First Dub in Austin for JW

I’m surprised by the small size of the Moody arena for Texas basketball; pretty easy to sell out a 10,000 seat arena. Austin has about a million residents and the campus has 51,000 students. One article I saw says Moody seats 16,000. So every game is a sellout if the event operator just doesn’t open all the seats in the arena. Not that I really care if someone wants to call their games a sellout. Let’s beat Texas today, sellout or not.
-
@stoptheflop the line around here about the arena is “they close the upper sections to make it feel more intimate. You know, like Allen field house.” They are always shocked and confused when I tell them Allen holds 16300. They say, “but that’s bigger than the Erwin center” and I say yes it is.
They have these weird panels that they lower to block out the upper levels and maybe they bounce the sound back? I haven’t been and unfortunately won’t be going today. The Texas fans I know love it because they say it’s louder and more fun than the old Erwin center (pretty low bar).
-
15,000 capacity, but they limit if for bball to make it more intimate - lol more like so they have a chance of filling it.

Speaking of new arenas, I didn’t realize Baylor is also building a new basketball arena that is also downsizing from Ferrell Center. Ferrell Center has a capacity of a little over 10,000 and the new Foster Pavillion that’s supposed seat about 7,000 and open in the spring of 2024. I love going to Waco, but getting rid of that many seats is going to drive up ticket prices significantly the way Moody Center did for UT tickets this year. The cheapest tickets for the KU game were going for over $200 until Wednesday when they lost out on the Big 12 title and are still going for about $175 today. Baylor will likely be similar and price a lot of Houston and DFW KU fans out of driving to Waco for those games.
Also, we don’t have to worry about Fran calling our game today since he’s in Waco for the ISU/Baylor game.

@BeddieKU23 said in Conference Champs vs Burnt Orange Arkansas Game Thread:
Bobby is a walking turnover
he always has to make at least one bonehead play every game
-
we’re lucky they can’t hit anything either
-
Grady has to get over this funk - last three games he has been zelch
-
Nice shooting - -AGAIN - - 3-14
-
Bobby has more turnovers then rebounds, not far off his assist total either
He has more turnovers then made baskets
-
Wonder how many scalpers lost money since the prices didn’t go up with UT’s loss?
-
JW is 0 for 18 his last 3 point attempts…
-
Yes points his feet at a 45-degree angle away from the basket before he shoots. I don’t get it
-
Bob and yes in together?
