Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 2235056, member: 44"] So a few thoughts... 1. Keep in mind that holding First Night at an alternate venue is considerably more costly than holding it at Gampel. That is an issue for a free event. 2. First Night was really aimed at the students, who are going to be less likely to attend off campus. 3. The timing of the roof project was done during the off season to minimize the impact on the basketball programs. Unfortunately, First Night falls in that period. 4. Actually the place to do it would be in the student union quad. Can't have a game (without building a temp court) but could do a pep rally and introduce the players, have the pep band play, let the coaches speak etc. Add to it a light show, that blow torchy thing and maybe some bands and we've got a semi-decent, but cost effective event.
