  1. Well it is located on our somewhat suburban campus, but there is bus service to campus from downtown. There is otherwise tons of free parking on campus, next to the arena
  2. Thought I would share pic of the mostly completed Robins Center from last nights game. Still final work to be done on luxury suites above the video boards, but place looks sweet. Hope our teams soon start meeting there for Big East games..
  3. The renovated Robins Center has all new seats, large video boards in each corner, new hospitality suites above them, new lighting, new ceiling, new sound system, 500 new seats down closer to the court, which helps to compensate for losing seats in the corners. So far they have spent close to 20 Million. Next phase is to upgrade the concourse and entrances. Original Arena Renovated Arena rendering
  4. Richmond fan here. Take it for what it is worth, but in my discussions with high ranking UR officials, they seem relatively confident that Richmond and St. Louis will end up in the Big East in the next few years. From what I was told, SLU seems to be a lock for the 11th spot, and it comes down to whether or not the BE wants to the geographic balance Richmond offers versus the more institutionally similar (i.e. Catholic) school in Dayton. I was told that Xavier does not want Dayton, and Georgetown and Villanova do want Richmond, with Georgetown being the greatest proponent of UR. I hope that UR's renovated arena, along with a very successful season this year helps seal the deal. Renovated Robin Center is almost complete..
