Pete Maravich Assembly Center is a 14,164-seat multi-purpose arena in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The arena opened in 1971. It is home to the Louisiana State University Tigers basketball team. It was originally known as the LSU Assembly Center, but was renamed in memory of Pete Maravich, a Tiger basketball legend, shortly after his death in 1988. It also hosted the Southeastern Conference men's basketball tournament in that year.
After the NBA's New Orleans Hornets were displaced by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the arena was under consideration as a possible temporary home for the team. Eventually, the NBA made the Ford Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma the Hornets' temporary home, but the team will play six home games at the Maravich Center in 2005-06.
