UNI got some new uniforms again this year. Anyone else changing their look this season?
Also, we got a new floor installed in the McLeod Center this year. Its actually the floor from our NCAA game against Mich St in STL.

Less than that, not enuf to create the atmosphere you want (however, I do recall being at McDonald arean, seating capacity 3,200??, and witnessing games that sent shivers through me spine, much due to the crowd----man, that was a loud crowd, and the acoustics were Great!).

Don't let the "bleachers pushed in" excuse fool you. What you see is what you get. 7,000 seats. Total. Wikipedia has it at 7,018. It is also the second newest arena in the Valley (not counting the girl's gyms recently built by Bradley and Creighton).
I guess it's not the smallest arena in the Valley, UNI, with a student enrollment of over 13,000 undergraduates and post graduates, has a basketball arena slightly larger than Drake's Knapp Center, an oversized high school gym which seats a cozy 7,002. For sake of comparison, Drake's total enrollment (undergrad and post grad) is 5,100.
