As a many year season ticket holder, the venue at the Shott is horrible for basketball. The arena is too large, most seats are too far away, so that doesn't foster a competitive environment. Next, the season ticket holders pay a premium for such. Then "anyone" is offered promotional ticket prices along with food and other perks. Sure doesn't make me want to keep ordering tickets and paying more! When students got to sit courtside behind the bench was the best change made. However this element of price and 3-4 game blocks is counter intuitive. Students should get the lowest cost possible, available when they want that can be downloaded up until a specified time, then the balance sold to "regular" people. Try to fix this. We don't need a Greg Oden or Sully to fill the place if the environment is made for basketball and prices are reasonable. How about remodeling St John Arena for basketball and turning the Shott over to all other sports??? At least it isn't being torn down. We have been and could again be a "Basketball" school.
