AND I say that as someone who is a fan of it (and who has been attending games there since the 1986-87 season [Antoine Joubert's, Garde Thompson's Senior years for the Old-timers on here :.) + ;.)]). What they should then do is temporarily play the Basketball games at Yost until a new Basketball Arena is built (this is not unprecedented in terms of Basketball and Hockey teams playing their games in the same venue [Ohio State does this currently, for example, as well as Wisconsin] to name a couple). This will “build up the demand” (especially if they start doing well and/or overacheiving sooner rather than later), easily to be at maximum capacity, creat a true sense of excitement, anticpation, etc. etc.. If anybody is curious, I can even tell you how big (i.e. the Seating Capacity) should be and what it would be (more or less) named. *Musket Rebellion* — I do agree that the Practice Facility should come first before any modifications/revampments/complete Guttings (of Crisler Arena) would occur. I can speak more but I don’t want to get on my soapbox (and therefore get emotional, upset, enraged, agitated, frustrated, pissed off, disgusted and, in short, stressed [out]). TAKE ME WORD FOR IT (e.g. on the latter)!!!! Peace.

Seriously though, I do have very good reason to believe this timetable is the truth.

Hopefully an overhaul of the concourse is in the near future.
