Sacred Heart draws 300 average for home hockey at WBA in Bridgeport, what are they going to do with 4,000 seats? They could make two lecture halls and a dorm out of the room they'll have left over.
Marist draws more than that for most of its Olympic sports.

I guess they think an on-campus arena will help draw crowds and can use it for graduation? They rank 60 out of 60 D1 men's hockey teams in attendance...averaging 312 a game this year. The women's team is 39/41, averaging 128. Edit, Shooter, you beat me to it. Odd investment decision, IMO

Someone like Chris McCann? Marist Class of '83 and CEO of 1-800-FLOWERS ? He's no G.E. higher-up, but I'm sure he'll dig deep for his old Alma Mater.

I agree with a lot of the comments on Twitter. This doesn’t make any sense and the money could be better spent

For the first time in a long time I am not aware of any in-progress construction projects on campus.
Has anyone heard any news on Dyson?
