Looks like Carver West is Complete

Nebraska's new basketball arena looks very nice. Kinda sucks we don't play there next year. Know this place is going to be rocking with Black & Gold in the near future.

Looks huge. How many fans does it hold?

Holding back from making any she said jokes to this...

EDIT: Looks like it will hold 15,000 seats.

Just like with many things...looks can be deceiving. I thought it seemed bigger than that.

Looks like they threw some sky boxes in the stadium. That will mean some extra income.

what an awesome facility that is. CHA is in great shape for its time and its recent renovations extended its life and practical usage a long, long time. However Nebraska's facility can be a revenue generator given the luxury suites and such.

Nebraska and Ohio State are two arenas who have these amenities in the B1G...not sure if PSU does in their band box or not...but most don't

Looks really boring IMO. Grey .... Grey ..... Grey everywhere. Luxury sweets are cool and all. The place just looks early/mid 2000's dated and they just built it.

You're assuming people are going to want to keep watching Nebraska basketball after the cool, new stadium factor wears out. Unless they can find a way to get Creighton to play their home games there, that place will be half empty by next year.

Season tickets are sold out, fwiw. First time since the 90s if I remember correctly.

The other nice thing about the PBA is that it is sparking a whole bunch of development in the Haymarket District in Lincoln. Apparently they will be having a big party football games on the big screen in there in the fall too. Pretty cool, all in all, even if it looks a little odd on the horizon.

Wisconsin, Penn State and Michigan State have suites and boxes. Minnesota sort-of has boxes, and entering the Big Ten, Maryland has a well-done, new arena that still has a college feel with modern amenities

So your saying its time for Iowa to add some boxes and upgrade Carver again to keep up with the big boys! Lets do it
