This thread has gone on entirely too long without someone mentioning putting in a lazy river...

Too small for a really good lazy river. Better idea is one section of the student section is just a giant ball pit.  You'd have to have netting though or else those rascals would throw the ball pit balls on the court!

You could put a lazy river on the new second tier, kind of like the track at the rec above the basketball courts

Not if we just add on to the one that will go around the football field!

We should raise the roof and add a second tier of VIP boxes, restaurant/bar and open glass on the side looking over BSFS. ITs a space frame should be too hard to hydralulicly lift it and stretch those columns up.

why not just add a glass second floor above the court and then you could walk around with your wine and cheese and watch a basketball game from above.  it would be like skycam view.

idea:  do a pop up video type thing like on VH1 on the video board but instead of a music video, do it with the players.  would be amazing.

OT:  did anyone measure the dB during the game against the HAWKS?


Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

New warning: Don't get in a fight with someone who doesn't even need to bother to buy ink.

i'm pretty sure some one on this board does something called "audiology."  i imagine he would be a tremendous person to judge the dBs in the sunflower showdown edition of the Octagon of NOISE.

We could play games at both and not tell the opponent which one the game is at on any given night.

We would have a 50% chance of winning before it even started!  :emawkid:

To late to move back to Ahearn now, but before BTF, I was pretty much for it provided 10's of millions of dollars of things happened.

Ahearn is a POS, why do people not realize this? "Tradition" or "nostalgia" aren't worth the money it would take to even get it up to "slightly crappy" level.

I was actually pretty serious about lifting the roof and getting a second level in there. Think it could be done, and we could get rid of those very touchdown clubesque boxes we have now and get some real VIP stuff with bars and lounges.
