to be fair, texas didn’t pay for the arena. It was a corporation that paid for it, so they have austin’s premier concert venue for 200+ days a year and texas plays basketball in it + graduation type events

Nice video but when you mentioned Oklahoma State needing a new arena just because they “play in an old one” I laughed. Gallagher Iba Arena is up there with KU as far as historic arenas in the Midwest. Built in 1938 with 6,700 seats & they doubled it in 2000 with a renovation in which the built the new gym over the original. That comment & the one about the Liberty mountains on the glass, I’m from the Midwest, but even I knew they had a range near their campus. Also the whole window thing kind of became a new idea about 2006 when USC opened the Galen Center. If you catch a day game there you have a cool view of LA from those big windows.

For Liberty Arena, it’s pictures of the mountain range around the school. It’s not a window, it’s merely a screen with the view of the blue ridge mountains that you would see from the top of the mountain on campus.

You can see the mountains from Lynchburg, so the mountains make total sense. As far as the roof on the Liberty arena goes, there is no upper deck, so they had to raise it enough to have the central scoreboard.

Coleman Coliseum is the opposite of what you described. The roof is insanely high. The seats on the side, aside from folding chairs on the floor, are too far from the action. The student section is funnelled too far from sidelines which detracts from the atmosphere. It lacks premium seating in the right places. The concourses and everything have been updated and all the seats were replaced sometime ago. It's built like a tank but I think that makes it harder to materially change the seating bowl the way they need to in order to bring it into the present.

My question with the Texas arena, what is with that upper deck, you have seats with a semi-permanent obstruction in front of the whole upper deck? I thought it was just the angle and that people would see underneath of it like the suites at Little Caesars Arena, but the one render shows it butt against the upper deck fully blocking it. Yea it may be for the specific event or attendance, but with the metal structure of the obstruction and where its placed, it seems permanent and that it cant be swung against the roof to unobscured those seats.

The team that built it wanted the arena to be as loud as possible for games at the arena. So they decided to put in those boards which create a louder crowd noise when fans are yelling. It seats like 10,000 for games. Then for concerts they open it up to allow around 15-16k people.

Do you wanna know the truth about the Moody Center in Austin, TX? It is definitely not a sports arena. It’s way too small but it is definitely the best concert venue I’ve been to that into three concerts and only one sport event I got to see the The Eagles, Post Malone, and Bruce Springsteen for sports UFC Fight Night in the most hypocritical in the most annoying thing about the moody center, is they close off the second level for the dumb video board effect that’s supposed to increase 8,000 or + seating capacity and the tickets for a basketball game is outrageous expensive and stupid, the cheapest you’ll get is $130.00 for a basketball game. To the Longhorn Athletics, A.D. open the second level and fans will come
