I'm curious - what's everyone's impression on whether or not this board seems to directly impact real decisions made by administration? There seems to be remarkable overlap between what folks have been saying here for months and what has only just recently made its way into popular press, which makes one wonder if one directly influenced the other. I don't know if it influences the administration but the media definitely picks up things from there. The coaching list they compiled yesterday was basically a collection of names being mentioned at Sienahoops.com for the past three months! Exactly. This is what I meant; I shouldn't have used the word "directly", but It almost seems like of lot of local media is using some of our especially well plugged in bloggers as their "insider sources", and I have to believe that popular press at least on an unconscious level, impacts administrative decisions, so are we "indirectly" impacting the program?

Listen folks it’s not rocket science, the names of likely candidates. I think the posters at Sienahoops.com did a great job of flushing out some good names. I don’t think the media stole those ideas, because the choices all make sense. I do think the admin and media get a broad cross section here on how Siena fans feel

You are correct Tony. The "pulse" of the fanbase is reflected here. As you said yesterday, when mispractice and I decided that we had seen enough to withdraw our "wait and see" position, the deal was sealed. ;-)

(Note: an on-campus arena is not in the plans) It never was.

And this is a bad thing? Why do you say never. They got the old troop g property that they could probably build a great facility. I like the TU but a good campus facility is not out of the question.

Siena does want to get into arena event mgmt ... ARC can handle all sports except men's bball ... So to pay the bills it would have to be rented out for concerts, home shows etc ... Just doesn't make economic sense having the TUC available ... If there was no other arenas in the area we would be the only game in town and could fill it year round but that is not the case ... Look what is available in a 25 mile radius ...

Small time thinking… what is available in 100 mile radius with about 8k in seats. TUC is for large acts..very little in between small arenas 3,000 to 5000 and 15,000 seat TuC
Not saying Siena should do it, all I’m saying is there is a gap. I understand all the logistics for traffic and neighbors in Loundonville which probably has more to do with no arena than anything else

You're making a leap of faith that there is demand for 8k arena for events other than bball ... Even Siena's plan is to shrink the footprint of the ARC and make it a 2k arena w seats
