Very nice! Kinda reminds me of the Info. Wonder if they had the same architect.

Story about soccer attendance records.NCAA soccer attendance records

So now that CSU made the 2nd round and UA left in the first, anyone think Waters will be open to renewing the rivalry games?

The Don had mentioned he would like a joint venture wiht UA that would allow a minor league team (basketball/hockey) to also use it.

That map can't be right... Buffalo's in Canada, but Canada is missing!

I was dreaming of kangaroos last night... gotta be a good sign!Zips will get a rematch with the Wolverines this year

Think there's any chance Steward would play if there's a need and the potential to go far in the tournament? I'm guessing not so they can preserve his medical RS, but you never know.

Does anyone know if they are planning on adding more seats in the gap shown in between the upper section and the club/lodges...seems to be avery large gap still or this is a bad angle. It would see from the renderings that there should be more capacity on that second level than there is now. Seems like a big chunk left to do?I think they are leaving that for later so they can get still the crane in.

Remember all the damage Wood and Romeo did at the post... BMcK/CMcK/Nikola/Parrish as a 4 with Bardo/Swiech/Marshall at the 5 has all the possibilities of more damage :blink:

egads... they still have the old yellow block A for our logo!

Congrats to the guys on a fabulous season!!!!!!!!!!

I hate seeing Humpty on the bench but it's almost as if his absence has provoked McNees to step his game up and with the exception of his heroics on Tuesday he hadn't been playing all too hot as of late. I was just happy to see another solid performance from McNees tonight.Same thing happed when Wood wend down last season; someone steps up to fill the need.

Is there already a light at the Sumner entrance, or will they be adding another? Wouldn't it make sense to have the exit at Grant where there's already a light?

I hope Humpty can get some rest for that ankle.

That was one fugly win! Was it really that sloppy, or did the zebras just want to be the stars?

HOLY *(&)*(!!!!!!!!!!!!! TIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why the *(&*& is he shooting 3?

Can't must have that special "something" ... that special character/team make-up ... that makes them "appealing" to the bookies/odds makers in Vegas! Easy to do business with maybe? I thought that was Toledo.

I agree to a certain extent...I know that the coaching staff really don't want to put "too much" more weight on Zeke because of his quickness. He is currently at 225..perhaps another 15-20 pounds on him will make a huge difference in his ability to box out those guys..but my question for u "trumpet" is how "quick" are those big guys? That is going to make all of the difference. Zeke runs up and down the court very quickly (which will work to his advantage) and can probably beat them in transition.When BG ran the 2-3 zone, Polk was basically parked in the lane the whole time giving him the advantage to get the defensive rebound. I agree that quickness can be an asset (Cetinovic seemed to able to score because of his quickness against him). I was hoping they would get the tempo up to negate Polk's size (and possibly stamina).

The only thing that concerns me is his weight. Polk is 285, Parks is 270, Mavunga is 255, van Kempen is 265... he's going to have a hard time boxing out guys that considerably outweigh him.

Akron club hockey team

It was a club team. Maybe they had financial difficulties or too few players?

Or the Big East.

Can someone explain where Wyoming fits into this? Akron would be favored over the Cowboys @ Info (unlike the Buffs). And we might get a future matchup in Laramie outside the blizzard season. Then again, it might be in November! Apparently BG may also have overscheduled and may have to drop their game against WY.

I think this is VERY telling of the situation the MAC is in. We can't get on TV unless it's on a weeknight, but we can't see vastly improved attendance unless we play on saturdays. People want, NEED, the saturday tailgating college football experience. This is especially true when it comes to season tickets. Playing some weeknight games doesn't automatically mean poor attendance numbers, you can still have alot of walkup sales, especially if the team is doing well, or it's good weather, or it's a big opponent.But season ticket sales is where the money is for the athletic department. People don't by season tix based on who our opponents are. It's based first on when the games are. You simply can't ask people to know whether they'll be available on a Wednesday night 6 months from now. And in a sport like college football, where season tickets only means 5 games, even one game that a person can't attend is too many... they might as well buy walkups for four games and assume they'll be able to get decent seats than buy season tickets and miss one game.What's the solution? Get the games on Saturdays, national TV viewing be damned. I'd much rather build a fan base within a 50 mile radius. If you want out-of-area exposure, start negotiating HARD to get games on FSN or STO. Also, get a real online streaming video of all games. Hell, charge $50 for the season for it. As long as people know it'll always be up and always be a good video stream, they'll pay for it.On the budget bottom line, it may make more money to get one game on ESPNU than to get 5k more people per saturday games, but for the future, it leaves us in the same spot: decreased local fan base and begging ESPNU to put us on a Weds night game.Bite the bullet for 5 years, get a strong saturday fan base, and ESPNU will be asking us to put a saturday game on TV.Catch 22... can't get better TV exposure if you don't have the fans in the stand (to show you have a following), and you can't get the fans if they can't get to the weeknight games.
