Maravich Center

Paramount to the success of an intercollegiate program is a first-class facility, and the Tigers have just that in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.

For over 40 years the “PMAC” has been home to some of the finest gymnastics competitions in the nation, and LSU has been nearly unbeatable in the facility since the program first started in 1975 for a winning percentage of 83 percent.

The Maravich Center has served as the host site for three SEC Championships and ten NCAA Regional Championships.

Tiger fans have come out in droves to the Maravich Center to watch LSU gymnastics. In 2024, LSU claimed the highest average attendance in the nation with an average of 12,590 fans per meet. The Tigers exceeded 11,000 fans at every home meet in 2024.

The Maravich Center is home to the largest center hung videoboard in college athletics. Featuring the latest in HD technology, the $3 Million videoboard equals the size of 105 50-inch televisions.  

Seating 13,215 spectators, the massive $11.5 million building has competed with neighboring Tiger Stadium as the most visible structure on the LSU campus since its completion in 1971.

Originally named, “The Assembly Center,” in 1988 Louisiana Governor Buddy Roemer signed legislation changing the official name of the building to the Pete Maravich Assembly Center in honor of the former LSU basketball legend who had died earlier that same year.

The Maravich Center also serves as home to both the LSU men’s and women’s basketball teams, as well as the volleyball program.

#1 Attendance in the Nation

Tiger fans continued to prove why they are the best in the nation in 2024 as the LSU Gymnastics program finished with the highest average attendance in the country for only the second time in program history this year.

 LSU finished the regular season with an average attendance of 12,590, marking the highest average in school history and the seventh-straight season with an average of 10,000 or better. A total of over 75,000 Tiger fans showed out to the PMAC across six home meets this year.

 2024 marked the seventh consecutive year that LSU has finished in the top four of average attendance nationally. The Tigers first claimed the No. 1 spot in the country in 2022 and once again reclaimed the top spot.

 The Tigers home season was highlighted with three consecutive sold-out crowds, the most that LSU has seen in a single season. Fans filled the PMAC for the squad’s competitions against Auburn, Alabama and North Carolina as each of those crowds rank in the top-10 largest in program history.

 LSU welcomed their largest crowd of the year in their final home meet against North Carolina last Friday as 13,283 fans showed out for a senior night victory. The crowd was the fourth largest in school history and achieved the program’s third consecutive sellout inside the PMAC this year.
