Would you give to ETSU and how much?

It depends on how much I won. I would love to give ETSU enough money for a new basketball arena. However, I would have to give them the entire amount so they could build the facility by themselves without partnering with the city.

Probably would need around 60 million for a good arena which is doable with this lottery. Please someone win! FYI NKU's arena cost 64 million in 2008. So you'd probably need more than that if you want a place that is similar.

Complete all football stadium phases and build a new basketball arena.

A curling arena.

Build a new arena for sure. Also I would purchase a 100 year supply of urinal cakes for the new bathrooms shaped like Dave Mullins' face.

I would actually love that. It is one of my favorite winter Olympic sports and it would be cool to see them find a place in the Dome to practice curling as another sport to train Olympians.

I want naming rights of a building or the court of the basketball arena to be the "QueenLadybug Court". I'll donate whatever that takes.

I'd probably also have each coach give me a wish list and get as much of that as I can.

As long as they sell the demon rum for the spectators.

I would have to have them make a giant statue you walk under to get to the arena but yes I would give. lol

If you give enough money, you can do ANYTHING.

I'd have a full bronze Lane Kiffen statue installed in front of Neyland.

If we keep getting 2,500-3,000 fans at Freedom Hall, the program doesn't deserve a better arena.

We will NEVER fill up the upper sections of Freedom Hall, except for the UT game next season. You could give those tickets away, and it would still be better experience to watch the live stream. Filling up the lower section with 200-300 fans in the upper deck is our attendance ceiling in that facility

I could see if we got ranked or maybe playing Chattanooga, but besides that only Tennessee and big opponents would fill Freedom Hall.

During the UNCG game, there were quite a few people in the upper deck. I think as we start to win more, people WILL sit up there. It's no worse than sitting higher up in the dome.

Or way out on the ends of the dome like I saw people doing in 2004

Actually it is, the upper deck is just bad, maybe the new sound system will help but it is like it to far back because of the concourse and the rail, was up there for one game last year and it sucked big time.

That's your opinion. I disagree. I did my fair share of sitting up high in the dome. To me, it's not worse.

I would much rather be anywhere in the Dome than the upper level of Freedom Hall. It has little to do with the distance to the court, you just feel so isolated up there.

Its not our opinions who matter, it is the less dedicated fan who does not have season tickets and show up for a single game. There arent as many of those fans as we want, and they wont pay consistently for that experience, in my opinion
