ESPNU Returns to The Pavilion on 2/25 v. LBSU Rec Hall is also a Rec facility, so that is a big consideration.
I preferred the original upper tier bleachers that pulled towards the court when closed. It created a wall that made the crowds of 2000 or 2500 seem bigger.
The large gaps in the upper tiers now are a disaster. I can't recall one other facility with such a poor use of space. Someone didn't fight hard enough.
All of these things cost money. Bringing the lower seats closer to the court, and filling in the lower unused corners might yield the best bang for the buck Give the donors a winning team. With racquetball disappearing, that is a lot of unused space.
