I noticed this about Crisler Arena

[1hawkeye1]

In past years they had students standing in the aisle of their student section near the floor. Many Hawk fans complained about our often unseen student section stuck behind the hoop.

Looks like Michigan is no longer allowing the standing in the aisles. Doesn't change my opinion, though, that we need to move Aunt Edna and her knitting needles and get students closer to the floor.

Come a little closer with your post sweetie so I can poke you in the eye with one of my needles.

I am going to tell this good friend of mine who sits next to me to look at this post. She WILL kick your ass.

Have you noticed what Mich St does at the Breslin Center? They put the students in the first dozen rows or so all the way around the court. The other ticket holders are farther out, and it seems that those seats have enough clearance that even when the student section stands the other ticket holders don't have any problems viewing the court while seated. That wouldn't be hard to do in CHA.

I will admit, the game day atmosphere at Carver is lacking, always has since day 1. It's a nice, big arena, but it just doesn't have that super exciting, intimidating feel to it. It's not even close to what the old Field House was. What else sucks is that the only real championships that Carver has/experienced are from wrestling.

CHA is nearly 35 years old and nasty, and not the good kind of nasty. It needs replaced.

I suspect may have been a fire code issue, but just speculating.

Are the students even showing up enough for this to be relevant?

Do they ever?

They used to fill the Hawks Nest, not anymore.
