If I was a player I’d hate it. Floor and benches are 15 feet from the start of the bleachers and behind the goals is just dead air. Would suck to shoot at I’d imagine.

As a fan it’s a nice place. Plenty parking and you never have to lose sight of the game cause concession stands and bathrooms are just upstairs around the bleachers so that’s nice.

One thing that confuses me is why they didn’t allow for the VIP area like they do the regional. The regional tournament has seats all the way around the floor on portable podiums for VIP members. Maybe the all a didn’t want the extra income of having a VIP room? But that’s the major issue. The arena is a nice place for a basketball event IF ITS RAN RIGHT. The games i went to yesterday were all but that. Also the media area is not even close to what it is at the region, and there’s hardly any sponsors. I would say this is on the event coordinator more than the venue itself, because i’ve been the every region there for years and it’s 100 times better.

Maybe it was because of late notice. Cause i believe the games were suppose to be at EKU but they said their floor is being done so then they had to start reaching out to venues.
