I recorded the game and one thought about the Rac.

yes, the handicapped section is the problem.

It would take a rather large design effort to move that amount of handicap seats. It currently is easy to roll a wheelchair to that area. It's an issue as that is prime real estate viewing space for fans. It's still very close to the court

This exactly. Area is way too large in one of best viewing spots of arena. The whole concourse in front of wheelchair area is mostly wasted space.

Older shot, but crazy how far back that section is

I actually really like the lobby, it’s kind of cool having this open space looking out into the arena. I think knocking out the offices and putting in an “upper” level of sorts there along with bringing back 118 but extending to the glass would give us the more needed seating capacity. And leave the lobby underneath with the handicapped seating still right there in front against the glass. Roll the student section 10ft forward and add 5 rows to the top of it at the back to bring it back up against the wall, add full back seats to the 300s and call it a day

A decent architect can do it. Just have to spend some money.

It’s beyond absurd. Pull it forward to within 5-feet of the baseline HOWEVER keep the 1st few rows of 109(? To the left) pushed y see so there is a walkway AS IN the past. Pretty simply stuff lol!

Just curious how much would a new stadium cost?

It’s infuriating.

If we simply built up section 118 to extend up and over the concourse, it would look great. I’ve seen someone show what the RAC would look like if if was sort of enclosed like a bowl. Besides redoing the outside, I think this one change that would add more seats would be a big positive. They could also redo the concourse floors.

1. redo the outside to match the practice center and add a large front facade which would include a store that sells Rutgers gear.

2. redo section 118 to add seats over the top of the concourse. More symmetrical to the student section,

3. New flooring in the concourse around the area making it look more modernized.
