I think either location could work well though I'm leaning towards LSU.

I wish, we'd be lucky to get a simple 12 story tower. Lol!

Good one!   

If we get a new tower within the next couple of years, it's likely going to be a mid/mid-upper tier hotel like a Westin, Embassy, or Double Tree.    Which means it won't very modern or bleeding edge in terms of design but it will likely be fairly large.     And I imagine it will be pretty close to where the Centroplex/River Center is now.
