There are 11 division 1 programs in Tennessee. They all have arenas that seat at least 9k except us, UT Martin (a school of 6k students), Lipscomb (small private) and Belmont (small private). An arena of 8k is not unrealistic and is warranted.

And we have an *on-campus* 12,000+ seat arena. I know, I know.....just sayin'. I'm not opposed to a new arena, but my sense is that the tree you're trying to climb is just the wrong one at this time.

It's not 12k anymore, at least according to the state. If they ever build a new arena they should tear the dome down and build it there just so no one has to hear about not using it anymore (it's not just you, it gets brought up a lot).

When is the right time to plan one? Is it in 5-10 years when Noland has left to maybe go into politics and we get another Stanton type president?
