PSU to replace Stott Center with new 4,000 seat arena

If it's like anything like the concept photos, this will be awesome. I've watched games at the Stott center and I've been to better high school gyms. This is great for PSU and the conference.

Cool, but 4,000 seats? Are they never expecting to get a large crowd, ever?

It's PSU so yeah, they're not. I think it's a little small, but compared to their fan interest, it's probably too big.

I wonder how much money was kicked in by OHSU? It's hard for me to believe Portland State came up with the money.

$7.5 million by OHSU

Damn. Does OHSU want to donate to the Gateway Project?

I thought the anonymous doner by the name of P. Knight was going to foot the Gateway...
