| 1638350916444209154 | @BrigadierBronco @shaggiv @drunkbuster @TimJarrellAZ @WMUBroncos This is going to be a multi-use arena that WMU would be a tenant of. You aren’t going to be able to duplicate how the student section, etc is at Lawson. I’m sure it will be very nice and state of the art but you are going lose the uniqueness and atmosphere. | 14 |
| 1638378308348829696 | @WMUBroncos Give us Lawson back or we riot | 14 |
| 1638371319501783041 | @WMUBroncos Please don't ruin the experience for students by moving to a "state-of-the-art" venue... I think it's really important if you're going to put athletics in an off-campus venue that you make it just as accessable, if not more for students to go and make a great experience out of it | 12 |
