The real fans (like me) are excited. There just aren't very many of us

17,000 is still a great crowd in a building that holds 20,000, is the home of the two-time conference champion, and is only about 7 miles from Manhattan (altho the only public transportation out there is by an inconvenient bus).

There's rarely any excitement or electricity at a regular season game. The fans get more excited when they start tossing free tee shirts into the stands than they do for anything that happens on the court.

The team loses $20 million a year. I guesS that's why they want to move.
