Auburn should have waited 10 years to build a new arena

They could probably fill a 19,000+ big time program arena right now. Instead they're stuck in that dinky mid-major 9000 seater. Sad.

They could only wish to have the aura and intimidation factor that Bud Walton provides.

They couldn't fill a 19k arena.

I mean, a 9,000 seat basketball arena is equal to a 35,000 football stadium. Great for an up and coming program. Sad for a program that considers themselves among the best in the nation.

Damn. Yall gave up on football 25 years ago? It must suck to only be half good at Basketball and suck at football and have to stoop to only being able to brag about having more seats in your arena than other schools.

Duke has a historic building with a legendary fan base. You have a 10 year old glass and steel building with no character. It's almost offensive, as a college basketball fan, that you would even try to compare that cookie cutter arena and your cookie cutter fanbase to Duke.

Without the new arena Pearl is likely never hired and we would still be a 10-25 program or how ever many games are played...

It appears to be a real issue for the players and recruits Bruce keeps bringing in. I will give Bruce a heads up about your thoughts, Thank you for caring so much about Auburn Basketball...

LoL you do you bro.

I'm sorry that your football team has never won a SEC Championship so you have to talk smack about roundball in which I have no problem admitting my program is historically to SEC basketball what Arkansas is to SEC football...

But hey... at least you have your lesser conference titles in football from the 60s, a couple in the 70s, and a couple in the 80s.

Wait a minute, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't #5 better than #17?

While you are at it remind me the last time you won a SEC title in basketball?

LoL we have been a laughing stock in basketball for the last 30 years basically and we have won 2 conference titles in basketball since you won your last...

Strange to talk trash when you havent even won a conference title in basketball since 1994!

And look at you now. Stuck having to take the number of seats in your arena as some sort of moral victory. Congrats on all those seats for people to come sit and look at old banners.
