I can still hear the William Tell Robkin used to play. What a scene.

3 SEC regular season Championships in Basketball this century
This is easy. Back to back Elite eights > 3 Regular season SEC titles. Every school that has had success in basketball knows this. It seems like schools that have had success only in football seem to think these titles actually mean more than tourney success which is false. Basketball isn't like football in the since of winning conference titles. They are nice bragging rights but not winning one doesn't eliminate you from post season and winning a natty.

What are the most necessary renovations in yalls opinion? Never heard an Arkansas fan complain about the arena


Nothing is bad. I agree with whoever said renovate restrooms, and make the seats slightly bigger. Especially the lowest level close to the court, those seats have cupholders and they are smaller than the rest.

Overall it is still a good venue.

Disappointed if this is all it is, lipstick.

Concourses need to be gutted and expanded and the exterior needs a complete overhaul.

I think it looks ugly as shite and incredibly dated as if it hasn't been touched in 30 years. I much preferred the plans a few years ago with all glass exterior remodel.



This one



Now that is frickin' beautiful.

Yeah total dogshit, we've put out reno plans for a decade and then settle for this joke of an excuse of lipstick. No money for hoops I guess, new endzones for football and 5,000 reno's for baseball.

Yea.

Update the concourses. Renovate and change the main entrance. Renovate and overhaul The Hall of Champions. Suite additions should be last on the list.

Seat size is fine with me, but I like sitting in the padded seats that are higher than the retractable seats on the first 10-15 rows. Wouldn’t mind seat updates, but size is fine. Move student section.

It’s basically a condo on Dickson at that point.


I like it. Sleeper sofas, fireplace, shitter and shower. Throw in room service and a kegerator and I'm in. Maybe a shuttle to and from Dickson st.

Exterior is definitely lacking. First impression is big arse high school gym. An old one. We can do better than that rendition.

If it was me, I’d rip all the seating out and put in new, slightly wider chairs

It is good to keep up with a changing landscape.
