No one's " triggered" listening to same people ***** over and over about the downsizing of the new arena gets rather old. Especially when it's clear as day it ends downsized so we can actually create and home court advantage. As far as golf dude, he falls into the *****ing category

Wrong again genius.
Just posting "Tiny arena is tiny" several times. It's funny that it gets you all worked up. I think I'll keep doing it now.

Another naming rights opportunity for the new arena missed by Mack Rhodes:

Kentucky plays at Kroger Field.
Boise State plays at Albertson's Stadium.
Texas Tech plays at United Supermarkets Arena.

Tom Thumb would be the perfect partner.

No need for naming rights. We do need to allow alcohol sales for special events so we can bring concerts to town. McLane stadium can easily host stadium shows. And foster can hold smaller concert and like WWE type events.

A few interesting observations from this construction photo:

1. They have brought in the use of a third crane.

2. Dirt is now moving on the parking garage.

3. Those square holes in the concrete at the front are for the escalator, I believe.

Square holes would be elevator shaft.

That's definitely not stadium lighting what it is is the lights they use when they work at night and apparently someone probably forgot to turn off the one in thereso far there's not any electricity in the building yet no wires or anything has been installed

That would be preferable to the (H.E.) Butt Arena!

McLane has already taken care of the food distributor representation for us.

I think the Tom Thumb moniker is more in reference to the size of the arena.

In that case, maybe we should get Cefco to sponsor the arena...

Just because it has limited seating doesn't mean it won't be kick ass.

It's going to be a nice little arena and fun to watch games in. I'm not worried about the seating capacity.

Cefco would be appropriate only if it had a seating capacity of one.

Not likely. I expect they were prepared for most possibilities.

Does anyone know about pricing for the new arena? A friend of mine has court side center seat behind the tv announcers. He told me that tickets will be 4X next year and he will not be renewing.

I believe it. Your typical Joe Waco type BU fan will never see the inside of the arena.
They're building a small 7K arena for a reason; less seats = premium prices.

Will the premium ticket purchasers drive to Waco for a mid-week game?

They haven't for years at the Ferrell Center; that's why all the black chairs on the floor are always half full at best.

Maybe for the non-conf game vs McNeese St but not any marquee games.
