I don't know about that, but there are going to be a lot of pissed off alumni who have to walk to the Schott for the Skull Session
I'm sure there will be a movement to get it registered as a historic place and therefore won't be demolished.
Needless to say I will be one of many Buckeyes who would be sad to see the Cameron Indoor of the Midwest demolished.

can't see this happening anytime soon... SJA is the home to a number of Buckeye teams currently, including volleyball, gymnastics, and wrestling. Where are those teams supposed to play if they lose this building?

By the way...it's St. John Arena. There is no "s".

Ding Ding. They're more than likely to get a new place to play at.darbypitcher22 wrote: can't see this happening anytime soon...

As for ol' St. John looks like a pile of deferred maintenance on the place. Either renovate into something smaller, or build something new completely

Would hate to see it happen for all of the above reasons....that being said, it has started to become an eye sore with all the other renovations in that area. I either needs renovated, which probably isn't cost effective...or taken down.

I briefly read through that PDF that was posted.
SJA will be renovated or knocked down according to that plan. And the renovation would take it down ti 6,000 seats....

I agree with it being an eye sore now. Real estate is too valuable to OSU to have St. John just sitting there. There's no reason why something smaller couldn't be built for the other sports, or they could just move to the Schott.

Wow you sure showed me, what a well thought out and intelligent response :rolleyes:CinciX12 wrote:Lol.krazie45 wrote: I don't know about that, but there are going to be a lot of pissed off alumni who have to walk to the Schott for the Skull Session

Again, the elephant in the room no one else wants to discuss is where the skull session will be if SJA is torn down. The Schott? The "Athletic Village"? (Which by the way is socially a terrible idea. Completely separating athletes from the rest of the students on campus provides disadvantages everywhere).

It didn't warrant a response better than that. You are obviously biased and that is going to have an effect on your opinion. The vast majority are going to disagree with you.krazie45 wrote:Wow you sure showed me, what a well thought out and intelligent response :rolleyes:CinciX12 wrote:Lol.krazie45 wrote: I don't know about that, but there are going to be a lot of pissed off alumni who have to walk to the Schott for the Skull Session

I see, well I'm wondering where this majority is...believe it or not there are a few more buckeye fans out there who are not on ohio chatter.

Don't confuse the football fans with the basketball fans. Because the fan base is reduced to about 1/100,000th.

Even the football fans use St. John arena as I've pointed out...CinciX12 wrote: Don't confuse the football fans with the basketball fans. Because the fan base is reduced to about 1/100,000th.

I get what you're saying, but skull session isn't a reason to keep the building.

It would be sad to St. John Arena go, but how many buildings can you justify keeping if they aren't serving a useful purpose any longer?

Currently it does serve a useful purpose. It houses men's and women's volleyball, gymnastics, wrestling, skull session, freshman orientation, and various events (such as Obama's campaign speech in 08).Al Bundy wrote: It would be sad to St. John Arena go, but how many buildings can you justify keeping if they aren't serving a useful purpose any longer?
When they build that new small arena like planned, then it will be obsolete...but it is not yet at that point.
