Or even play a couple BB seasons at the old field house for nostalgia and build a new arena where LNC sits now.

I know there are other sports housed in the field house, but I've wondered why (or if) this hasn't been considered. I know there are obvious reasons but it does sound like a pretty good idea. (If only some OU basketball fan won the $1 billion Powerball......)

I also think Brooks & Jenkins would be a great location for a new arena if the primary goal was to get students back in the seats. However it may be the reality is that the majority of attendees drive and therefore a huge parking lot is necessary. Even with the relatively nearby existing parking garages, more parking structures would likely be needed.

LNC isn't in that terrible a location honestly. UNC's Dean Smith arena is pretty far removed from the main campus area and it gets plenty of people in the seats. Of course comparing UNC and OU basketball really isn't fair though.

there are more season ticket holders then seats in the field house .. and they did a study on expanding it and it is not feasible ..
