What is capacity & could it be renovated?
Wiki says 6,756 current seating but 12,000 peak?
First number too small, 2nd number about right.

6400. And yes it needs some touch ups to host a basketball game.

I’m ready for something new. I hate the huge open air feeling of a big arena. I wish we would build a smaller gym for basketball only. Leave the PMAC for gymnastics and other things. Put the seats right on top of the floor, reduce the height of the ceiling, and reduce the capacity a couple thousand.

When it was being used prior to 1972, the configuration for basketball would seat 10,000. That included a lower section around the court with chairs set on risers. I would imagine the cost of the portable flooring, and to restore the seating arrangement to seat approximately 10,000 would be far to costly to be considered. The basketball arena didn't have A/C back then either, not sure about now. Although at this time of the year I'm not sure it's needed.
