Looks good. Will it seat +-10k?

Alright. Villanova has an arena with less than 7k.

Notre Dame's arena will be smaller than this one

Xavier's arena is around the same size.

Around 9500 is the official seat count but 10k will get in.

Villanova and Xavier are small schools. Not even D1 in football. Try again.

How so? You picked a school with an historical venue that cannot be upgraded and will not be upgraded.

Because your original statement statement was only small basketball schools have arenas that small. That's not true.

We're talking basketball. This is irrelevant to the discussion.

Just going to ignore Notre Dame and Duke because they prove your point is wrong?

Simply not true, it's why the big schools have 15K+ seat arena's and small schools like Auburn or Ole Miss have 9K gyms.

Our small basketball school has no problem beating your big basketball school in your big basketball arena.

Except they don't. Neither Duke or Notre Dame are "Small basketball schools" but they each have the same arena size as Ole Miss does.

When it comes to funding basketball? Good god yeah, it's why they haven't ever been good historically and thus, have little fan support and build 9K gyms. Nothing wrong with it, just how it is.

To be honest I would rather have a 5k seat arena and 4500 fans attend than tho have a 15k seat arena and 4500 fans in there. Coleman crowd gives me the sadz.

For sure, Bama is no different than OM or Auburn, they will never draw 10K+ to warrant that big of arena despite being big schools overall.

How so? Oh and Duke has upgraded Cameron Indoor over the years. I don't know where you got the information that they haven't.

Same. I'm just saying that calling a school a "Small basketball school" because they have a small arena is pretty ignorant
