You people need to get out more. The PMAC is actually one of the nicer bball facilities out there. Go to some of the top basketball venues in the country and you'll be shocked at how run down they are compared to it.



I've been/worked at all of the SEC gyms aside from the Pavilion at OM. The only gyms in the SEC that are definitively worse than the PMAC are Memorial and Stegeman. That's taking into consideration locker rooms, media rooms, etc (total picture).

Even older places like The Hump, Coleman, etc. are spacious and have nicer fan amenities and are more comfortable than the PMAC. Again - I am not with the crew that wants to doze and start over, but we need a smart influx of cash right now to get up to snuff. Alot of the behind the scenes stuff (locker room, training room, practice gym, etc) is done, now we need to get into the main bowl.

There's gonna be a gigantic scoreboard installed before next season and attendance has been trending down so it's not like the AD doesn't give a shite about basketball.

But realistically, how soon are we expecting all of this new stuff?

I don't think fixing the PMAC would be that much of an issue. Start with the number of seats, do you really need 13,000 seats? Pull the seats out, make the seating arrangement sit a little more on top of the court, add some courtside seating, etc.

Fix the knee issue. It's very uncomfortable for someone like myself who is on the taller side. Nearly impossible to let someone get out of the row.

Have some premium seating, maybe the "premium" seats could be a little more spacious in terms of foot space and just the seats being wider in general. Cup holders obviously.

I'd also like to see them do something with the outdated doors in the concourse. Make it to where you can see the court from the concourse.
