I wish they would just let it go, playing a mens home game in a 4200 seat arena is sill :winky!

just curious -- how many seats are available for non-student seating at Duke's Cameron Arena which has a capacity of 9314?
..only about 7000...

I agree. It would just plain be silly. I see a big train wreck coming and it will not be pretty. $$$$$

Linky no worky......but I agree Mike, IF BU is trying to use the arena as a bargaining tool....forgetaboutit.....your just going to tick of the PCC AND 6,000 fans that are left out in the cold.

My opinion on this is Bradley is using this as a negotiating point to get more sat. night dates because last year the Riverman seemed to get most of the sat. night dates, BU basketball games on sat. night use to be the place to be in Peoria plus the crowds are larger on sat. nights.
If Bradley does play any reg. season or post-season games in the 4200 on campus site they will be making a huge mistake if regular season ticket holders are left out of this building.

I have asked this before and can't recall if it was ever answered.

BU doesn't seem to use the Video board for instant replays DURING the game. You know....a percieved bad call by the 10K assistant refs ...a timeout called, then show the replay 5,6,7 times confirming WE were correct and whip the crowd into a frenzy.

Is it not allowed by the NCAA? Have we not had the capability/quality to do it before?

Is it just something we (PCC) has dropped the ball on...

BU chose to play a few games on Sunday for more quality refs.....HUGE mistake IMO. Sunday games %$#$....PERIOD. THats the day I like to go buy a car.....


Either way you (BU) would have NO leverage to gain more home dates by saying we'll play to half the fanbase if you (PCC) don't meet our demands. THAT would be ludicrous.

[Future Walk-On]

I don't mind because I'll just stay a student for the rest of my life and get tickets.

According to this press release, they will be playing "all potential home games in campus-site postseason tournaments on campus".
