Never=non-viable.

"I don't think"is quite different from "never" and you certainly know that.

Neither of these things are true and you certainly know that.

I agreed we are never going back to the Mecca. But NOT because its not a viable option. Its because its in the best interest of both the Bucks and Marquette that we play in the new stadium. When something is in the best interest of both sides, a deal is going to get worked out.

I mean I would get if you disagreed about the Mecca being a viable option. I would disagree but that's an understandable line of thought. This whole you can't think an option is viable if you don't think its what will end up happening is really odd. I think the United States declaring war on North Korea is a viable option but I also think it will never happen. I think leaving my job to be a stay at home dad is a viable option but I also think it will never happen (in the future, the mamajuana on the honeymoon did not bless us with triplets as RC83 foretold).

However, this is the wisest thing that has been said in this thread:

This is a weird internet fight.

So I'm going to bow out. Feel free to have the last word.

I do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.

Your vision of an appropriate arena has a lot to do with your vision of the program.

If you don't see us regaining a status as a elite level college program, then sure the MECCA and the Panther Arena is fine. Sooner we get back there the better.

If you believe we need an on-campus arena, I'm sure Dr. Lovell would love to take your $80 million and a check for the location.

But, if you believe we're going to again be an elite program with lots of wins, excitement and a couple more natchamps, then the Milwaukee Bucks arena is where we need to play.

It's that simple! We aint going back.

In the past 40 years, since we last won the National Title, only one team has won a title that played the majority of their games in a NBA arena, the 1984 Georgetown Hoyas. Villanova has two titles in that span but play most of their games at the Pavilion. There is no connection nor even correlation between playing in a NBA arena and winning a national title.

There really aren't many college teams that play a majority of their games in a NBA arena.   Marquette, Georgetown and a few years back Memphis moved into the FedExForum.  I think that's it.

St. John's only played 7 games at MSG.
