestion on campus roads as drivers, pedestrians, and rideshare vehicles all move through the same area.

Nearby Accommodation: Hotels are concentrated along Nicholson Drive, Highland Road, and the I-10 corridor near campus. Downtown Baton Rouge also offers lodging options a short drive from LSU for visitors pairing an event with a broader Baton Rouge stay.

Venue Navigation

Pete Maravich Assembly Center has a circular arena layout, so understanding the concourse and bowl before arrival makes it easier to move efficiently from the entrance to your section. Guests enter at concourse level and then move up or down into the seating bowl.

Entrances and Access: Multiple gated entrances ring the circular building and feed into the main concourse. Because the venue is organized around a continuous ring, guests can enter, follow the concourse, and work around the building toward their numbered section.

Seating Levels: The arena features one large circular seating bowl surrounding the floor. Seating is organized into lower-level sections closer to the court and upper-level sections higher in the bowl, with numbered sections continuing around the full ring.

Accessibility: ADA and accessible seating and services are available at Pete Maravich Assembly Center. Accessible parking is located in designated campus lots near the arena.

Getting to Your Section: Signage and event staff help direct guests around the concourse to numbered sections. The continuous ring layout makes it straightforward to circle the building, though large crowds can build around concessions, restrooms, and entry points before major games and meets.

How Much Do Tickets to Pete Maravich Assembly Center Cost?

Pete Maravich Assembly Center ticket prices vary widely depending on the type of event, the artist or team, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from LSU basketball and gymnastics to major touring concerts and campus events.

For LSU men’s and women’s basketball, upper-level and corner seats can start lower than seats closer to the floor, while lower-bowl midcourt sections are typically priced higher. Opponent, matchup strength, ranked games, rivalry dates, and overall demand all influence pricing.

For LSU gymnastics, tickets are generally accessible for many general and reserved seating areas, while marquee meets and premium seating locations can command higher prices. Demand can rise quickly for high-profile SEC meets and championship-caliber matchups.

For concerts and special events, pricing varies widely by performer, production setup, and seat location. Some events offer more modest entry points, while major headliners and premium floor or lower-bowl locations can be priced significantly higher.

Buying earlier generally yields better seat selection and pricing for high-demand games and concerts. As inventory shrinks and the event date approaches, the best remaining sections often become more competitive, especially for marquee matchups, major touring acts, and popular LSU gymnastics meets.

Pete Maravich Assembly Center Seating Guide

Pete Maravich Assembly Center’s circular bowl surrounds the court, with lower-level sections close to the floor and upper-level sections rising around the full ring. For basketball and gymnastics, the best choice depends on whether you prioritize proximity, midcourt sightlines, atmosphere, or value.

Best Seats at Pete Maravich Assembly Center

• Best value: Upper-level and corner or end sections are typically the most affordable areas, offering a full-arena view and the energy of the PMAC crowd at a lower entry point.
• Closest to the action: Lower-bowl sections nearest the court put you closest to the players, routines, and sideline energy for LSU basketball and gymnastics.
• Best overall experience: Lower-level sideline sections at midcourt offer the strongest balance of sightline, proximity, and atmosphere, making them a favorite for fans who want a clear view of the full court.
• Premium and suite options: Premium sideline seating and group or season-ticket areas are available for basketball and gymnastics, with specific configurations varying by event.
• For groups: For high-demand LSU games, gymnastics meets, and concerts, coordinating seats early gives groups a better chance of staying together in contiguous sections.
• General admission: For events with general admission seating, the layout offers more flexibility, while ticketed LSU games typically use reserved seating.

Getting Ready for Your Pete Maravich Assembly Center Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a busy campus arena where parking, walking routes, and event-night crowds can all affect timing.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Mobile service can be congested on a packed LSU campus during large events. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the arena entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Arrive early for major games and meets, as campus parking fills and traffic builds, especially when events coincide with other campus activity.
• Wear the right footwear. Expect walking across campus from parking areas and stairs within the bowl, so supportive shoes are helpful for getting to and from your seats comfortably.
• Dress in layers. The arena is indoor and climate-controlled, but the walk to and from parking is exposed to Baton Rouge heat and humidity.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Campus roads and lots get busy before large events, and post-event congestion can slow the trip out after the final buzzer, routine, or encore.
• Know your entrance. Knowing your section and nearest entrance before arrival helps you move into the circular building efficiently and reach the correct side of the concourse.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
