[QUOTE="Newman, post: 1218349, member: 528847"] Maybe not, but I guess we'll see. I think it looks pretty good and if they were able to get recruits to say yes to their old arena, they'll surely be more likely to give them a chance now that it won't look completely awful. The place will continue to have a good atmosphere, it's actually a pretty good place to watch a high level game. People look at one picture and think that it's absurd that 100 millions dollars is being put into it for just new seats, when really it's much more. The entire facility is being upgraded, including locker rooms, offices, and stuff that fans won't see but that recruits will really appreciate it. It won't top the SFC, or other top arenas in the country, but this gives recruits something that isn't a complete eye sore to go along with the huge incentive of playing in the Chicago area. I understand people not being impressed with what NU is doing with the renovation but if people can't see that they're becoming a respectable program, then they're blinded by the belief that NU can never compete with us.
