      The VBC is too big for what we need. If they put more than 4,000 seats in the new place, they're stupid. But this will allow them to put a real home locker room, a quality visiting one, as well as home/visitor pairs for WBB, VB, and MBB. Volleyball is gonna get dwarfed in that building and feel very strange.

      My only concern is that the idea in going with a bigger facility will tempt the Powers That Be to join North Alabama in Division I. Nooooooooo thank you.

          I suspect there are already a few who are already wanting UAH to go full D-I with this facility.

            5,000 seats, home locker room for each sport, at least 3 multi-sport visiting locker rooms so you can host 4 team tournaments. 5,000 isn't overly large. If done right, 2500 can make it seem like a decent crowd.

              A mid-winter tournament has always been a hope on my end.

                  The UAS BoT has put the campus expansion in the master plan but didn't allocate funds for it.

                  Pardon me while I throw a few chairs...

                    The selection of the new AD next year will make or break us, I think. (No pressure, Dr. Dawson.)

                            I think that this is our last year as a varsity program.

                                Wow!

                                Like you I have been hoping for a PowerMillions/MegaBall windfall to spring Charger Hockey from surviving status to thriving status. Still no success on that plan.

                                When the new on-campus (extension) arena idea was announced I celebrated the idea but worried at the lengthy time frame. With the approval but no funding result that became even more of a concern.

                                As for your statement, is there a reason that Charger Hockey wouldn't play 2021-2021 also, to at least see out the nWCHA era? Sure, the travel costs have little return when your (partially) hired friends are all leaving soon anyway.
