haha I love it. Well once they build an awesome new arena the students would have to feel really safe in there.

Never listen to the fire alarms on a college campus...

Cincinnati is out of the running for the GOP Convention. It might make more sense to BUILD the nice new arena rather than to PROMISE a new arena.

Its a shame US Bank is so dismal, the GOP Convention would have been great for the city. I think it will be in Ohio and go to Cleveland. So sad.

Agree man. Cincy has such a better downtown area as a whole but the deal breaker is the difference in arena's which stings even more.

Didn't the cincinnati.com article say that UC architects wanted a plan for a renovated 5/3 by the end of may?

I believe so but...I've said before I think we are a long ways away before we actually get something substantial. Its all just talk imo.

With the looming 2016 GOP convention, I would much rather prefer a state of the art US Bank Arena to play in. Whatever will generate the most $$$ for the Athletic Department. I don't really care if basketball games are moved off campus, we've got a damn football stadium in the middle of campus that should be enough for alumni that want to get back to campus a few times a year.

Case in point: that convention isn't coming here because the arena is not up to snuff
