works for me. visible and accessible from Exchange & Rte 8, and in the same area as the rest of the sporting venues. makes it easier for the person who is unfamiliar... all in the same area.
with all the athletic bdgs in one area, I think they could build the new BB arena in the parking lot next to the JAR, then level the JAR to replace the parking.
I heard that Joe Pa is making the whole team clean the stadium after a game due to a few players getting into trouble... talk about a bit of peer pressure to keep in line!
speaking of the JAR, wouldn't it be cool to have a kick-off party for the new stadium there (or in the fieldhouse) that was open to the public and show fly-thru images of the new stadium on the big screen? They could also have a place set up to make donations towards it.
the city owns a large area of land at Perkins and Rte. 8.... would seem to be a pretty logical and desirable place... near UA, downtown, easy expressway access...
There's only 3-4 shops left plus two restaurants (the tavern in the basement and the one on the main level).I think they will be able to divide the shops from the hotel/dorm space and keep it running.I can remember crossing the tracks behind EJ to get there. I know there's a bridge on Mill that will probably be the main route for those students otherwise.
