Boom

Where there is a will there is a technicality

If you are referring to alcohol sales, that won't fly. It would still be on the campus and the UNC system would not allow it. And privatizing Trask would probably create a big headache in a number of ways.
But the school has no say-so as far as selling alcohol in campus. There's a loophole that allows it to be served without money being exchanged in the Golden Hawk Room, or Hanover Gym at this time.
They could build a new arena off campus. Maybe a combination arena and conference/convocation center.
Another idea floating around with baseball is.sharing a stadium with a minor league team where they are considering.

But if UNCW doesn't own the land then it can't be on campus, because campus is what UNCW owns.

Arent there some apartments behind cookout that are practically on campus but not owned by UNCW so they are not technically on campus?

It would be fun for Wilmington to have an arena and baseball stadium for this very reason.

My concern with this is if the arena is off campus, it’ll be much harder to get the students who aren’t die hard to these games. And that’s about 90% of the students at every home game. It’s not as big a deal for baseball since after opening weekend the students aren’t as big a part of the atmosphere.
