Jadler Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 And it will a duel "sell out" as Memorial has 90,000 and the PSB has 16,000 at the same time. Lincoln will make a BILLION dollars that day. And will need to have a drunk tent instead of the drunk tank. Fun fact: The arena actually does have two holding "cells." They're really only small rooms with a bench and locking door in case some crazed concert fan or drunk person gets too out of line. Not sure if that will ever really get used. I am officially taking bets on how long it takes me to get one of them named after me. 49r and Silverbacked1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nighthawk Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I'll defer opinion until we see how the parking goes. I went down to the Oven last night and spent 30 minutes driving around the Haymarket looking for a parking place. Made me want to apply for that handicapped sticker I deserve from not lacing up my basketball shoes all the way to the top. It wasn't even a particularly busy night, although there is all that last minute frantic construction going on and there was some sort of motorcycle event blocking one street. i can forsee pandemonium when the inevitable snow and icy winds accompany the basketball season. But I may be just a half empty glass guy when it comes to the arena, so we'll see how it goes. I think the biggest lot for parking is over in Haymarket park according to the parking map they sent my Dad. There are two that are close by. He's having one of his hips replaced next week and will be out of action or have a hard time walking long distances for a few months so will miss the first few games probably as they told him it's a two to three month recovery time. When he sent in the parking request he advised the U of this. Don't know if it's going to do any good but figured he better at least try.

jwpascale Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Question: Do you think people who don't know anyone graduating will actually show up to graduation to look around the arena? I'm writing a story on how the first event went logistically and a little about the looky loos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverbacked1 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I would put money on it. Would kind of stink if some parents didn't get in because of the gawkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, as i've stated before, I live in the Haymarket so I wouldn't really be going out of my way to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgey Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 My friends son is graduating Saturday and has been instructed to go to my seats and text back pictures from them. Hopefully they can do that. I'm more excited for that than the first football game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackshirt83 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 https://twitter.com/chrispank/status/367305573433221120'> I understand it all now.

ajb5856 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Some of the graduation pics are showing up on twitter. Maybe somebody knows this answer. In the pictures the seating on the side that the student section will be on (sections in the low 100s thru 108) is flush all the way up. Not dropped down allowing for the students to stand without obstructing the view of those behind. Prior pictures when the court was rolled out had shown this section being 'sunken in'. I'm assuming this is an option for basketball games only? The pull out section must stop at the basketball option or pull all the way out for concerts or graduations? Or the entire section must raise and lower? I also notice that the railing is not in between where the students and public would sit and is down in front of the first row. With the student setup the railing is in between and there is a walk off stairway on the bottom and no railing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

49r Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Giant special section up on the Journal-Star website: http://journalstar.com/arena/ Lots of good stuff in there, I know we have at least one contributor from the LJS that checks in here from time to time, and let me be the first to say kudos!
