That is much needed imo. Also heard talk of possible suites where the...


corner seats are but I think the issue is what all can be done. I’m definitely no engineer or architect but I’ve heard people complain that Cassell was a bad design in certain aspects (can’t put a video board hanging from the ceiling as an example). I do wonder if we could do a major renovation like Little John underwent.

I personally like Cassell just for the fact it’s really loud and a hostile environment when it’s packed. It’s a great home court advantage for us when the seats are full. But, I wouldn’t be opposed to a new arena either down the road because I know a lot of people like more comfort and amenities. I do think replacing all the seats and extending the concourse will help some. Cassell is historic and while at times I wish we had a new arena, I’d really miss it if it was gone. Plus it’s in an ideal location.
