A "Smaller and More Intimate" Basketball Arena

[longhorn_mig]

It's just one sentence, but I'll take it. Please let the dream come true of a smaller, fuller arena...

The Erwin Center replacement will be “smaller and more intimate” than the current arena, which seats 16, 734. Concourses are meant to “put the fan experience front and center."

Nothing worse than a 1/2 to 2/3rds full arena. . . 

Think this will boost both the perception and actually game experience.

Please make the new basketball arena more friendly to and increased exposure to UT students.   Consider making the first 10 rows all around the arena for students. The blue/gray hairs will still have very cushy and excellent seats in order to watch the games.  By the way, I am an alumnus of UT and am a blue/gray hair.  We need the energy and support of our student body.  The environment needs to be electrified.
