UBS Arena and MSG only miles away and better suited for college ball

First negative take I've seen regarding this. It's great cross promotion and AA already hosted a basketball game (WNBA Classic). As someone who lives right between MSG and AA (on the 7 line), the idea of playing in a unique stadium like this is incredible. Will make for excellent TV and also can fit in more fans than MSG and UBS.
If Duke and Fox are pushing for this, they know it'll be a ratings hit. Likely the most viewed game on Fox that year (not counting following an NFL game). Amazing for the league!

Yep! Plus heat. St. John's, Duke, and Fox have thought about this stuff lol.
