NOt real sure Marietta seats 10 cubed.

never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Ban Johnson Arena - 1,457 capacity. We will never play there.

I'm not so sure we even bring that much for your average exhibition... but it does seat 10^3.

NKU was a D2 school on their way to being a D1 anyways. I don't really think that's a good enough comparison to warrant a trip over to Marietta for us. It's too small.

Right ..........those bleachers with painted seats on 12 inch centers are gonna squeeze that many folks. When is the last time most of us have squeezed our backside into 12 inches.

In my mind, the capacity is not a factor.

Been to Marietta. Whilst I love history and gyms of all shapes and sizes there is no way parking, concessions, seating and locker room placement work for an OU invasion. That is just unacceptable even when filled with John Rhodes fans of OU origin wanting to see his ONU team let alone a Groce team that has some swagger.

Why would any of that matter? We don't have OU invasions for our home exhibition games much less a road game. Personally I think it would be good practice for upcoming road games. The crowd would be much more into it than any other exhibition we would play.

All proceeds went to the Corey Cline foundation, so I am sure the charity event was part of the reason Kent traveled to Wooster.

So, more than double Marietta (and unbelievably not that much less than BGSU!).

Still - NEVER GONNA HAPPEN (Unless, the charity event exhibition example mentioned on here - could be a compelling case for that - but wait, the charity could QUADRUPLE their $ in the Convo......)
