Isn't that still smaller then old W-R? Guess they could bring in some folding chairs and bring it back up to 8,000.Scroll down to the end. So much for all that hand-wringing, eh?

They could put up a big screen on the North outside wall of WRA and seat people in Rocky Miller Park.......Isn't that still smaller then old W-R? Guess they could bring in some folding chairs and bring it back up to 8,000.
Was it with Morty?Didn't I have a bet with someone that capacity would be over 7,000?
Or we could continue finding things to complain about. Right on character.
Maybe. How many does it seat?They could put up a big screen on the North outside wall of WRA and seat people in Rocky Miller Park.......
Wait until next season, after the Cats make it to the final 4 and the additional five or ten thousand new fans start complaining because they can's get into the new, smaller W-R.Or we could continue finding things to complain about. Right on character.

You sure like to tell people how to spend their money. Thanks but I don't need or want your advice.Pay up.
Hope your right but still feel that an under 10,000 seat arena is to small for a power 5/Big Ten school.Willy, despite your reluctance, I'm tellin' ya, you're gonna love the new place.
Duke didn't get the memo....Cameron Indoor is <10,000 seats. Blue Devils seem to do OK despite the small arena......Hope your right but still feel that an under 10,000 seat arena is to small for a power 5/Big Ten school.

you just don't get it, do you?Then stop complaining about things that could easily be solved by paying up.

At no point in the modern history (let's call it the "TV era") of college hoops has there ever been enough demand to justify the added expense of building a 10,000+ arena for Northwestern basketball. That's just a fact.you just don't get it, do you?
While all of that may be true, NU used to draw many crowds of close to 10,000 in McGaw Hall. Was at a game back in the 1957 when NU hosted Kansas and some guy known as "Wilt the Stilt" before a standing room only crowd of about 10,000 and I still have the program. They also played home games against Kentucky and ND in front of crowds close to that size. I know, I know that was before almost every game was televised but just saying, those kind of crowds did happen. Guess you consider it odd that DePaul just built a new 10,000 seat arena but someone must of thought it was a good idea. Guess if they consistently fill W-R and their his lots of hype and demand for more tickets, they could move some games to UC or that new DePaul place..At no point in the modern history (let's call it the "TV era") of college hoops has there ever been enough demand to justify the added expense of building a 10,000+ arena for Northwestern basketball.

Hell, there wasn't even enough demand to consistently sell out WR at 8,000 capacity last year (aka the best year of Northwestern basketball in the TV era).
Why in the world would NU undergo the headache and cost of constructing a 10,000+ arena (in Evanston of all of places???) to have it be 75% full AT BEST?
And if, by some astounding miracle, NU hoops starts driving enough demand to where a 7,000 seat arena is consistently being sold out and full of purple-clad fans to where people are actually being priced out, then many, many, many good things would have preceded that and i don't think any of us would be complaining.

General seating is 5,950, basically 6,000 exactly. They allowed 250 for handicap, 750 for students, and 250 for luge attendance. So total seating is just over 7,000. But it's fire marshall approved for 8,000.Scroll down to the end. So much for all that hand-wringing, eh?

The definitions of what 8,000 means is beyond me but dont get hung up on cold hard numbers because it most certainly would involve standing room only.
Yes, sro. Because ALL tickets will be spoken for with all seats sold through the jointhecats. Any cheap boosters like willycat will be left out.
