STLfan Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 There has been alot of debate about the size of the arena. I don't want that in this thread just answer 10,000* or 13,000* nothing else. I am curious to see which is the more popular opinion on here. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billiken75 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 With any winning - I believe the crowds would return - but I would be happy with a 10K facility too - let's just get it going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slu72 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I know that looks like a change but when you give it some thought, it's got to be 13+. Reasons: program improves we're going to wish we were still in Savvis pulling in 17+. If the Big East falls apart, and the hoops schools go their own way, there will have to be a Papal Conference made up of East and Midwest schools, we're gonna look a whole lot more attractive with a bigger arena than a smaller one. Give the students the front like other schools do. I like that jumping thing they're doing now, and who knows what they'll come up with in the future? Mooning? Imagine that for a moment on nat'l tv.

dewey33 Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 >10,000. Get it done and create better atmosphere/"buzz" I, too, would prefer a smaller building! A real "home court" is so important in college basketball...I think it could also create a demand for student tickets...I want the building to be full every game...like Dayton or Xavier, who cares what we may draw in the future, i'm talking right now. Right now, a student can wait until the last minute and get a great seat. If they get turned away a few times, there will be an urgency to get the tickets earlier. It will show them that their seat is "valuable", right now SLU tickets are something like the free shaving cream they hand out to freshman at orientation. I full arena will also create a need to televise more home games regionally for those who can't get to every game, thus increasing our fan base. If we have a huge draw like Mizzou or Illinois, we can always play in the dome or the savvis for a huge gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taj79 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 .. its either or. I think 13K is a little too big. YouDee Arena is a little over 13K and they don't fill it .... and what else is there to do in Dayton, Ohio in February? I think 10K is a little too small. Citas is a little over 10 .... Cleveland State is around 12K ... and I like the Petersen Arena new at Pitt. Halton has been described as too spartan and that's just below 10K. Create the buzz. There are two other fine venues in town that might pay us to move a game there once or twice a year if its a bigger payday we seek. But for that, you'd need a buzz first.

Billies Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Doesn't the decision to build a 10K or 13K facility impact the ability of the university to use the faciltiy for other events such as concerts, arena football, etc., as depicted on the online tour of the future facility?

GOSLU68 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 averaged 14000 based on Charley Spoonhauer;s personality he was burned out physically by the time we got him and he never recruited when he was supposed to be traveling. Grawer got some wins and started the ball rolling and certainly Sodaberger has the charisma and energy to put us back to our glory days now that we are competing in "the church league" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guest Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 117895 is perfect, but I will settle for 2 as long as me and VTIME get seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jg99 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 9,000 would be plenty for the Bills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
