Make it 15K and allow beer sales, and I'm on board.

Yahtzee. Honestly, I don't see myself getting season tickets if I can't drink damnit.

Yes, the Benny B Thunderdome will serve beer.  No, it won't seat 15,000 (closer to Sultan's 12 is probable).  Groundbreaking is still on schedule for early to mid- 2030.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

The Benny B Thunderdome won't be necessary after I build the Warrior Code I'm really a badger fan Hey Sports Palace, but I'll name one of the concourses after it.

The game at the Al torpedoed that. Without it, they would have averaged over 14,300 and finished #19.

Hello... where do you think the money to support our basketball program comes from?

Yes, I know TV plays a role. But having a 17,000 seat arena and the ability to fill it when we're really good matters. It really does.

For years, we played in an arena with 11,700 seats. We sold out every game, to the rafters. We moved to the Bradley Center and average these days about 12,000 to 14,000 tickets sold. Under these circumstances, I see no situation where a 10,000 seat arena would assist us.


So is Coach K a dope for not insisting the Dookies play at the Carolina Hurricanes' PNC Arena? They could draw twice as many fans to the bigger place!

A third coming, realistically.  This season will be critical.  A good Italy trip will build excitement to reverse this, but that is perhaps too optimistic with all the newcomers.

Not sure where Duke's revenue comes from, but I know a lot of our's comes from the 14,000 to 18,000 people who buy tickets on a regular basis for our games/

I was at Marquette when our Arena seated 11,700. I would have much rather had an 18,000 seat arena at the time any day of the week. Would have loved to watch Al fill an 18,000 seat arena night after night.

Bigger is better! Especially if it is full!

Agreed bigger is better!

Three ideas on the Duke revenues:
- Cost per ticket is higher than MU
- Duke almost certainly pulls in way more from merchandising
- ACC contract provides more $ to ball than MU does

I wasn't really trying to compare our situation to Duke's, which is why I made the parenthetical reference at the end of my post.

From a pure basketball enjoyment standpoint, I far preferred the old Arena to the BC. But I certainly understand we are making more money at the BC. There's no going back.

I think UConn does it pretty well -- plays a few games in Storrs to give that campus feel a few times a year, but it plays all the biggies and most games overall in Hartford.

Why would Duke want to share an arena with NC State?

So since we averaged 14,300 for the games in the BC, the program must be on life support due to the fact that only 300 extra tickets were sold?

Bigger is most definitely not better if it means a loss of gameday atmosphere.

Not sure what you mean by loss of game day atmosphere. During Al's finest days -- the mid 1970s -- and our atmosphere was great. Why? Because we won and because our head coach and team members were dynamic and colorful. Being in the Arena had nothing to do with that. Al and the guys did.

A few years back, we put just short of 18,000 people into our building for our games against teams like Georgetown, Loserville, Syracuse, Notre Dame and Villanova. If we're good and playing a BIG game against a name, quality opponent, the game day atmosphere will be there. The NCAA knows that, which is why they play regional tournament games in hellholes like the old and not-so-dearly-departed Metrodome.

If we're losing to the University of Nebraska-Omaha, Western Michigan or UW-Green Bay, we could play our games in the Old Gym down on Clybourn Street and it wouldn't matter!

We have one of the ten best prep prospects in the country on our campus and you need an exhibition walkthrough in the land of tagliatelle to build excitement?

Well, there are a lot of diehard MU fans and boosters who never frequent Scoop.
