Details of Ryan Carr’s contract. Honestly, I thought he would be more expensive.

Me too.  Would have to think he didn't take a pay cut to leave the Pacers though.  Unless he's looking to be an NBA GM and wanted the experience.

A long time ago students used to be in the north bleachers -- I think back in the mid-2000's they moved them out.

Now they're back in the north bleachers.  Should help the atmosphere a bit.  Nice move.

Update: I heard a donation helped make this possible.  Kinda crazy.

Selfishly don't love it because you could find some absolute steals in those sections day-of on SeatGeek, but it'll undoubtedly help the atmosphere.

North and South bleachers filled with courtside students?

This. Is. Great. Truly an excellent improvement.

Here is my question. Moving the students down is part of the story.

The other part not mentioned is where those 600 people who were there before are going.

Are they getting the premium student seats in section L and M? Are they moving people up till 600 people go back on waiting list? Did 600 people drop season tickets and this is way to do a reassign to keep attendance steady?

Absolutely thrilled for students as I was one when the seats were taken away and we had ‘stand up old people’ for a few yrs.

Just a few unanswered questions here.

Awesome, students should be in those seats. It drove me nuts as a student when alumni acted like students were so entitled because we had the biggest student section in the country. So what, most of the seats were not good. You were in the bleachers most games.

Also basketball tickets alone were over twice as much as what I paid for ALL sports season tickets at the University of Texas in grad school several years later.

If we can watch preseason games on TV that would be excellent.

2 things: 1) like that shirt a lot. Very simple, very cool, 2) What is up with dude’s toes? Those look absolutely painful.
