I wonder if I'm losing my mind. I went to multiple MBB games between 1974-1978, and I remember DMC being crowded-- maybe not sold out, but definitely big, impressive crowds. Am I wrong?Boomhauer said:Haha, it seems impossible now but I once sat in a sold out and rocking DMC watching a TCU team play that would eventually hear it's name called on selection Sunday.

froginaustin said:Gregory Gym in Austin was noisy as hell, too. Then UTx built what is now called the Irwin Center, and it is a good place for a nap with a crowd of only 7-8000 (or would be, except for the constant adds screaming over the p.a. system, but that's a complaint for another thread).

Irwin Center will be gone soon. Bet they do a much better job this time.
Yes, again. Big optimism, well-earned optimism in the late '90s.Rifram09 said:Again?

TCUdirtbag said:Fenves has confirmed and reconfirmed since the departure of Steve Patterson that the Erwin Center will go. The Powers, Dodds, Patterson era is long gone in Austin. It's an academic move, not an athletic one. It's not if but when (though by 2023). Academics will win the day on this one because the Erwin Center sucks and UT can afford a new arena. This is an academics/rankings/respect thing for UT. It's among the reasons Patterson was shown the door by the new bosses.
You have to remember UT has zero med school infrastructure. It's not like the TCU-UNTHSC where we're starting a med school on a huge health science center campus.
During the Killer and Tubbs eras, too. Glad they did not mess up those great acoustics. It was an awful place for music concerts (I remember Peter, Paul and Mary had a hard time). But wow how loud can it get with a big crowd. I remember Majerus saying it was one of the toughest venues he had coached in, after Utah won by 4 points at DMC.froginaustin said:DMC had a well-earned reputation for being a NOISY venue, in olden times.
