If we're at 60-80% attendance for games at the Spectrum locally, how many fans would attend games at Weber and what would the student section (Hurd) be like? In playing there I don't know that we would have nearly the same home court atmosphere and advantage.

But getting better shooting from Ashworth there to offset the fewer fans we get to the games. The fans we get in the Spectrum can't help Ashworth shoot 7-11 from three.

Another idea, since BYU is looking for any excuse to avoid coming to the Spectrum, why not move the series to Weber's arena next year while we have Ashworth, before resuming the Logan and Provo rotation. Or see if Weber will organize a classic with two teams facing us one night and Weber the other night.

This ybu non-sense of them refusing to play in the spectrum needs to stop. We went there this year, obviously their homecourt affected our FT.

They are not excused from regular home and home contracts. Might just be better to not play them at all. Low benefits from my perspective.

Sorry I'm a bit slow but was there an announcement that the Spectrum was going to get renovated? I thought that I heard rumors before, but did I miss something or is this just hearsay?

Feasibility and budget studies have been conducted to compare renovations to the Spectrum vs. a new arena. Rumor is that there was not much price difference. There was also a master plan developed in 2018 which showed four (4) new potential sites for a new Event Center to replace The Spectrum. The Master Plan included north campus improvements to be completed in three phases. Phase 1: 1-10 years, Phase 2: 10-20 years, and Phase 3: 20+ years and beyond.

I'll include the clip below showing those potential sites: (which are a part of the Phase 1 improvements):



In answer to your question, no decision has been announced since the Master Plan and study was conducted. Then again, outside of GA paying for the upgraded football locker room, I don't think there has been a single new facility or facility upgrade done since Hartwell has been AD.
