Correct, one of the very few, already been mentioned. Your fans have never supported basketball that well even despite winning, aren't your new renovations upcoming actually decreasing the capacity even more?

I'm pretty sure they use it when they play bigger D1 opponents for seating purposes. 

I guess I didn't think Memphis had a big enough following, especially down here. I know better Memphis teams have played in Devlin recently. But then maybe those sold out, so decided on the switch.
If it was LSU, or another SECw school, I wouldn't of even doubted it.

IIRC, Tulane is renovating their home floor. 

Gotcha, that makes more sense, and thought it was something like that.

They haven't been finalized, capacity is expected to stay more or less the same.

As for not supporting, that isn't really the case. Capacity was right near 100% for the championship years and has stayed above 90% every year since even through a couple down periods. If we were to build new it would probably be around 14 or 15K, we could simply expand the student section if we wanted to.

Tennessee has the biggest basketball stadium in the SEC.

Tennessee must be the biggest basketball school in the SEC.

We could play at the YMCA and not sell out this year.

I almost never think bigger is better but that is personal taste. Belle, if you liked Hinkle if you ever get a chance to check out Williams Arena and catch the Golden Gophers play it's cool too. I would love to watch Kentucky play at Memorial or Syracuse at Manley. Like I previously alluded to Barnhill was incredible.

Why is Ole Miss putting the arena right by a high school football stadium?

In what way? The arching fieldhouse roof is tthe only thing that looks similar. I don't think Mizzou invented that either..

Hey Hog, Auburn is definitely not a small school. I don't have the numbers, but I believe that Auburn is bigger than Arky.

For basketball? They are one of the smallest in the conference.
