What a Dump!

Scottrade is such a dump. The floor is coming apart and they fix it with duct tape? Are you kidding me?

It is time to move this tourney to KC. It isn't like the Illinois schools are showing up anyway....

It is somewhat freightning, but I agree with you. It is a dump.

Obviously, the Valley office isn't interested in having a miniumum of 10,000 for every game.

The shooting background sucks too! Depth perception is difficult.

Did you listen to the dweeb from the MVC talking a bit ago on TV how much they love St. Louis and how they have reached 1MM fans so quickly. Granted, a few years back they had great crowds but it's been going down every year since then. People in St. Louis could care less that we are there and I think the merchants in the area feel somewhat the same way.

Move it to KC to a nice new arena with a great downtown and I bet the arena will be full for almost all sessions.

I know it won't happen anytime soon but next time it comes up for bid, we better take a hard look at moving this thing.

Two years in one city then two years in the other between KC and STL keeps it fresh and the cities need to be competitive and put on a good event.

STL takes the Valley for granted.

Quality of ball has gone down overall in The Valley the past several years, and that could make a difference. Valley 13-14 in conference power ratings I think; back over 3-4 years ago, usually 10 or better.

Between the CU and WSU fans the sprint center would be filled.

Duct taping the floor may have been the funniest thing I've seen on a basketball court this year. Even moreso than whichever MSU player it was got called for a T at UE for illegally defending an inbounds (stepped on the end line) in the final minute

KC has to actually WANT it first. St Louis does. KC would be quite a bit closer for me but I vote to leave it in St Louis (unless or until SLU joins).
