People seem to love Mariucci

Everybody I have talked to today, from fans to coaches to players to tournament officials, has been impressed with this site for hoops. Not too big, not too small, great sightlines, bright lights. A couple people have said to me, “Let’s have games here every year.”

We’re not going to tear down the Target Center.

I think Mariucci would have serious upside. I was at the AAAA game with Cooper and Burnsville, and I think it would have been a much better ambiance had it been in a smaller venu instead of Target Center. I can see Target Center for the finals-but for the prelminary games, a smaller venu would be way cool-and a lot noisier.
