Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 4547921, member: 1646"] I don't think you can do much more with a round geodesic dome. I can't imagine them finding more space. But is it possible for them to have the two side corners open to a new annex where the field house currently is (or whatever the building is that is attached)? Basically, original Gampel stays as is, but you exit to a new area with bathrooms, concessions, lounge area, large screen tvs (although you don't want people to linger). Most arena concourses are outside of the viewing area anyway. I also wondered why UConn hasn't sold name rights to the arena. Harry A. was super generous, and maybe there is a contract that requires the name to stay for a certain amount of time or forever. But could they do some double naming? "Ted's Arena at the Harry A. Gampel Pavillion." Or, if we do the annex mentioned above, that gets separate naming rights. [/QUOTE]
