    Well, even that makes the Panther Arena a more valuable asset than I'd considered.

    I just wish there was a way to reduce the seating capacity so it didn't have to look so damn empty for most...

    That's the other thing about using a lozengy... it really only works for soccer, where Milwaukee has a long-standing German soccer link (Bavarians, which has sent many players to UWM). Perhaps if...

    I'm as big a Milwaukee history buff as anyone, but it's not exactly fun playing in a venue that only fills up for Wisconsin, Marquette, and late-round tournament games. Sure, it might be the House...

    The Panthers, Admirals and (FWIW) the Wave could all use a 5,000 seat arena. MSG has a theater of about that size built into its complex separate from the actual arena they're famous for. If all...

    Right, and I get that's why Murray State is using it. The problem is that we can no longer "own" the pattern in the college sports world.

    It's similar to how Kentucky started using a checkerboard...

    MSG has a 5,000-seat theater attached to its complex. Perhaps a compromise can be reached where a smaller arena (5,000-6,000 seats) that could double as a theater could be built as part of the new...

    Count me as another who was hoping the look from last year would stick around for awhile. These aren't terrible, but they're certainly not great. I think they'd actually look better without the...

    If there's a way to curtain off the upper deck at the new arena the way they do at BC Place for Whitecaps matches, this might be feasible. Otherwise, let's stick with the cell.
