That's one thing that Auburn got right (at least for TV) is having the student section on the floor. The rest of the stadium is empty, but all you can see is the mostly packed in student section. It at least looks good for tv.
Yeah that's what the powers that be were saying they were gonna do with our new arena when it was planned and being built. The sell job was not just a sparkling new arena but that it would be "Cameron Indoor West" with the students all ringed around the court and be a great intimidating environment.
The outcome was pretty much the complete opposite of that, with students shoved into one corner behind one of the goal lines and the lower seats in the other three corners given out to all the fat cats as discussed above.

Didn't we just spend around $6 mil renovating the Stegasaurus in order to "keep up" with the other schools in the conference? Talk about polishing a turd...
This is why I really don't blame Fox for recruiting poorly. Sure, if he'd play the AAU game it would help, but no top ranked basketball player is going to want to play for a team with, hands down, the worst facilities in the conference. Until the AD gets serious about trying to to build a competitive basketball program, we're going to continue to suck a massive amount of dong at this sport.
