I hate the idea of a 17k seat arena, tarped off for 10k for hoops. I understand the loss of the Erwin Center and for other events, yada yada. But still.
Ya it's going to be a mess. I'm surprised that Del Conte is going forward with that given his focus on fan experience & home field advantage. But it's hard to turn down what is essentially a free stadium.
ATX has plenty of money to have someone build their own, maybe up near the Domain.
Having a venue that is events first and basketball second is going to hurt the basketball program.
