re: Facility upgrades?

we have all seen Coleman with lots of empty seats even when we were tourney teams

We've also seen Coleman sold out when they were mediocre teams. You build a new arena for the future of the program and the excitement it builds. We've averaged just a little over 12k in attendance the last decade. A 15k+ arena is just too big. One around 10-12k with better band and student seats is ideal.

Gonna take time though with any facility upgrades. I would like a new basketball arena for both m&w programs right now, but a new aquatic center would start attracting more talent and be a big boost to our program.
