If I was a BE admin I'd be at the point where they need to control the ice issue or face a fine. The bradley center does it, allstate arena did it, madison square garden does it, I'm sure others I don't know do it as well.

PC pays $50,000 per game in rent and in return they become the laughing stock of the nation. And, more importantly, players are put at injury risk.
I read last night that the building does not have a dehumidifier system. The building general manager said when the dunk was renovated the engineers felt it was too difficult to install with the old infrastructure. They are having another engineer in this week to explore options. Apparently the dehumidifier system is approximately 5 million dollars but it obviously needs to be done.
The Milwaukee Admirals will not be playing in the New Bucks Arena. So, in 2016, the Milwaukee Admirals moved to the old MECCA. (UWM Panther Arena) So, the ice in the Bradley Center has been gone since summer of 2016.BMRadio99 wrote:MUBoxer wrote:feel bad for Seton Hall.

Off the top of my head, I believe half of the Big East home arenas will have ice under them during the basketball season.
Butler / Hinkle - no
Creighton / CenturyLink Ctr - can, but doesn't (can Jays fans confirm?)
DePaul / Wintrust - no
Georgetown - Capital One Arena - yes
Marquette / Bradley Ctr - NO
Providence / The Dunk - yes
St. John's / Carnesecca - no
St. John's / MSG - yes
Seton Hall / Prudential Ctr - yes
Villanova / WFC - yes
Villanova / Pavilion - no
Xavier / Cintas - no
*edit: I originally missed the Milwaukee Admirals! So it's legitimately half, and 6/10 if you count the Garden.

Got it, that makes sense! Thanks.
