If we beat OHIO...

It would appear the game is two days before Disney anyway...?

Disney's first date at the PCC is the 27th I believe.

PCC website says the 28th

The most realistic posibility to host the 3rd round of the CBI in or near Peoria would be the U.S. Cellular Coliseum (apx. cap. 6,000) in Bloomington. There does not appear to be anything scheduled in the arena on the 26th.

The Bloomington Arena does not have a basketball team of any type as a tenant but has hosted a high school basketball tournament there. Which leads me to believe they have the ability, floor, goals to do a basketball set up.

U.S. Cellular Coliseum has been strugling financialy so I am sure they would be delilghted to have a paying customer come into the building. Question is how much would they charge for rent, and would Bradley Fans travel the 40 miles to watch our beloved Braves take on Utah or Tulsa?

Bradley really should do everything in their power if it is financially feasable to broker a deal with this arena. Yeah, so it is half the size of Carver but at 6,000 it is only a K smaller than Drake or UNI's home court. Besides I think it would be fun to watch Bradley play in Downtown Bloomington as the Home Team (kinda like we are crashing ISU's NIT party)

I don't think there is any scenario that would end up with BU playing a so called home game in any Bloomington Arena. This is why you do everything in your power to have your own University owned arena. Plus in my opinion, I'm dissappointed in the PCC for not accomodating Bradley on a night when nothing else is scheduled. There is no reason that the Arena could not be converted in 20 hours. That's rediculous, especially when BU is the main tenant of the Arena, along with the Riverman.

I heard on the radio today that Disney is 27-30th... New shows added. Still, if that's the case and our game would be on the 26th, my guy who works at PCC said this wouldn't be a problem. Only thing is if a game directly conflicted with another event.

Here's the kicker: We're talking about High School Musical. This is THE biggest name and show among the youth, especially girls.

If Disney comes to PCC and demands they keep the day before open for setup, the PCC is going to listen and keep Bradley out. Whether it's justified or not. High School Musical is that big a deal.
