agree with all ..
i would also say that sitting in the upper part of LNC gives a much much better fan experience then sitting up top at GIA which is a terrible place to watch a game unless you are in the first 15 rows ..
of course OU does need a new building for a ton of reasons ..
it's also better than sitting in the nosebleeds at AF, which I sat in back in 2018.
Whoever said the oval shape gives great sight lines because you can always look straight ahead and see the entire court was spot-on. There's never a need to turn your head or keep your head turned for long periods of time which at my age causes neck stiffness the next day.
Does the LNC need to be replaced? I think due to the issues I already stated -- the seats can't be brought to the floor -- yes I think it probably does. I also think the location of it is not ideal for getting student participation so if that could be solved then I'm all for it. However, moving it further away from campus as they have discussed is asinine, IMO. It's too bad they didn't just put it where the new football facility is being built -- the sight of the indoor track building -- or when that's done how about where the current indoor facility is located? There's space there, maybe not ample parking but use the parking for Owen Field for basketball then.
But if anyone thinks replacing the LNC is going to make the program magically better, you are sadly mistaken. It won't.
