If you are impressed with the new Baylor facility may I introduce you to.....the Mcleod Center.

At UNI basically the same size as the Mighty Baylor's. :D

Why is Baylor in the Big 12?

How the hell do they get a camera that far away from the court in a building that small? The players look like ants on the court.

You have to wonder if they don't have a better option for a camera position if it will factor in to how often they are on big networks at home. It's legitimately hard to watch. I always hated the camera position at Gallagher Iba and this is twice as bad as that.

It appears like the students are on the side instead of behind the basket. Seems weird and not great.

It is going to get loud in there. There's nowhere for the sound to go except right back down to the floor

Nobody here seems to realize that Iowa State is a pretty extreme attendance outlier. Live attendance at games is dying and smaller buildings with amenities and party spaces are the future. You're competing with 75" HD screens where you don't have to wait in line for food or the bathroom.

If you don't show up, shut up.

Testifying

No center hanging scoreboard, is there a scoreboard similar to the one we can see at the end wall at the other end wall?
Or is it just that big one at the end wall?

Seats in that place are steep. Cannot believe that school has an MBB national title and a 7k seat arena. Also sounds like they stole ISU’s siren before the tip
Very, which if the place is actually full and crowd gets into it should get pretty damn loud in there.
