interesting that 1999-2001 we didn't top 13k attendance, any reason why?
 
Our fifth undefeated Hilton season!

I notice, however we take the Kansas game this year, that Fred has 2 of the best 7 home seasons in Hilton history already. That's not a bad start.
Thought Fred was riding on fumes in Dec and needed gassing.

we weren't expected to be that good. I felt like the conference title kinda snuck up on me and towards the end of the year I though, ****, we could really win this thing.
 
Another interesting note: Of the top 5 attendance totals, 2 happened with Hoiberg as a player and 2 as a coach. Don't underestimate the power of Fred in all of this.


So...Fred -- IS -- Hilton Magic? Coincidence that Hilton Magic reappeared last year after things officially turned the corner to a positive trend? I think not.
 
I feel it's time to expand capacity at Hilton and make it the largest Basketball arena in the state. There was talk about it a few years ago and the smack coming from Iowa City was loud and envious.

How would you even do that?

I remember talk of adding suites a few years ago, but nothing about expanding. I would assume suites would actually be a slight decrease in capacity. Got any links Go2Guy?
