3 p.m. Tuesday at 677 Prime to announce the new Albany-Siena deal. By invite only, I believe.
The first question for Will Brown should be the following: "Coach, if this series is for the community as most people have stated, why is it better to play a game at SEFCU Arena rather than negotiating for a game at the TU Center to be Albany's home game, with Albany being in control of all of the ticket sales? This shuts out no fans and gives all of your season ticket holders prime seats."

Financials at Siena must be in much better shape than previously rumored. An invite-only press conference at 677 Prime, a scholarship to a walk-on, and an anticipated announcement that we are conceding a home game at the TUC in favor of a limited crowd no income game at Sefcu! Siena is clearly saying they value the local UA fans more than their own, up until now, loyal fan base. I guess they won't miss my Saints Alive donation this year.

Seriously, and join the worst preseason tournament in the country travelling thousands of miles to play 4 road games at a fraction of the revenue. No excuses, I don't want to hear how tired they are or how much practice they missed....

Tough questions by true fans! Not enough of that in this day and age.

Hmmm, by invitation only, huh. Color me skeptical but I think that's to avoid the tough questions. This type of event normally would be open to the public since I thought it was for "the public" that the game had relevance.

Maybe the Siena "Higher Ups" are turning back a page in time and treating this press conference like the Measles game i.e. NO FANS.

Playing the two National Title participants from last year? Opening at THE elite program, and facility, live on ESPN opening night has the word "worst" in your mind?? lmao Some people are never happy......

There's a lot of animosity about this game from both sides fans (especialy ours). Why have "fans" there to make the press conference into a circus? Let's see if the reporters have the balls to ask the tough questions, or will be a soft toss, "everyone is happy" BS show?

Everyone is entitled to an opinion on what is enjoyable to them. From my perspective, we get to watch our team get their ass whooped twice at Duke and Wisconsin and then head to Smithfield, RI with Bryant, Radford, and Prairie View A&M. I would rather be in St. Thomas, Cancun, or even Charleston, SC.

So long as the Albany Cup game year played at SEFCU has a quality home game replacement for season ticket holders (ie Harvard) I'm fine with it.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion on what is enjoyable to them. They sure are!!! And if you don't like playing Duke at Cameron opening night on ESPN, you just don't get it.

If the players are excited, I'm excited.
