[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1167617, member: 527609"] Yup. Ron Guenther is gone, but he's not THAT gone. This is now essentially two arenas, one for the unwashed masses, and one hermetically sealed away for the chosen plutocrats. Illinois is worse than most with these sorts of attitudes, but it's not so different from every modern sports venue in that way. This was always going to be part of the deal. The good news is, unlike with Memorial Stadium, the remaining portion for the masses has been dramatically improved, the amenities for the players are being brought up to a competitive level, and the changes have been made with an eye to the "feel" both in the arena and on TV.
