I heard that the BOR owns all the vacant land around that campus. I don't know if that's true but I do think there is room to expand that campus if they need to. It won't ever be as large as the one in Statesboro though. And getting big name teams to come play us would literally be the point of using that arena. Plus the city of Savannah would probably cut us a deal since a game like that would help boost their economy. You think Little Rock is making Arkansas pay an arm and a leg to host a game in their city every year?
Not true and and yes a little room which is the point a little room. Yes I am sure Sav govt well be bending over backwards to bring in three thousand people at best for a Sun Belt basketball game.
You think us hosting Duke or UNC in Savannah would only bring 3,000 fans max? That’s outrageously laughable.
I think 5k is about right, 3k is too low......but it is Savannah, not sure how well attended it would be overall.
The only thing that is laughable is thinking we would ever get Duke to give up a home game to play us in Savannah..
