Yes Jeffery, I'm talking to you.
Looking at the live feed of the arena construction, I see that the inside floor level is quite a bit below the general outside elevation.
Thinking back to a few months ago, UCLA's Pauley Pavilion basketball floor was flooded when a pipe (watermain?) burst outside the Pavilion and water flowed, as water will want to do, to the lowest level available. In this case, the basketball floor.
I am curious, are most arenas built this way? Basketball level at LSU's Maravich Center is about 5 feet below street level. I think that the Superdome floor is quite a bit below street level. A I remember it, the Tad Pad is half and half.
This question is in no way a criticism of the new arena. Its just because "I'm curious, like a cat... HEY!!!"
