I’m a huge proponent of build a new arena downtown Athens
They'll need to move fast to do that. Downtown is a damn gold rush right now with a lot of corps. snatching up the land to develop bland arse apartment/restaurant/office space buildings.
Just saw the plans for a new development right at Broad Street and Newton. Took down the hotel and fraternity house that sat right there to do it.
Aside from downtown, where else on campus/near DT can they throw a new arena?

Nowhere, really. Campus is old and landlocked and lacking parking in a big way. Only thing close to Stegeman would be the Ag Annex which 4H threw a total bitch fit over the idea of tearing down for the IPF (nevermind they would have gotten a brand new annex a block over out of the deal). Other option would be South Milledge but the reason we won’t build anything there is the complete lack of infrastructure for traffic down that way. The outdoor track needs to be redone but we are for some completely stupid reason beholden to the 5 Points residents who like to use the track to jog in the mornings and therefore can’t (won’t) touch that space, even to make it better for the track team

People don’t want to hear this, but a hypothetical new UGA basketball arena would be much more likely to go on South Milledge, near where the softball and soccer fields are, than it is to go downtown.
