UAlbany Seeking Bid For Physical Education Building Renovation
UAlbany Seeking Bid For Physical Education Building Renovation
Guaranteed...and thank you.Will this get done before UVM's? Prolly. LOL. Congrats Albany!
It's the size most schools at our level are doing now...but capacity without SRO (can go another 500-800 realistically) is just under 3800.Is 3,501 the capacity for basketball games then? If so, seems a little light.
Either way, look forward to checking it up when complete.
4,500 would have been my number. However, going almost exclusively chairbacks takes up space. The current capacity is 4500 but is primarily bleacher seating. Additionally, The phase 3 annex building potentially could allow for luxury box seating and a club deck which would add more capacity.Just seems strange to me because I feel like back before The Scandal decimated the program, Binghamton was averaging 3.5K a game and for big games was over 4K.
Obviously, Binghamton was leading the AE attendance back then, but still, the prospect of Vermont hosting a championship game with barely over 3K seems small. I think Binghamton had over 5K when they hosted UMBC for the title game.
Honestly, UNH could easily move into the Whittemore Center.I am fairly certain UNH will announce and complete and upgrade before Vermont completed their already announced upgrade
That was kind of my point. They are possibly the school that hasn't recently or doesn't plan to remodel that is furthest from doing so. I just get a bad feeling that at the very least the scope of the basketball related renovation will be scaled back pretty heavily if it happens at all.Honestly, UNH could easily move into the Whittemore Center.
That was also 12-15 years ago. Mid-major basketball attendance numbers have taken a nosedive across the board, as has attendance for pretty much all sporting events outside of things like the Super Bowl.Just seems strange to me because I feel like back before The Scandal decimated the program, Binghamton was averaging 3.5K a game and for big games was over 4K.
