as the official UVA honk on the board i wanted to show everyone the new arena which opens august 1. it is a 15,000 seat basketball arena and 16,000 for other events. they are getting some top entertainment acts as well that richmond and roanoke will probably never get. the arena also has 20 luxury suites and 1 1/2 practice courts. im looking fwd to seeing some hoops this winter in this great facility and hopefuuly coach letiao will continue to improve the program and bring some championship hoops back to charlottesville. lets hope one day LU will have a facility just as nice.

That's pretty sweet. Perhaps they'llbe able to fill it someday for something other than the Dave Matthews Band.

I don't think they will be filling it from a season ticket holders stand point... unless you got an extra $100,000 in your pocket!!!! Although I will say that JPJ is one heck of an arena... Can't wait to see Monday night RAW on August the 14th up there...

Dude, are you going to Raw? How much are tickets?


And excuse the cliche'd internet lingo here but OAR >>> DMB.

Do a spot for the radio show (interview Shawn Michaels or something) and get free tickets. That's the way to go.

The BIG question about JPJ is will they be allowed to serve the Zima, there?

When I lived at the beach I listened to the Herd everyday. I can't pick up ESPN radio in Lynchburg worth crap.

I already have free tickets and I am working on interviews with DX, Hogan, and Randy Orton... Go to Johnpauljonesarena.com and you can buy tickets there I believe the only tickets they have left are the $40 ones....

if you're going w/ Satellite, I'd definitely recommend Sirius over XM. Not only do you get the NFL, Nascar comes next year, and I believe the British Premier league is there- though I've not been able to listen to those games.

There are approx 4 or 5 ESPN channels, incl ESPN news, every major news media, incl FOX news, 4 comedy channels and any kind of music you want. Oh, and then there's "OUT-Q" for Brokeback and his friends.

If I got satellite it'd be Sirius. A friend of mine was gonna sell me her receiver but I didn't have the money at the time. How much do they run?

I will say that I've had the opportunity to hear XM because I have DirecTv and they recently added it in lieu of the music channels we had, but I prefer the OVERALL lineup Sirius offers, music AND talk included :wink:
