New series with Baylor

[WheatShock]

Maybe. Though some of the bigger recent games in CKA still don't have the same feel. The Arena just has that bigger feel (because it is bigger). Walking the concourses, the fact that there is alcohol. It's just a different feel.

My favorite part of the IBA games is being able to have a beer or two during the game.

I have often wondered how much revenue WSU is missing out on by not selling beer at CKA.

[ShockTalk]

If they have to do this, will it open up the discussion of expanding CKA to allow for more seating? Or a permanent move to IBA if demand remains high.

I'd hate to abandon our wonderful campus for basketball games, but playing downtown at IBA is kinda fun.

They would need to do something about the arena license tickets, or what ever you call it, if they're going to do more than 1 game a year or start making a number of home games at IBA. Those are people that are supporting the arena, not WSU. I'm sure many also do support WSU, but does WSU get as much revenue from those seats as they would if they were sold first to the WSU season ticketholders?

Yes, I'm complaining about that 1st year fiasco. Our seating at CKA is near the top of the lower bowl across from the end line. That first game at IBA, we were placed in the upper bowl, half to 2/3s rows up in that section with only a slightly better angle. Yea, after 30+ years of support to WSU, I was a little peeved.

This is exactly why I prefer the games at UCONN's XL Center vs on-campus at Gampel (in addition to being a closer commute). Cheers!

My least favorite part about games at IBA is the legroom... You're in trouble if you are over 5'5.

Not if you stand for the whole game.

Unless the guy standing in front of you is 6-5

PARKING, don't forget parking or lack thereof.

I'm F'd either way in this situation. :hopelessness:

Every place I have sat in IBA has more leg room than my row at CKA.

[shoxilla]

Mizzou would certainly be one of the most likely. Gregg seemed to have a good relationship with Cuonzo given he brought Tennessee here.

that would be cool to match up the 2 league's non-football members

There is a big difference in leg room at CKA between the lower-bowl seating (especially the sections between the baselines) and the chairback seating in the upper bowl. OTOH, those seats don't have as much rise so if you are shorter and have taller fans in front of you it can be a bit of a challenge as well. But most of us figure it out and make it work.

Don't tell the season ticket holders cause they will most likely be crying like little kids but I've now heard Marshall and Boatright say they might need to play more games in Intrust with the demand for tickets.

To be fair, the season ticket holders provide a lot of dough to the department. They have a little say in the game. Cracking on them and their $$$ probably isn't a wise idea.

Yes they do and I'm glad they are able to do that. On the same note not everyone is able to afford season tickets led alone the saso donation. So a game or even two that gives those fans a chance to see them live isn't a bad thing. But I've read plenty of grumblings from the season ticket folks on playing and seating at intrust.

I'm an out of towner so I don't have that much game financially in the system but support them as best I can from affar.
