In my view, replacement is the way to go. It has already

been renovated, there is only so much you can do with it.
Littlejohn has served it's purpose well over its useful life, but I think we need to go with the replacement option.

I just hope we don't build an arena like SC's

Way to big for CU games. Littlejohn is small and traps the noise making for a very good home-court advantage. SC hardly has one with their 21k arena. No need to get too big.

Agreed. We don't need a much bigger arena, just one

about 10-12k, but with nice, modern amenities and revenue sources, like a level of private suites. Plus have a ring around the court for students.

I think replacement is the way to go. I will miss Littlejohn Colesium, having attended many games there and even getting 2 Clemson degrees there. However, replacement will speak volumes about the commitment Clemson has with basketball.
We don't have tradition to sell, so we need to sell something else. A new arena will show that we are not a football only school. The commitment, along with playing in the ACC, and the appeal of the university and town of Clemson could be the perfect storm for developing a fresh start for our program.
