seats behind both baskets for HL games?

Mr Labarbara:

Thank you for answering the questions posed on this forum.

My question concerns additional seating for next year's HL home basketball games. Will additional seating be added at the lower level of the ARC so that seats/bleachers are located behind both baskets?

If additional seats are not contemplated at this time, would you be able to let us know what factors would first need to be met by the University in order to add them?

Thank you again.

We have no plans to add seats in the east end at this point. We would need to have more of the mezzanine filled on a regular basis before we would look to add seats.

We will revisit the issue once we have a better idea of what attendance looks like in the coming season.

Mr Labarbara:

Now that the basketball seasons are over and the attendance figures are in, do you feel that the addition of permanent seats behind both baskets is now warranted at this time? I am just curious.

Also, I would like to thank the AD office and whomever else was responsible for putting the temporary seats behind the empty basket for the nationally televised games. It really made a difference in terms of making the ARC look like more of an arena watching on TV, IMO.

Thank you again.

We will likely add bleachers behind the east basket for certain games. Because the ARC is also used for intramurals it is not really possible to leave them there for the entire season.
