USBA officials have announced plans to tear down the area and rebuilt a new one in the same location. None of the stories mention how this impacts both the short and long-term future of the Cyclones. |

"U.S. Bank Arena needs to add two locker rooms and greatly expand media space below the seating area if it’s going to host the first- and second-round games, Ray Harris, COO of Nederlander Entertainment, which operates and is majority owner of the arena, told me on Wednesday."

While a massive overhaul would be nice for the city and Nederlander/AEG it's not required to host the NCAA Tournament. What the major media is reporting is the posturing going back forth between Nederlander/AEG and the City. I'll be shocked if a tear down/rebuild occurs without major concessions from the city. |

Biggest problem with Cincinnati hosting big events is not USBA but
instead PBS ! By not putting a dome on the football stadium, Super
Bowl, NCAA final 4, political conventions and even big conventions
bypass Cincinnati. Granted a new arena with boxes in the middle is
a better unit, but you still won't get the big ticket events that
domed stadiums provide. |

Cincinnati is losing out on opportunities to host major events because the venue is outdated. It needs to be torn town and a new modern venue built in its place so the city isn't losing events to other cities such as the chance to host NCAA tournament games. |

Okay here is one version of the story:
http://www.fox19.com/story/35194010/us-bank-arena-may-be-rebuilt-for-ncaa-bid
Here is another:
http://www.wfsb.com/story/35182257/officials-ncaa-bid-contingent-on-us-bank-arena-being-renovated-by-2022-march-madness-games
I find it hard to believe all this done for just an NCAA tournament
chance. I could believe it if the arena will be going after an NBA/NHL
team or at least an upgrade to the AHL level. Anyway thanks for the info

Donnie,
Without a link to a valid story on this topic, I have to treat this
as just another rumor. I first looked at your post date to see if it
was April 1st ! Only reason I could see some kind of action like that
would be a pro team coming in and premium boxes in a better location
inside would be desired. |
