The reason for this is to do nothing other than to keep the talk going with the potential new arena and to discuss what everyone wants to see in an arena and what other arena's would be good models to build after. Sayler wants an arena that is kind of a "best of the best" arena.
The target last that was released was that USD was looking at somewhere in the 6,000 range for seating capacity with the possibilty of expansion in the future.
This challenge is obviously just for fun but don't think that your votes and comments are not important and will not be seen by those that matter. If you are a lurker and don't want to post, please register at least to vote in the polls and as a bonus add a few comments and leave it at that.
I am finally done with the brunt of the research and have some results to share in the form of images.
I am making this basically a 5 round challenge that should take about 3 weeks to complete with the voting. I am leaving 4 open spots in the bracket for anyone that wants to make a suggestion of an arena that doesn't show in the challenge that you think is worthy of being there. Otherwise I am going to look a bit into the major conferences to see if any of the big programs have any facilities that could be considered as well.
The bracket and seedings are as follows.
1st quadrant
1 vs 28
16 vs 17
9 vs 24
Bye vs 8 (TBD)
2nd quadrant
Bye vs 5 (TBD)
12 vs 21
13 vs 20
4 vs 25
3rd quadrant
3 vs 26
14 vs 19
11 vs 22
Bye vs 6 (TBD)
4th quadrant
Bye vs 7 (TBD)
10 vs 23
15 vs 18
2 vs 27
I don't want to overwelm anyone by putting too many polls up at once. I will update and post new polls every 4 days until the challenge is over and USD fans have chosen their favorite arena to model after. I will start by posting the 1st and 2nd quads first followed in the next wave (4 days later) consisting of the 3rd and 4th quads. After that I will post the complete 2nd round (including the 4 new additions), then the quarterfinals, then the semi-finals followed by the final matchup.
