I think we'll look better on TV now than the Costco Centre.

Wish they would have taken ribbon behind those missing sections though.

IMO The Ted has always looked better on TV than the Seagull Ctr. Especially when they show the crowds in the stands.

Agreed. The Ted is an NBA arena without the cheap seats. VCU's stadium is the opposite.

I completely missed this one. I expected to see Steve Sakis standing behind the bar with a big handle bar mustache and a draft beer with my name on it.

Steve recently got out of the hospital, but he is much better. AND...he has no mustache anymore!

Guys, it looks like a Costco when they pan around, no doubt. But when the cameras are focused on the court, it does look good on ESPN HD. It's due to their video boards along the scorers table. We've always had those cheesy paper scroll boards. So happy we've got the 21st century technology and look to blow their craphole away.

I think he is looking great. There is some high mileage but still a great buy!!!!!!!

Wow, I never would have recognized him. He does look great. Steve helped me out big time when I chaired the first KA Seafood Feast at what used to be Powhatan Field back in the day. Glad to see he is out of the hospital and recovering!

is the Ted expandable? or is it limited to 8000 seats?

you might be able to add a row or two of seats at the top of the student section end but there's not a whole lot of room.
