When both VT and Blacksburg had far fewer people...
...we were regularly putting 10K in that arena. Since that time the VT student population has almost doubled and the Blacksburg/Montgomery population has increased dramatically. I don't buy in to the argument that the area won't support larger crowds. Bad basketball is what supressed attendance, not a lack of bodies. There are a lot of smaller colleges in smaller towns that have, and fill, bigger arenas. If/when our program becomes better, we would be handcuffed with a crackerbox gym. That doesn't encourage growth of the program nor attract major talent.
