Tear the roof off the Myd and set up a water proof Big tent with another covering protecting the court.

I haven't been there for an event in years (the Foozer tour was my last concert there, and I was invited by a vehicle manufacturer to help critique its own make and other competing makes about a dozen years ago) but it seemed almost as dated as the Anaheim Convention Center. It is scheduled to host team handball for the 2028 Olympics, but allegedly needs $50M in renovations that the feds (thankfully) won't be paying for (at this point) and neither the city nor the state (and it's much vaunted 4th/5th largest economy in the world - as Gavin and Rex beat on their chests and loudly brag) has the funds for. It's too late for a bond initiative to be approved by the legislature, placed on the 11/26 ballot, approved by (misled) voters, bonds issued and sold and projects completed in time for the 7/28 Games start.
In a pinch though, I think a dated LBA beats the Gold Mine, however, not with 1,500 to 3,000 spectators. It would be a losing proposition. Previous Message
What is the availbilty of the Long Beach Arena? Years ago we used to play there. Previous Message
The boosters need a plan from the administration
What is the plan if MVB vs UCLA has 4000 seats sold and Pyramid Leaks
Even on no rain days, they open the doors and freeze everyone out.
This weekend 3 fans fell going up the uneven stairs with no railings in front of us.
Most boosters and attendees are not students and younger fans
It is pretty obvious to me the dwindling season ticket holders are getting older.
As season ticket holders, only those on the floor seats get sears saved.
The chair backs should be saved for season ticket holders as well
Maybe print tickets with Pyrmid seats and Gold Mine seats?
This is becoming a joke.
How do you recruit and attract 4 and 5 star athletes to play in venues that are leaking, freezing cold, or older than high school gyms in the area.
I know the boosters in my area feel the same way
Most stay home for gold mine games
Pretty soon everyone will stay home for all games
We deserve a plan other than no money
