Don't know if the numbers will back me up, but it looks like the best home crowd of the season. (And, no, I didn't drive over from Atlanta).

Looks like about 6.5 or 7k to me, which is plenty good enough. Nobody should have expected a sellout, especially with the women’s game being on a Monday and a shitload of our fanbase already committed to attending that one. We keep winning and each successive crowd will be bigger.

Maybe 5k max. 2/3 lower and 1/3 upper.

The Hump is in need of some major renovations...one of the 3 worst arenas in the conference with Coleman Coliseum and Maravich....which it is just a matter of time before those two are renovated and we will be the worst.... we could move concessions to outer wall, build suites, renovate restrooms, make first 9 rows on West Side (excluding courtside)and section behind baskets for Students..

The outer concourse needs to be renovated but on the inside, the hump is one of the best arenas in the conference. It's loud, comfortable, and there isn't a bad seat in the house.

I would disagree. The hump is fine but most of the other arenas in the conference are better. It has no premium seating. No boxes or club level. No banner screens to put ads and score updates. It really adds an asthetic to the arena that the Humo doesn’t have. You are right the concourse needs needs a complete remodel.

The Hump screams 90’s other than the video boards which are very nice. The Hump needs help and should be prioritized soon.

I'm completely ignorant on this but does Rupp or Cameron have box seats? I'd rather not displace potentially 1000 fans screaming from the rafters to placate 20 people drinking Michelob Ultra's and bullshitting with clients. I know it's a business and money has to be made, and I am so grateful to those very successful alumni that continue to improve our facilities every year but is box seats a big thing in college basketball?

Cameron indoor has bleachers that fold in like a high school gym. It is nothing special as arenas go, but they fill those 10 bleachered rows with students. No frills in Cameron.

Would we rather be an intimidating environment that loses a couple of thousand dollars a game, or one that gets every dime out of our opportunity and potentially cost us one or two games a year? It's the great conundrum. Honestly with less of a tax benefit for big donors it would make sense to maximize our win potential over our monetary potential at this moment in time.

The Hump is fine if you are a 50 year old male like me, aside from concessions which are awful...but if you are a student or young family with small kids it sux...bathrooms, amenities, student section etc....the Suites would hopefully move some of those $ people who have tickets but don't come to games to actually come to games and allow butts to occupy seats closer to the floor.... even today the lower level east side was around 50% occupied

The arena is fine but to Finance the upgrades in concourse

Club/box areas will be apart of any renovations. Didn’t we hire a firm to come up with a plan in last few years?

Jeez, you're

50?

So much for one getting wiser with age...

There is no feasible way to add club seats or boxes to the Hump without significantly reducing capacity, and even then it would basically be half *** if done within the existing infrastructure.

We need to put any money for a project like that away until it’s time for a new arena altogether, which is something that will need to be done in the next 20 years regardless.

Announced attendance was 7,775. Either it was a late arriving crowd, or your estimate was a bit off.
