Certainly looks nice from the outside and you can't miss it from the freeway. Some people are not as impressed though saying it doesn't have any atmosphere. Well Yost  at Michigan has plenty of atmosphere(can't be beat in college sports) but it is a old dump. Which would you rather have? I was never at bg for a basketball game so that is one I certainly can't answer in regards to their new building.

Really? Really? With Zach and Stuie up there I love this Michigan team and go back tothe days when Tim Kuzma from Muncie played up there but please. ......"can t be beat in college sports". Dude.....Nebraska at the old arena for volleyball has more beat in it........and that is not even looking down the road at the Izzone. Cmon......we can do better. Not wanting to split hairs but there are numerous venues in college sports that move Michigan basketball down the list and that is coming from a Beilien, Townsend, Bacari close fan. never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

They just haven't since Nate Thurmond and Howie Komives. FYI, went to see Bill Brown's CAL PA squad on Saturday. It was the inaugural game in their new arena, which is fabulous for D2. It seats a little over 6k and would be the perfect size for any MAC team, including ours. I wonder if they have D1 aspirations.

But is Shaw behind the strategy of the ads that are being created or just the executions? From my understanding he's the execution guy and from what I've seen the execution of materials (creative, production values, stuff like that) have been spot on. Where I have questions is on broad marketing strategy. Is anyone really putting together 1, 3, and 5 year marketing strategies that layer on the objectives for the athletic department, and the objectives for the University? If the strategy isn't in place it's a lot harder (impossible) to move the needle. You need the integration of all of your tactics working together to execute one singular vision.  Back to Top Jeff McKinney Moderator Member Since: 11/12/2004 Post Count: 6,155 Status: Offline     RE: The Stroh Center Rap    Posted: 12/5/2011 3:39:13 PM  giacomo wrote: Anderson Arena was very cool when they had a crowd.

Not quite true...they did draw really well during the Larranaga and some of the Dakich years...but they haven't drawn well beginning with the end of the Dakich era.   Back to Top giacomo General User Member Since: 11/20/2007 Post Count: 2,734 Status: Offline     RE: The Stroh Center Rap    Posted: 12/5/2011 4:24:59 PM  Jeff, just a little literary license.

Agreed. I wasn't trying to jump all over you, my point is that while I've seen some awesome execution and tactics, I just don't think Marketing Strategy is where it should be for a University (read: business) of this size.  Back to Top intrpdtrvlr General User Member Since: 7/8/2010 Post Count: 177 Status: Offline     RE: The Stroh Center Rap    Posted: 12/6/2011 10:47:40 AM  bornacatfan wrote: JSF wrote: To be fair, Yost is Michigan's hockey arena.

I have been to yost at least once a year to watch hockey now for the last 4 years. Of all the crowds I have seen nothing beats the crowd at a michigan hockey game. Since my experience at various sites is limited once again I will never argue with another opinion on the subject. The atmosphere at the football stadium next door will never come close the the crazies who fill the old barn at the bottom of the hill. It is also amazing how many schools copy the cheers of michigan. Miami and Ohio State being the best examples. Guess they both need someone else with some imagination to come up with something unique to them.
