Does anyone know if we will get new lightning with the renovation? Really hope we can turn lights on and off quick for introductions.
 
I've not read it anywhere but I think that is 1st on the list of have to haves, so much as been said about not being able to do special player introductions based on that.

Yeah for $87M I can't imagine that wouldn't be addressed.

I have heard, on good authority, that UC is "90% sure" they will play the 2017-2018 season at BB&T Arena. Won't go into much detail about the how so take it for what it's worth, but that's what I heard.

I'll go to a game or two there, but I'm not sure about doing another mini-plan. Is there anything to do around there pre/post game? It's also a little further. US Bank is a dump, but that was my preference.

Good. That's the direction it seemed to be trending. Much nicer place to watch a basketball game.
 
Not sure how I feel about it. US Bank is a dump, think everyone can agree on that, but it's downtown with stuff to do before/ after. Not sure how many students are willing to go to BB&T since it takes a drive to get there instead of a $5 Uber to US Bank.
 
Honestly I just hope no matter where we play, that we schedule a bunch of Home and Home's where the first game for us is a road game.

I would love to see big names return the home and home in our new Arena the following year.

I'd also like to see UC schedule most games at BB&T and then the larger games (like UCONN) be at US Bank.

Also, UC needs to offer free shuttle server over to the Arena for the college kids. That would get them more involved I would think

Yup, much more attractive to go pregame and celebrate in OTR or the banks and stay downtown at US Bank arena. Just ask the cyclones why people love going to those games. NKU will be tough, unless like Justin said there's free shuttles.
 
Parking and traffic was a nightmare going to NKU for a concert that maybe had 6,000 people at it. Literally sat idle in the garage for 25 minutes with the engine off in line on the ramp. Took over an hour to get from end of event back onto Alexandria pike. Weeknight games will be a no go for me if this isn't seriously addressed.
 
has there been any update on where we will play next year? im really hoping we decide to play at bank of ky arena i think we could fill that place and get it loud. We would prob have to give them a home n home or something. Really nice arena tho for those who have never seen it
