Sat in on the Reed Renovation working groups . One of the really innovative ideas centered around knocking out the corridor walls to open up the view of the court. Additionally there is some thought of creating a limited number of multi-sport suites around the perimeter of Reed where the dead grass is now and sell these for year round use for football / baseball /softball tailgating and entertaining at basketball games.
Apparently the entire operational plant is in the " dead area" where the second end zone seats are supposed to be so that really bumps the cost and land commitment if that is used.
There is no real hunger among fans for suites because there are limited numbers of big entertainment opportunities during basketball season , but I could see installing a designated eating / drinking area with " under the basket seating in the end zone that has the tarp on it.
Everyone involved agreed that unless the AD gets serious about winning any changes were a waste if money.
