Since there is so much talk about the Pauley Pavilion project, I thought I would post a poll to get a consensus of what folks think.

I understand why they want to keep the history of Pauley but its not worth the cost. They should build a new arena that pays tribute to Pauley but fits with the modern age. If the Yankees can replace Yankee Stadium then why cant UCLA build a new Pauley that is modern and respects tradition. They could build monuments and incorprate the old design into the new arena.

i agree with anon. You spend 2xs as much or more to get a compromised design trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. I have been on too many projects where afterwards you see that it is best to tear down and start all over. Without sounding callous, maybe wait until after Coach is gone to start with the new arena.
