I'm sure many here already know about this, and some are minimal but I think this is a good thing. I've had two late-20s Charlotte area friends who are casual fans text about how they want season tickets now because of the Brickhouse selection. I'm sure it was partly kidding but small things like that matter to some people and can draw more fans, especially some younger ones.

I think there were some complaints during red/black about the lights, but as an out of town fan I'm excited about this. Our home games generally look dimmer on tv than other games, now if only we can get rid of the volleyball lines on the court during games Razz (kidding! (kind of...))


Also, we need to submit this to the academy and get Coach an Oscar.

Clunie mentioned at last Thursdays dinner that they are working on the lights.

How much did Clunie have to do with instituting these changes? Or were they already underway?

Not sure who the credit goes to but we have some nice steps in the right direction towards being a legit atmosphere instead of a D3 bargain bin atmosphere which we have had for years.

I would credit Scott Applegate and Jamie Hendricks for the changes with a nice sprinkle of Richard Agner mixed in.

That's a solid trio

The Brickhouse has a lot of fine options on tap. I wonder what they will be bringing over to the Arener and can we put in requests? Laughing

I believe NoDa is the official beverage provider. I'm so excited about beer in the arener that I won't even complain that I generally find NoDa a shade too far towards the hoppy trend for my taste.

As I've said before, there is a huge Old Meck Brewery tie in opportunity for the Concrete game, in that they make a beer called "Hornet's Nest"

$2.50 Brick Reds/Lights would promote a rowdier crowd.

Would never expect us to do something this elaborate, but seeing a small school have an awesome court design is pretty cool https://twitter.com/BlountJordan13/status/1058023486290083840

The design is cool but many times those type of courts give me a headache when watching on TV. Smurf turf at Boise does the same thing. Sad
