Yeah, that's one for sure ...burgbacker wrote: ↑Mon Feb 18, 2019 9:20 am I love the Convo, but in this scenario, I think the games get played at a place like The Nutter Center in Dayton.
That's why I said "where on the list"

Well this scenario is closer to happening than many realize. As for the Convocation Center, as a facility would be very high on the list, however, the city of Athens is not viable as there is not enough parking or hotel rooms needed.93Bulldog wrote: ↑Mon Feb 18, 2019 7:17 am For entertainment purposes, lets say The Schott and St. John are not available for some crazy reason one year ...
Where on the list would the Convo be as a viable option? How many venues I'm wondering would be looked at first? And the Q is out as well, they have the Cavs or MAC tournament.
OHIO Dominican cannot hold the crowd and teams for single session DI game. Covelli will be 3,500 capacity and again is the site for OSU sports that will be in the crucial stages in their seasons. BGSU nor Akron are large enough venues.formerfcfan wrote: ↑Mon Feb 18, 2019 9:26 am Ohio Dominican would be the most likely option in Columbus. Unsure if the Covelli Center would be available.
The Convo would probably be rivaled by BGSU, Wright St and Akron in terms of viability.
Agreed. I went to volleyball state tournament at the Number Center. Ideal place imodanicalifornia wrote: ↑Mon Feb 18, 2019 12:30 pm I feel like the Nutter Center in Dayton would be a good option. 10,400 capacity, plenty of parking, and a ton of hotels nearby.
Obviously, I don’t know the inner workings of things, but that sounds like it would be solid to me.
Uh, too centrally located?
UD Arena would have to be available, it’s the most used site in NCAA history and has the longest current streak of use. The new upgrades make it the nicest facility in Ohio.LucasDavenport wrote: ↑Tue Feb 19, 2019 7:54 am 1986 and 87 they moved to Hara Arena in Dayton for some reason.
I truly believe if they couldn’t use Columbus they would move to Dayton again. UD Arena would be first option as the state tournament is usually during Sweet 16/Elite 8 weekend and it’s free. The Nutter Center is a great 2nd option.
Well, for your information, lower level seating is going to open up at the Schott this year. As for Convo, there is only 2700 seats in the lower level, so I’m sure someone would complain about not getting a good seat and someone else getting one “they don’t deserve”.yabbadabbadoo wrote: ↑Mon Feb 18, 2019 10:13 pm How would they do the seating at the Convo? Would the administration guys and coaches get the lower bowl and the real fans get stuck up top?
Would be the reason they would never hold the Final Four at the Convo!
Disagree, you had to shuttle to the RV lot at Schott, Athens has the same capability.
Right!

Regardless of how badly some think these games should go back to St John areana, the owners of the facility have said NO. So, in light of that what do you expect the OHSAA to do? Just show up anyway????SEFan wrote: ↑Sun Feb 17, 2019 11:28 am
Why isn’t it available? I thought last year it might not have been because the Ohio State women were hosting 1st and 2nd round that same weekend, but that’s not a yearly thing.
On top of that, shouldn’t those NCAAs be at Nationwide or Schott? I believe I read the men are at Columbus this year for NCAA first and second round. Which depending on that price, might take fans away again.
Well I was going to ask the same question but glad I didn't now ,LOL.
