To borrow a line from Fear Leon....THIS ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Well said. Since this is the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Convo, the entire year should be spent celebrating all of the great events that have happened in this building. Aside from the deplorable hand driers in the restrooms that obviously came with the facility in 1968, there is very little to reflect upon the storied history of the building. Lots of sports history there and I can recall when The Convo was a great concert venue as well.
As another aside, is there a reason why we have nothing but holes and patching for the 2 video boards that were removed on the floor? If we can't replace them with other better video options, at least get an Ohio banner or flag or something to cover them up.
Brilliant point. While I'm indifferent regarding hand dryers, as long as they work, I do agree about the 'patchwork' where the old boards were.
The celebration of the arena's 50th Anniversary is a heck of a point. There are a ton of things that could be gone over, including the 50 best games, 50 best players, moments, etc.
50 cent beers.
How about 2 free beers for students and season ticket holders? That's what Loyola Marymount is doing. Press release below.
