# | Virginia Tech Football Recruiting: 2016 WR Phillip Patterson Commits to the Hokies, Again The Jawas are happy:
I understand that you have never been to a basketball game at tech but I can assure you that when the program is winning, attendance is not lacking and is full for weekends/big games. This is the story of the 70's, 80's 90's and 2000's.
Hell, if the women are good, they do not have an attendance problem.
Odd that someone has that as a registered trademark, isn't it?
I'm going to suggest that the ACC has some pretty good basketball teams, so if VT improves to where I think they will, it will be often enough to warrant consideration in this discussion.
Yes, I'm on the hype train.
I hear Mariusz Pudzianowski is available. Imagine the "pudzianowskification" jokes that would result. (Might be funnier if I went with Phil Pfister.)
Of mythical proportions...at least 4x
What is the Moss Center then???
There are lots of performances at the Moss Center and it is having trouble making ends meet.

It could be argued that Dabo was, indeed, loosing his mind on this kid. You know, as opposed to keeping it reined in.
The Lakers like to set the mood at the Staples Center during their games. In the next year or two Buzz will have the basketball team playing showcase worthy basketball! The future is bright!
#Hookies
the first sentence of his bio says he is the director of strength and conditioning.
edit: now I am thinking you meant Turner. my bad
So 2-4 games at most a year, how many home games does VT get a year?
Back, and to the left. Back, and to the left. Back, and to the left.
Holy over-analysis Batman. Dadi gets too emotional at times. He was gesticulating wildly and Ron Cherry just happened to be in Dadi's swing radius. Cherry looks at him and sees that he is just over-reacting emotionally, not purposefully trying to hit him. Plus, he heard the "tantrum" that culminated in Dadi hitting his arm. As was stated above, Cherry only gave him a personal foul, he didn't toss him. Cherry was there, we were just watching from the stands or on television. He was in a much better position to gauge Dadi's intent, and he clearly thought it was unintentional.

# | Cassell Coliseum Catch-All Thread - Likes, Dislikes, Wants, etc. For me, Cassell isn't losing money
has that been confirmed? It certainly isn't making money if it's only half full.
And again you plan for low side economics. If VT's low side is 50%, then adding premium seats vastly improves atmosphere and fan experience.
No, you're not going to fill it for every game, but if VT is ranked and playing Duke, Syracuse, UNC, or Louisville, I wonder if you might get some record crowds for those type games.
Yeah, I was thinking more about Conte's comment about Gentry being a big reason he came to Tech, I know once they are here they will spend a lot of hours with the guy, just never imagined recruits thought about that so much in the decision making process.
Searels leaving likely has a lot to do with that. Dickerson seemed to really like him.
What you're saying makes sense, and I guess the economics might support it.
I think you have to be driven by actual data, though.
For me, Cassell isn't losing money, so I'd go for atmosphere and fan experience. I don't mind adding some luxury boxes, but I really hate giving up 1,500 seats for it, in addition to one seat per row for more luxurious seating.
I think it's a discussion worth having, though.
Lives in Memphis.
Names his daughter Memphis.
I don't want him unless he promises to name his next kid Blacksburg.
Yes, that was my mistake, was told that the guy was coming from Memphis. I looked up the wrong profile.
It's impossible to fill every seat in Cassell, too many factors working against that being a realistic goal.

# | Cassell Coliseum Catch-All Thread - Likes, Dislikes, Wants, etc. you are correct sir, and I like your plan about the wooden seats in the lower rows.
More legs for this.
I have been to almost every game since my days as a student in the 90's and understand lots of the problems but think solutions are available which will allow VT basketball to remain @ Cassell.
