huge downtown visibility. Much more than naming rights-I think it was a great move on -M's part. Hell, even black and gold seats! If only it had a little more capacity it could've been Marquette Arena. I wonder how much rent we pay the BC over a ten year period- without the right to host 'concerts' or primary scheduling and prominent signage.
They paid $230,000 per year before moving back to campus. For an extra $110,000 per year they get their name on the place and other concessions. Sounds like a good deal to me.

We've got a year to do some serious fundraising. A year from now I envision....The 0-34 Arena!!!
This was offered to Marquette 15 years ago. We said no.
