FFS. That is complete nonsense!
Alumni seats 6,800.
Gonzaga just built a new arena and guess how many it seats. 6,000.
Gonzaga has cited the lower capacity as one of the best decisions it made It kept tickets scarce and ensures every game is sold out and packed because if someone can’t attend a game there are other people that want to get to a game even if it isn’t a big game because it is so hard to get tickets to a game.
and Hinkle at Butler is 9,100 it is the smallest venue in theBig East.
Anyone that says a new arena needs to be built doesn’t have a clue. Not to mention it is glaring that in saying such a thing they don’t grasp the climate of UB athletics where money can’t be wasted.
