...but have y'all heard that they're putting 600 student seats "courtside" this year? They'll have 200 behind the benches, 200 on the west side and 200 on the north side.
Should be fun to see how it turns out.

wow.
Hopefully they won't go to the duschebags.
I believe that is "*********", fyi.Originally Posted by OklahomaTrombone
only a duschebag knows how to spell duschebag.
I think duschebag is the German spelling.
Yeah, those will probably wind up going to Kelvin's Krew, or some other lame group that Joe C. comes up with as a substitute for actual fan involvement.Originally Posted by OklahomaTrombone
... that's not food.
Or the sorority girls that just stand/sit there.
how about 200 girls behind each basket in extra tight shirts? to get the seats, they have to jump up and down for every freethrow by the oposition.
Better Nate than Lever
200 girls dressed like that would still be less effective than just one White Gravy.Originally Posted by GoOwls

i seem to remember this pissing off some season ticket holders........
I don't doubt that. And if it did, then I applaud Joe C. all the more for doing it. Not because it pissed off donors, but because it needed to be done and he was willing to upset a few people to do it.Originally Posted by jk the sooner fan
I don't know for sure, but I bet those seats will be GA just like the rest of the student section. First come, first served. Some of them might go to KK and/or Crimson Pride, but certainly(?) not all 600.
i don't see it how would **** off donors. they still have LE seats.
didn't we have seats around the court when Billy was here?
the demonization of donors in hoops at OU is something i find quite intereesting.
Yeah, let's move the people back that come to the games to make room for students who never show up. That'll send the right message.
Never mind that the bigwigs in the athletic department f*cked up the LNC renovation four years ago. Texas got it right and we got it even more wrong than before.
Nice work, Joe C.
***.
Sometimes I detect a hint of dislike for Joe C. from you 04.
Actually, they're making room for the students who DO show up. Those will be the ones who will be filling those seats. Plus it sends the message to people watching on TV that the LNC is an exciting place to be. And that's the message they're after. Not the "the only people who care about OU basketball are old and crusty and just sit there in their non-OU hats" message.Originally Posted by Sooner04
How would you have done the previous renovation differently? I didn't agree with the way they did it either, but I heard they were somewhat limited in their options. More limited than I thought anyway.
I'd have torn it down and started over.Originally Posted by TopDawg
Really, I don't think the donors or the students show up at a very high percentage. We routinely "sell out" the LNC, only to have 3-4,000 seats empty. At least this way, we'll get some people around the lower part of the arena that'll look like they want to be there. Not that you can see the lower part on TV because the renovations didn't much help at all, but whatever.Originally Posted by 04

Anything that gets our REAL fans closer to the court, I'm all for it. Disbanding the "Spirit" Council and making Kelvin's Krew like it was in the mid 90's would be a hell of a start too...
