They are provided, but apparently fill up and there are long waits which make some students late for the game (or, for some during bad weather, they just give up and leave). They used large busses for the "big" games, like they do for football. At these games the student section was full well before tip-off. I hope in the future there would enough interest to use the busses for every game.

We had bus shuttles available back in the late 90's but I usually walked to the Joel.

which is why a monorail or a hyperloop are the two best options.

How difficult would it be to put an arena underground? Just dig down 100 feet below the parking lot behind Wait Chapel, have DR pay for the 7,000 person arena, have people enter via the tunnels beneath Wait Chapel, call it the Joel Mausoleum and be done with it.
All the olds can park at the Joel and walk since apparently it's not that bad of a walk.

i'm so in
Leading up to the tip off, the entire crowd can chant "om namah shivaya" over and over again progressively louder and louder and faster and faster until by the end everyone is screaming and totally freaking out. We will win every tip !

No way DR would pay for an arena that is at least twice as big as we need. 3500 seats or less or GTFO.

What if we had the captains stand at the jump circle staring down the opposing team, and just eat a heart during warmups? It would be great to get the heart of any animal mascots of the visiting team, but that could be too difficult. If there are rules against forcing student athletes to eat animal hearts, we could probably at least get the assistant coaches to set up a rotation. Like if you had the scout last game, you eat the heart this game. I'm sure that bearded trainer would do it every game.

In that case we could just retrofit Wait Chapel to seat 3500, put in a basketball court on the north side of the building and just have fans on one side of the court, Jai Alai style

Plus playing in a church full of people smeared in blood would be downright medieval

If we renovate the main court in Reynolds, that would solve our stadium problems. Let there be tryouts, and the 350 most involved students (combined with the 100 biggest donors) get tickets to the game. Refuse to let the other team have water. Make them change outside in the parking lot between Kitchin and the Pit (or down by the pool).
If that doesn't give us a home court advantage, I don't know what will. Think about how low the roof is!!!!

I am super intrigued by the idea of an underground stadium. Think about how the University of Mexico has "The Pit," and it's totally famous and hosts NCAAT games, even though nobody really cares about New Mexico basketball because they're busy doing peyote and talking to cactuses and being extras in Better Call Saul, simply because that stadium is slightly underground. It's not even fully underground like ours would be.
Nope, we put this puppy waaaaaay underground, like a couple of hundred feet, accessible by tunnels and, for the purposes of ADA accessibility and also for the kitsch factor, those little minecarts that they use in Temple of Doom (another TOD reference !). You're telling me we don't instantly have the most famous arena in college basketball?
Consistent the whole death and Satan theme too that we've decided upon, we call it the Catacombs, and we line the whole thing with bones and skulls and stuff.

Think of the possibilities. Wake's campus tunnels could be connected directly to the Mausoleum. It makes too much sense not to happen.

We should spend a little extra cash to make it seem like we are right on the edge of hell itself and invest in some sulfur deposits to be networked into the HVAC units.
