It'll basically be the same Vines at this point, but with a flat floor and a new roof. There was supposed to be more done, but just about everything got canned. I think even the new locker rooms in the arena are going to be bare bones as well.

Well that’s kinda disappointing
I thought we had bags of cash [/quote]

Gotta save it for more important things like political “think tanks”.

Hopefully someone will get me a season ticket Friday.

Ballcoach, the Old Men's Club wants CASH on the barrel head; your credit is no good with them!

[thepostman]

Good call @Cider Jim

[ballcoach15]

Agreements have been signed.

Sounds like Ballcoach went to Western Union and sent TF a cash advance telegram for his basketball seaon tickets.

Let the debate continue!

Is Liberty Arena Too Small?

The new Liberty Arena should quickly become one of the toughest mid major venues to play in, and the atmosphere will certainly be electric and contagious. Make sure you’re a part of it.

[cruzan_flame13]

No, that is all .

[Jonathan Carone]

I would've preferred 4500-5000 because I think we'll grow into that with success, but I'm okay with 4000.

They can just build another arena for men's basketball once successful becomes more casual years from now. I say add a 5500-6000 seated arena on east, in the parking lot section by Doc's. Add a car garage in the same area for better parking options. Leave the Liberty Rena for wonens bball ,volleyball and wrestling.

[Cider Jim]

Has anyone looked at the seating map for the new arena? It looks like an exact 50-50 split between student seats on one side and townspeople (Baptist) seats on the other side. And teams' benches are on the townspeople side.

Considering the practice courts, lockerrooms, etc that they just built not too long ago. I'd think when the time was right, they'd just move MBB back to the Vines. Unless, of course anyone has any info on any renovations that they plan on doing inside the Vines?

I was told that they were planning on selling 2100 tickets to non-students and 2100 for the students. Should be a good place to play and a good home court advantage. I too wish they had seating for 6k, but.........................

[Cider Jim]

Doesn't that total 4,200? Where did we get the 200 extra seats? Or are those for standing room only?

[Chippy]

I think it's 1500 (season tickets) and 2500 students.

[thepostman]

That place is going to be so loud. I'm so excited about it.

I also had hoped for a venue closer to 5,000 but I am fine with 4,000. The place is going to be a beautiful venue.

[ballcoach15]

I wonder how many season tickets we have sold this morning ?

[Chippy]

I wonder how many season tickets we have sold this morning ?

For sure, 2.

+13=15

[Cider Jim]

I think the Old Men's Club bought 13 this morning at 9:00.

[thepostman]

I'd love to make the trip down for a game this year to check out the new arena but have a feeling tickets will be hard to come by.

[LUOrange]

I bought my 2 this morning, so we're at at-least 17. I even finally broke down and joined the Flames Club.
