Hey guys, want to add my .02 on this issue
I'm a football and basketball season ticket holder and will be
for next year as well. I will say up front that, for me,
watching games at Pritchard was painful. I'm 6'1 and my knees
would usually be in the back of the unfortunate soul sitting in
front of me. Getting up and around was not easy as well as I'd
step all over people. I loved the gameday environment at
Pritchard but it still felt like my high school gym. Honestly, I
think the price points are pretty close to where they need to
be- I'm fine with paying for the improved quality. The new gym
is really gonna be top notch.
The big caveat I have is that the team really needs to make it
to the NCAA tourney in the next couple of years- attendance will
be fine initially at this arena but we need to have an
entertaining product. That means no more boring home games
against Haverfords and other lower level teams. When I was a
student, I remember how awesome it was when we hosted Villanova!
There are enough teams in the tri-state area that we can
schedule so many teams from the D1 pool. For example, the St.
Francis game this year was amongst the best games all year. On a
side note, I am excited that the student section will be able to
accomodate more folks- late this year, I saw students being
forced to stand in the barricades next to the student section
because the student section was full. Also, there was the
wonderful limitation on students at the AE championship too.
Ultimately, if the team wins and plays exciting basketball,
we'll get decent attendance. I don't think we'll come close to
selling out unless its late season games or AE playoff games. I
think the 4k capacity will be a capacity that will be utilized
for concerts and what not. I'd love to see the new arena packed
for basketball games but we're gonna need some serious community
turnout for that to happen.
When it comes to parking, I'm still debating what to do about
it- for some games, it was a huge pain in the butt to get
parking.

I picked these seats because it's third row from the floor, one
of the seats on the aisle towards center court, which is 4 feet
away from the VIP Lounge seats. Also, unlike Pritchard gym, the
seats will be made up of all Stony Brook fans. The visitor fans
seats in the new arena are now reserved in the corner. Good luck
and let us know your seat location on Monday night.

That is awesome that they are sticking the away fans in the
corner. It will stink when SB fans get treated the same way at
visiting venues.

I went today. section 111, row B, seats 7 8 9... Still some
really good seats left for the taking. Christine said 1,350 will
be taken by Friday, not to mention fans have all summer to buy
season tickets. I say this was a success, now lets win some
games and get to the NCAA!!!

I may have said this but Kudos to Jordan and Christine for this
whole process. I think they were the ones putting this all
together and they did a GREAT JOB! So far everyone seems happy
with their seats and the process .
