I hope not. I like sitting higher up and away from folks to spread out.

We are opening the season at kentucky, Clint is open to multiple defensive looks, they are extending the seating to closer to the court. Those are the takeaways I’ve heard! I’m not sure if they are extending the seating or eliminating the seats in the top ten - fifteen rows to get fans closer to the court. From those there, it sounded like there were tarp-like covers on the upper rows. So this condenses the space and means more people closer to the action but I’m not sure if that means the seating moves forward. The way it's worded on here is confusing. There won't be any new seating closer to the court. They are putting tarps over the top 10-15 rows all around the Nutter Center (It looked like the top 2 rows might still be open to allow for seating up high for those who can't do stairs). Those with season tickets in these areas will be contacted by the athletic department about getting seats in a different location. The idea is to get more fans closer to the court to get more of a home court advantage. Games will probably look better attended on television (if we get the same attendance), but I'm not sure how much it will help with creating a louder atmosphere.

If these are the things the Athletic Dept is thinking about, the program is in trouble.
I know some fans who won't like this; and these tarps look ridiculous.

Games will probably look better attended on television (if we get the same attendance), but I'm not sure how much it will help with creating a louder atmosphere. Covering the top 15 rows won't make the bottom sections look more filled in. Those fans are not just going to move to the much more expensive seats. If they really want to pack it in closer, change which rows the ticket prices increase. The 4 rows in front of me are almost always open except for the highest attended games. The reason I dont move down a few rows is my tickets would then cost half again as much for essentially the same view. And the moveable seats (below the aisle) are extremely uncomfortable (i've often sat their for the women's games) -- they really need to replace those if they want to charge a premium price, but I'm sure there is no budget for that.

This was obviously the plan from the start. Why do the whole interm AD bull shit for the last 6 months? It made everyone's job a million times harder. Brown's most important job going forward is hiring coaches and fundraising for the athletic department. It had to be much harder for her to approach donors trying to get them to contribute money to whatever her vision of the future is when they didn't know if she would even be around in 5 months time and what would become of their donation. It definitely hurt Clint's ability to put together a staff and sign his last recruiting class. Clint hired 2 new assistants with no experience at all. He approached experienced assistant coaches and they turned him down. No one wanted to take a job for a first time head coach that was already on the hot seat. And Clint was unfortunately on the hot seat already because if we brought in a new AD, that AD was most likely going to fire him and bring in his own guy. It is the most common thing to occur with an AD change. If Brown was immediately named the new AD instead of interm AD, Clint would have had a much easier time putting together his staff. A more experienced staff would have done a better job recruiting to finish last year.
