Looking forward to the Bobcats visit to Richmond to play the Spiders on 12/22.

With some of the talk about the lack of a large hanging video screen in the Convo, the Robins Center renovation which (taking place now) is reducing the seating capacity, moving seats closer to the floor and installing large video screens in the corners.  This might be an idea worthy of consideration when the timing is right and money in place.

Lots of empty seats, mostly in the corners.

Definitely something the Convo could use, but I'd imagine very unlikely for budgetary reasons. Additionally, the Convo serves so many purposes that I'm not sure if prolonged construction would be possible.

That said, I'll probably be in Richmond for Christmas and will be attending this game. It'd be nice to beat them two years in a row.

The biggest renovations in the Convo that would help definitely includes audio/video upgrades, but there are others that really could be done now.  I like this as an example of something that could be done in Athens.
