I don't understand why they can't just build a new arena in the parking area nearby. Then tear down the old Smith Center and put new parking there. That way they can still play in the current one while the new one is being built. Yeah, parking on game days will suck more, but that would still be temporary and better than having an arena off campus, or them having to play in Greensboro while they renovate the current arena.

I also think if you base it on this season alone that Hubert will be back unless they get blown out in the first round of the ACC tourney and/or the NCAA tourney.

I've been day drinking since 7am but thart Rusty Carter interview was a bunch of jibber jabber.

There is no reason to move the Dean Dome at all in my humble opinion. My concern for years has been finding a way to get more students closer to the court. I have proposed a potential solution on IC for years and here on ZZLP so I won't bore you with repetition, but I might tomorrow

it’s frustrating that the only real options seem to be renovate the Smith Center or new arena at Carolina North. One of the biggest considerations (in my opinion at least) should be better seating for students. All of the outspoken proponents for a renovation—including the former trustee in this interview—love to wax on about tradition, etc. but never want to address student seating.

I think a new arena is the best way to fix that issue, but I don’t love CN’s location, and I have serious doubts that Roberts and co. can successfully pull something like that off without it turning out to be a soulless strip mall vibe.

Rock and a hard place.

Get rid of Roberts and the Current BOG/BOT before doing anything important.

I think the Bowles lot just isn’t big enough with the B School right next to it. The other proposed site is Odum Village, but the counter to that option that I keep seeing is that it’s just too close to the hospital and would hamper future development for those facilities.
