Volleyball moving to the Schollmaier

[TxFrog1999]

I'm sure Top will have all the details tomorrow morning, but this just arrived in my inbox for the AD:

"The TCU volleyball program begins a new era as Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Jeremiah Donati has approved for the team to play its matches in the Ed & Rae Schollmaier Arena, beginning in the fall of 2020. The program will hold its competitions in Schollmaier Arena after spending the past 24 seasons in the University Rec Center."

Is this a good thing? Always heard how great the volleyball match environment was.

It will be awesome if season ticket holders have an assigned seat vs. first come first serve. Helps with parking too!

Hate the idea. There will be too many lines on the court for basketball unless they can be removed. Will look like a D3 school.

I’d think they would just lay down a different temporary volleyball court on top of the basketball court. Maybe something a little bouncier like this.

This is a great idear. Now Steel and others similarly inclined can sit on the ends--ie.., looking at the long end of the field--so we can look at the gal's posteriors without wearing the sunglasses.

Believe that TCU has looked at doing this several times before, but now the fake pandemic has finally triggered this move. Instead of 1000 to 2500 TCU volleyball fans crammed into the Rickel court bleacher seating each game, they can spread out six feet apart in individual more comfortable seats with access to better bathrooms and concessions. If they add alcohol sales to the mix, well, let the good times roll. Is it possible to turn TCU volleyball into a revenue sport?

you added a few zeros, right?

Love this. Have wanted to attend games with the fam, but always sold out. Can't wait!

Nope. Go look at the VB game results/stats on GoFrogs.com. They list the attendance for each game. TCU VB typically gets 1000 - 2500 each game in the Rickel.

I'd rather move all Scholl sports to the Rick for atmosphere reasons... But TCU wants the money, and for fans to be "safe." Whatever.

i didn’t realize they had that big of a crowd. college girls in volleyball shorts - that is 1k - 2.5k people making a good decision.

A friend of my family was a D1 VB player and got offers from about 20 different programs before going to aggy. She loved tcu and would’ve attended if they played at the Bball arena. She thought the rec gym communicated a lack of support for the team.
