I know it was said student seating would be behind the basket, but in this picture it looks to be on the baseline behind the scorers table.

Also anyone notice in that picture we are beating the crap out of Michigan

I forgot to say there was a video board. I am almost positive it is opposite the students.

As far as the side seating- I know that of course, one side is the score and teams. The other side moves the Press down to coutside. So I do not know what has been determined regarding seating directly behind the teams and Press. It is first and foremost the opposite of the Schott- BG WANTS noise and fans on top of the game.

Oh- it goes without saying (so I will say it) LOTS more restrooms

and concession areas!

The practice court "Champions Court" reminds me of the one at the Q. You can have a reception in there, or practice. I've done the recepting...we'll let our champions practice!

I'd rather they have put Toledo on there. And do we really need all those banners of Marc Larson over the court?

I like it. It looks and has the feel of Anderson Arena, especially with the windows to the east.

It looks better in all ways than the renovated cave up at UT. That said, I think the Sebo Center, the forthcoming Wolf Center, and the Stroh Center are all of a design style I think looks like a**. But since there isn't anything to be done with it, I'm working through the revulsion phase as quickly as I can. You can't make things look better without money, and we are lucky to have what we are getting.

Now for the Ice Arena.....

First of all, this looks amazing and I can't wait to come back here after I graduate to attend the first game there. But how come they aren't having any boxes/suites at all? I would think that having just 3 or 4 would be a great opportunity to make money and improve the looks of the stadium. Even the University of Findlay has a suite in their little gym and it has already sold out for the season. Trust me, that is the ONLY complaint I have with the Stroh, but I still think that we should have put a few in there.

This is truly going to be an awesome facility. Shame my time here as a student will be done, but regardless, can't wait to see this place.

Um... why are there images of a foam talon, bottle koozie, wall clock and BGSU pillow in that picture? lol

It's like I'm playing one of those "find the items in the picture" game.

There will be a "gathering" place behind the Club seats for concessions and refreshments and socializing. So selling the club seats would be where I would see $$ opportunitues...they just have to gather with more Falcon Friends!

I'm just glad they changed the MAC logo in the key. The way it is currently done looks AWFUL.

I love the Michigan reference...You think Greg Christopher is on here a little too much and seeing our Michigan jokes and did that for us????

I agree, I also hate the way that you can tell its a big sticker and doesn't blend in with the floor. When I went to Kent for vball last month they had the new MAC logo on the floor and it looked good, blending in just like the lines and main logo at center court does, it was also a little smaller then ours and not right there at the foul line, it was about halfway between the foul line and the middle of the lane

Those photos, particularly in hi rez, juiced me up. I would like to see students along a half court rather than just the base line. It looks like students are behind the benches-scorers table which is okay, but its no Anderson. I love the killer Falcon outside the building too.

How do I get tickets for the last game at Anderson and the first at The Stroh??? Who do I need to write the check too?
