    There has to be some other reason.
    All I was told is that it's a new conference thing. So maybe it's a problem at other AAC arenas. The problem is those bottles don't exactly fit in the cup holders very well. Between that and the open cups of beer spillage will probably be up this year. Between that and the prices I can probably do without for the duration of a game or match.

    Perhaps that answers the question about whether the AAC referees are any better than those that work the Valley.

    • YOU HAVE CUP HOLDERS?

      Comment


      • I have wondered why they can't sell "souvenir" shocker cups like they used to in the 70's and 80's The actual cost was not great but they used to make great cups to use at home for parties and such. Everyone took them home after the game and those that didn't kids would scavenge them after the game. I want my Wu Shocker collectors cups back

          They did a couple of years ago. Real neat looking with FVV, Baker, and some other stuff on them. Have like 10 in my cupboard.

          EDIT: I do wonder why they don't do it every year though. I've stopped trying to figure out the thought processes of our scatter brain athletic department, who for reasons unknown to the rational don't seem to realize they should repeat and continue things the fans like.

            Yes, but they don't fit any of the drinks I've ever bought at CKA. Put a bottled soft drink in them and it falls right out. You would think that someone buying (or selling) cup holders might check if they would actually hold the beverages sold at the venue.
            The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
            We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.

              I remember those I was thinking of the yellow 16 0z with the Wu Shock and Wichita State on them.

                He doesn't realize it, but mentioning the presence of cupholders at your seats in Koch is a SASO level humble brag.

                No cupholders in my proletariat seats, 1972. Lol!

                  It's the other way around. The concessions should sell beverages in containers that fit the cupholder. Much cheaper to change the cup than the cup holder -- and the cups seem to change frequently along with the price.

                    Least common denominator thinking yet again. Inconvenience 10k people because of the chance 1 knucklehead gets feisty. Awesome!

                      .....but, statistically speaking, you miss 99% of the shots you do take.

                          At Volleyball matches where I can sit where there are cupholders if I so desire. But @Aargh: is right they are cupholders in name only.

                            I have Volleyball season tickets and Women's basketball season tickets where I have access to cupholders (if I want them). Believe me no one would be envious of my SASO point total.

                            • Charles Koch Arena, Home of Devlin Court received a new paint job in September 2017 with the move to a new conference, the American Athletic Conference. Fans...



                              This has been wearing on me for a while. I love the new court and all the upgrades to CKA but something has been bothering me....The fact that all they did was paint over The Valley logo. If you take the paint off the logo would still be there. I wish they would have sanded it away so we could start fresh.

                              • They should have peeled off the MVC logos and used it for toilet paper.
