It's interesting to read that what is intended by relocating the new basketball arena on the western side of I-35 is to promote a downtown experience with all of the restaurants, apartments, entertainment venues, etc. When I attend a Baylor basketball game, my interest mainly lies with watching a good basketball game, as well as arriving there safely and with a minimum of inconvenience and surprise. If driving to the venue is more difficult (I.e. the travel to the site more crowded, the parking more congested, or non-existent), I am less likely to attend games. And if I am unable to attend the games, I hope these young people who claim the benefits of the "downtown experience" are willing to put up the money to support Baylor athletics when I no longer can.
