The Senator Nat G. Kiefer LSU New Orleans Lakefront Arena (commonly Lakefront Arena or LSUNO Lakefront Arena) is an 8,933-seat multi-purpose arena located in New Orleans, Louisiana. The arena is home to the LSU New Orleans Privateers men's and women's basketball teams.
The arena first opened November 1, 1983, with Lionel Richie performing for two consecutive nights. In 1986 it was renamed in honor of Nat G. Kiefer, the late state senator who aided LSUNO's efforts to obtain state funding for the building. Kiefer's state senate district included the LSU New Orleans campus. It is part of the university's East Campus; the arena is southwest of Maestri Field, home to the LSUNO baseball team.
