to the floor and the sightlines are great as a result.
I don't go to basketball games for the food, I don't need music blaring at me, and I can see the existing scoreboard. I ignore most of the other "entertainment."
In the current college sports environment, I'd much rather invest in the product on the floor than a new facility.

Better logistics for concessions.
Aka a new facility

an improved plaza on Washington Street.

Not sure that’s feasible in the existing building.
I wouldn’t mind it, however.

Ring the Cassell with students. And retroactively go back and do it for the past 50 years

My daughter loves being at that end in second half.

#2 - not sure what can be done about the fanbase turnout, but for as cheap as our home tickets are/can be, the arena should be packed. Considering the small size of the coliseum, when it is not packed, the fans are practically begging the AD to throw funds into football. That said, it is nice to be able to take a family of 5 to a game without needing a payday loan, so I will win out either way.
(by the way, someone mentioned that the students need a better turnout or more involvement and I don't have any reference point for that--they are practically the entire crowd. Last time I was there the student section was packed and the rest of Cassel was maybe 50-60% full.)
#3 - more food options would be nice, i guess.

1.Better concession options.
2.Bathroom water temp issues fixed.
3.Promotions that are fun and engaging - the pizza box toss was actually more entertaining than expected but "watch Bob and Susie attempt a free throw" sponsored by some random business and if they make it, they'll win $35!!!" is just a snooze fest on repeat. Or could we at least spice up the Press Your Luck prizes?
But my #1 game day suggestion would be more winning.

that 90% of the time, these students have 0 athletic ability? I'm embarrassed for them.
