From an operational stand point this seems to make sense. Parking, media infrastructure, campus offices, and the ability to use the arena for on-campus gatherings that are both academic and extra curricular in nature. It may not be the exact location, but in the general area near the football stadium makes more sense to me than UNP.

Other SEC Schools are consistent with the arena location...
