What's the seating capacity since the curtains went up? 3,000?

Well if last year vs. Wofford was considered a sellout it seems the current capacity is setup for around 2,600
Speaking of Wofford sellouts, seats at the February game at Timmons are going fast. We need to buy them up before Spartanburg people do.

Those pull out bleachers on the top level are still there, aren't they? I would hope they could be used and move the curtain. I also remember bottom level bleachers at one time? It seems a shame to turn folks away.
I remember asking the same question when Steph Curry and Davidson would visit Timmons. It was explained to me (I believe by Dwight), that the players practice with the black currents so we wouldn’t roll those away for the additional seats. They don’t want to affect the backdrop our players are used to shooting against in Timmons.

Doesn't make sense. There are virtually no pullout seats behind the baskets except in one corner. Don't see how that would effect the shooting background. The curtains could stay. There are also seats in the upper part that could be used.

Regarding the bleacher curtain discussion, I feel our players would opt for more fans in the stands than the marginal advantage of having the curtain up for all games. Our players are use to shooting in arenas with various backgrounds. I don’t see it as a problem. Let’s enlarge our seating capacity for “big” games and make Timmons a big home court advantage. Go Paladins!

Let's have regular and consistent sell-outs first. If folks want to be assured of a good seat, they can buy season tickets. I'm happy to see my tickets have more value. Just opening up those bleachers is no guarantee that they will be filled as some of you suggest. When students have to start camping out to get in early for a seat, I'll go along with opening the bleachers.

Just found out that both are suspended for one game. My understanding is that it was coaches decision.
Seems like they are engaged on sidelines and have on suits. Hopefully a learning opportunity and this is the last of it. We need those guys going forward.

Holy cow ... up by 40 ... yes FORTY ... with 4:14 left. Williams getting several scores ... Bothwell, too. Just wow.

I wonder if LSU is paying any attention.
