Great news sering this thing move forward! Although it didnt have any renderings it did state that the Hulman would remain with a 10,200 seating capacity, which I find interesting. I just hope that they put suites in the arena!!!
With all do respect to the decision makers, it's fucking stupid to keep it at 10,200 capacity.
maybe they should just get folding chairs and play at the arena

...or rent the E. Illinois Gym. They could use the $$$, maybe avoiding a 4 week layoff of staff due to the State of Illinois "budget crisis." Wonder what their Fall enrollment will be, 5k?:blush:
FBI outa go to Chicago & catch the "big fish" instead of squandering resources on small "ponds" like TH.
Curious what the minimum requirement is NOW to be eligible to host an NCAA Regional? If it's not 10,200, then I agree totally with you. We're lucky to get 5k/gm, and the 5K+ empty seats DESTROY any "home court advantage" atmosphere. Hell, opposing teams HATE coming to HC because of this euphoric stupor!
Get it right THIS time, architects & planners!
There I times that I wonder why I even read some of the crap that flows here. Why can't we just be happy instead of beating up on attendance. Maybe we should just play in the old Arena like when I was in school so everyone can be happy that the place was packed with 4500 people. We talk about apathy on campus, hell, it's right here, too.
I would rather it be on the big side instead of the too small side. There is no such thing as "just right".
Doesn't take a rocket scientist to average ISU attendance @ HC MINUS the Bird Era to get a "reasonable" attendance projection...always having 5,000+ empty seats reflects on our program/University. Institutional "self-actualization" is fiscally prudent and eliminates WASTEFUL spending.
BTW, I always thought it was exciting when it was DIFFICULT to get a ticket into the Arena during "alphabetical" rotation of games years! Even during THAT era, 2/3 of the student body ignored ISU Basketball.
BTW, there are benefits to SCARCITY - it's called VALUE!
How many "other functions" including the mentioned "concerts" need any more capacity than 6,000 ? Elvis has left the building and was there ever another entertainer who filled the place..............not in my memory?
