RollTribe Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Love the Betty! If the basketball team continues to improve (I am optimistic about the future), would it be possible to add more seating on the ends of the arena? Seems like something that would be easy to do, and very cost efficient per seat. Also, has there ever been much discussion about a larger, hanging scoreboard with a video display? Even the AC has one in the BSA, if that arena is worthy of one, then the Betty definitely is! Quote

UND92 Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 When the Betty was first proposed, I believe it was to have 4,200 capacity. So I believe there is the possibility of adding more seating if and when needed. At this point not needed but with improvement it may come. Can also move into REA for 6,000-8,000+ Quote

Can also move into REA for 6,000-8,000+ The Betty was to have about 4,000 permanent seats but it was cut back due to budget constraints at pretty much the last minute. Too bad that happened - a 4,000 seat venue would have been ideal! Quote
BJC Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Would like to see more effort to actually fill it....student turnout is horrid....needs to be rowdy and loud.....not hearing the bball bounce. DO they do any significant promotions to get students or others under the age of 50 to games? Love the diehards but the players would appreciate a full arena! Quote

This is something I have been concerned about for a long time. The BB fan base is getting older and grayer all the time. The Marilyn Haggertys of the world won't be around forever. Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Are we getting to the old familiar topic of how to get fans in the seats? I think we all know the the 3 letter word that solves all attendance issues!!! Quote
jdub27 Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Winter break and frigid weather doesn't help matters either. Quote
