Like an overhaul to make it more fan friendly, new weight room would also be good maybe some lower new seats (movie style). New Concessions (Full Moon Barbeque). And removable and removable seats any way to put some box seating in that Arena. For you know some of the Big Guys maybe not. See, I really like all those new football facilities, But this is a Basketball team School first. So, We need some upgrades to keep pace to keep all those basketball donors jumping. (Or just a total rebuild of the Arena) What's Next the sky is the limit.

How much do you think playing in those tournaments cost?

Are you personally asking me? Well Travel and Board and Food. To Start - And to slip a few fans in their with the cost it adds up pretty quick - Revenue made(From the tournament) - tax deductions - with expenses added most of the time the cost is paid first - back any profits. A couple hundred thousand would be a good, Start. (If any Hotel and Restaurant adcentives are given - well its a all new story)
