100% right.In this day and age, Wake doesn’t need to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a new basketball arena.
Look, is Joel the perfect arena for us? lol of course not. Can we still win a decent number of games there? Of course. In an ideal world, would we be better as a program if we had a smaller arena that is more Wake-y, closer to campus, harder for road teams, etc.? Definitely.
But the time for raising and spending tens of millions on a new arena has come and gone. Given the massive upheaval in NIL, conference affiliation, transfer, and other mechanics over the past few years, we’re much better off spending what resources we have elsewhere. The Joel is fine-ish/good enough.
