New basketball arena?


Aug 19, 2013, 11:24 AM

Didn't see this mentioned on the forum or on the front page.. Looking like it will be across from ESSO, named after a major donor, and Littlejohn will remain in tact for other purposes

Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

I see absolutely nothing wrong with Littlejohn.

Did you say the same thing when the decision was made....


Aug 19, 2013, 1:00 PM

to renovate Death Valley even though, at the time, it was one of the top stadiums in the conference?

Does anything jump out at you concerning your comparison?

Comparing Kentucky and Michigan State basketball to Clemson basketball?

when comparing arenas nothing other than the capacity

which we can't fill consistently anyway.

I'm saying the arena upgrades won't make the team win.

Re: I would be nothing at the present time. We can't fill

Littlejohn. SC built a large one to seat 15 to 17 K . They can't get 3K to come.

That will be a good spot. Although i don't like taking down the trees that make the campus so beautiful at least its in a rather unusable spot for anything else and it doesn't take up football parking.

because it is all rumor and conjecture


Aug 19, 2013, 11:55 AM

you can't take this seriously, because it is on some fan website.

While the Athl Dept would LIKE to build a new arena, this is far from settled, esp. with the BOT.

The foul lines are bad - prevent us from being able.....


Aug 19, 2013, 11:59 AM

to sink 28% of our foul shots on average.

I can understand updating the player's facilities for recruiting purposes, and of course shiny new toys/buildings are always fun to have, but when I went to games as a student (2007-2012) I always had a great time and didn't notice any issues with LJ

Whatever you do, always give 100%.....unless it's donating blood


Oh yay, concerts would still be in LJ


Aug 19, 2013, 12:41 PM

Not sure why, but they always sound tinny and awful every time I've gone to one at LJ. Most recently, that Band of Horses concert didn't do justice to what they sound like in a better venue.

I thought it fills the purpose of a basketball arena just fine, though. Not really a bad seat in the house and plenty loud when we feel like making noise.

problem w/ new basketball arena is that the basketball program can't sustain the debt.... football will have to be a cosigner and it will probably bleed football of more of their revenues. Plans for the Oculus are being sent to Mayflower in Greenville for long term storage.

Does a new basketball program come with the new arena?
