Obviously attendance has been a big issue and the noise factor just as big. USD could get involved in marketing the new facility to give the fans a huge name to live up to. Maybe something that could have the rest of the Summit League be jealous of what we are doing. Something that makes the new arena an instant home court advantage. Something that gives fans a reason to be proud to attend a home game and gives the team a big advantage on the court.
How about everyone get involved and think of a nickname or slogan that USD could give it's new arena in an effort to encourage fans to cheer and to cheer loud.
Some of my thoughts
The Summit's Vol-Canic (or Volume-Canic) Eruption - or maybe just called the Vol-Cano for short. When the cheering gets loud have a volcano on one side of the court spew lava. Or maybe spew lava being that it's a sign that more cheering is needed but I like the former better than the latter. I think something like that would be cool. It could incorporate the Summit League, Volume and with a Volcano shown erupting could get the fans to really cheer to get that thing blowing up. That would be a perfect way to influence the fans to cheer. Those are the types of things that would make going to a game all the more cooler. If we do have an identity crisis with the Summit League that could help just a smidgen. Have a sign on the outside of the building "Welcome to the Vol-Cano" They could even put it on those roadside billboards that they seem to like so much, having it exploding and advertising Coyote Basketball.
The Decibal Den (since it encourages noise and contains Coyotes) and have it containing a decibal meter. Maybe incorporate a Coyote with a decibal meter. Or maybe have a Coyote on the side of the court and as the noise gets louder the eyes get redder.
The Noise Manufacturing Plant-Where the roof needs to be bolted down to prevent it blowing off the place.
