I believe Bradley could sell out a larger arena one some games and the school and team could use the revenue. I also believe the problems they've had over the years with the slippery floor (on warmer more humid days) has made Carver one of the worst arenas in the valley. Unless they can correct this problem along with some others they will always be 2nd rate. As for the fans, I agree the Bradley fans are awesome but I believe they can be more so in a improved venue...

I have to agree that the slippery floor is a bad part of Carver. If we could get rid of the ice and the boxing matches, I mean hockey games, played somewhere else it would help.What part of illegal don't you understand?Comment

I don't think Carver is too bad (except maybe for that wet floor), but I also don't think it's ideal. Ideally, I'd like a stadium that seats a bit more that would qualify it for NCAA events, which was purpose-built for basketball and which was closer to or actually on campus.Comment

In addition to the lower bowl seats were butchered by that Italian firm, the hallways being too narrow, and the bad restrooms, I forgot about the foor and the ice. But do not confuse a bad facility with the atmosphere and the fans. Complete opposites.

I still say the new additions should have included an area for hockey only seating about 5,ooo that could be used for other things in the off season then gut and refigure the arena for basketball only.......i know BIG dreams.Comment

I never got to experience a game at the Fieldhouse, and I'm sure it was amazing, but I love going to Carver. Granted I don't have to deal with the packed in seats and I don't have the money to spend on concessions but I love being in the front row of the student section.Once A Brave ...

Sometimes Hoops feels like a dungeon ... especially when they've got one waitress catering to the whole of the BU fan base and you can't get a beer to save your life ...Originally posted by thefish7And the Dungeon!

I have always liked the smaller, more intimate college arenas. Creightons looks nice, though i have not been there, but I love the arenas like Cameron Indoor, Marylands Cole Fieldhouse and NC States old Reynolds Coliseum over the new, huge arenasReturn to GloryComment
