The Iowa basketball team could really benefit from building a brand new stadium. The current configuration consists of all fans having to enter from the ground floor and travel down as many as 42 rows to reach their seats. And likewise, when the game is over, it’s right back up those stairs.
That does not even consider how terrible of a location the student section is in. As is, students occupy all rows in Sections E-K of the map below courtesy of HawkeyeSports.
Look at any Big Ten school with a solid basketball program and their students are right on top of the court.
