Amount of activity has nothing to do with it. I don't think anyone was bitching and moaning either. As I said, easy to see how the thread got there...but after a couple days it's time to get back on topic or start a seperate thread. The reason is to keep things organized so people know what they're going to read about when they click on a thread. Pretty straight forward.
 
really? do you want people to create an "is oscar robertson poor?" thread and use it for 3 pages? things die out and circle back to the title topic - what's the big deal?

You are the one who is making it a big deal.

Do you have anything to say about the arena? If not, then please move on. There is a thread titled 'Former Bearcats'...ongoing conversations about former players can be moved over there.

Did I miss something? I thought we would only miss one season on campus. This says two seasons. Has it always been two seasons?

Yeah that's surprising to me too. Maybe the fall sports will have to miss 2 seasons but the winter sports will only miss 1?

Woah!!! What!!! I missed that, but you're right - it says we'll play the 2017 & 2018 season off campus. That's never been part of the renovation plan that I'm aware of. It was always to play this season at 5/3rd - play at a to-be-determined off campus location for the 2017 season and come back to the renovated 5/3rd arena for the 2018 season.

It does say the construction is supposed to be complete in the fall of 2018, I'm assuming the plan remains to play at the new 5/3rd for the 2018-19 season and that this article is in error.

I certainly hope so.
 
That last photo showing the court and the lower bowl is the best aspect of this renovation I think. In my opinion, it looks so much better and will give the arena a more intimate feel.

Totally agree with you. Does anyone know if the student section will be affected with the renovation? Are they moving location or generally staying in the same area? Will they still have roughly the same amount of seats?

I have no inside information just guessing from what I can see in the photos it looks like the student section will stay behind the baskets. Maybe lose a few seats?
