I haven't heard much about the Hilton renovations lately. Last I heard was that it was going up in the April Board of Regents meeting for final approval. I really hope this gets approved and is desperately needed.
I went to several Creighton games this year, and while the CHI Health Center is a different class facility than Hilton, the fan experience is much better. At CHI fans typically watch the entire half, not bailing to get concessions or use the bathroom during the action because they know it will be too busy. They mingle, have a beer, buy concessions and catch up during halftime. The Hilton concourse is really a cluster during packed games.
Expand Hilton's concourse and you would have the potential for a similar fan experience. It's time to turn on beer sales too, for the $$ and fans. I'm not aware of a basketball facility where it's been a failure.
