Joel Eaves, you are showing signs of dementia more every day. AU never had a history of supporting BB and the University never gave a shite about it. But under Cliff Ellis and the Cliff Dwellers the students and the fans supported decent teams. When AU announced the building of the AA, they emphasis was atmosphere and to get away from the empty echoes of SEC arenas. It was something the SEC Office wanted because of the Tv contracts. Ole Miss follows suit. Just like the drunk Uncle I call Bama, size is not everything and most programs have figured it out. Bama just prefers that lipstick.
Now you're going back to the narrative that Auburn never cared about basketball! Your perspective of Auburn athletic history is truly pathetic.
Do you really believe that Auburn's decision to build a mini-arena smaller than the one that they had, was anything more than the fact that they weren't able fill anything larger?
Man, you can wallow in that perception, but don't expect the rest of us to do the same.

Why would you spend $90M for a new arena because you are not filling the old building.? You do know BEC is still standing ? AU BB needed a culture change and the got it with Bruce Pearl and the AA. It is considered one of the best atmospheres in the country for BB in a normal year. BEC would not have provided that atmosphere under any condition. Again, there is a reason Duke hasn’t build a new arena. Most smart programs a getting rid of those 70s structures.
