I don't see the value personally of the club seats and all that, but the stuff sells. All that stuff about revenue generation in the long term is what they are focused on.

Other Arenas have better green rooms and bunker suites . . . so we have to keep up. They have better control rooms . . . so we have to keep up. Etc.

That sort of of stuff is not just about basketball. It's about getting more Kid Rock and Madonna shows. It's about getting big events like the Final Four going into the future.

While I personally don't care about these things, it's clear others do.

Will NEVER be played at NOLA Arena. I was in the noise bleeds at the Dome last year and I could still see fine.
