Understood. I've been following Augie basketball for a while now and closely the last 10 years or so. Don't remember a roster this big, but I could be wrong.
I'm most familiar with expanded rosters in D3. I've seen some pushing --- if not exceeding -- 20 players. Where do they all sit? The stands?

Couple of interesting late additions; a 6-7 forward from Alabama who redshirted for a year at D1 Samford in Brimingham and a 6-4 JUCO guard originally from Hawaii (a first for Augie hoops?).

I was talking to people who know things at the Augie football game yesterday and there are rumblings that Tam Ferguson's jump shot has been found. Big, if true.

I used to buy the ice cream at the Elmen. I agree totally with the hard seats with no backs. On campus is preferable as long as there is enough parking.

I've always liked the intimacy of the Elmen center. Never liked the bleacher seats and set back end of court seats. Always wished an update would happen. If finished like mock-up I believe more students and fans will attend ganes and fans with love chairback seats and central location in city. A south end of Elmen center entrance would be sweet on those cold Jan/Feb nights. With attendance not what it used to be this would help and add bling for recruits and players.

Originally posted by Blue Ridge Viking View PostI agree with Mr. Augustana, as usual. As long as the work is a full and proper upgrade, it makes sense to move back on campus for a variety of reasons.
What I hope this doesn't mean is that the school can't afford the rent at the Pentagon, now that it has gone all in financially on hockey. I'm a basketball-first guy and would hate to see the sport short-changed.
Now if we could only do something about that fence on the baseball field ...
If y'all get a fundraiser going to fix that Ronken fence I might toss a few pesos at it lol. Thing's an eyesore on an otherwise gorgeous field.

Looooong overdue. I’ve been a fan of the Pentagon, but that was only because the Elmen was so bad. If the administration is willing to put the money into making it a top-of-the-line experience on all levels (players, fans, boosters, etc.), then I think it makes sense to move it back.
Hopefully they follow all the way through on this effort and don’t go the route they went with the supposed-to-be-indoor track and leave it half-unfinished. 🤣
Hopefully there's money in the budget for that videoboard that can drive some revenue for you guys. It makes a difference. Even the Stew has one! XD

The rendering looks kinda cool - though I wish you guys had the space for a center hung videoboard. Totally understand why it's going on the back wall.
