Bigger, nice and better doesnt mean the atmosphere will be better.

Case in point. Yankee Stadium and giants stadium. Having frequented both many times I can honetly say that I prefer the old stadiums ten-fold over the new stadiums. Asthetically both new stadiums are great. Clean, wide hallways, state of the art, I'm not saying they are bad in any way. They however have no character, no homey home field advantage, nothing. I sat in the new giants Stadium (I will never refer to it as Met Life or acknowledge the Jets even share it because it will always be Giants Stadium) and I was less than impressed. I miss the swirling winds of the old Giants Stadium. Same goes for Yankee Stadium. Yea the jumbo tron is awesome but there is no feel for something special like there was with the old stadium.

I think I would feel the same way if they built a basetball only arena. And for the record, at 41 years old and having been going to the Dome since it opened in 1980, I dont need a student section (ala Cameron) right on the court. You can make noise from anywhere. The Butler NIT game in 2002 had about 7-10k in the building and it was one of the loudest games I have ever attended in the Dome.
