I'm sure Duke could make way more money and move it's student section but it understands the competitive advantage it has and the brand it builds.

The pic you chose did happen to be during a game we were getting our butt kicked

The energy in that pic is fine. The shooter only sees the blue tarp over tunnel.

Taking out the bouncy floor was the beginning of the end

One of my jobs working at the Marriott Center during the summer was to slowly bounce the basketball

I think that’s one of the coolest jobs I’ve ever heard of!

It was better than getting on top of the concession stands at LES and vacuuming out the dirt

It was also fun going up on the MC catwalk and then getting up on a small ladder changing out light bulbs

I'm absolutely convinced this has made a difference. It was awesome before.

Physically there is no room to do that

Indy Coug

Why, because of fire codes? Seems temporary bleachers could go in

You can get there from the corner exits

I mentioned this to Tom Holmoe once & he brushed me off & said it wasn't possibl

Well, he's right

Indy Coug

Nothing is impossible. They just don't care about it enough to explore it.

I'm a structural engineer and know it could happen

Its possible. It would be a great improvement.
