Covelli was a problem when they built it and YSU is not the solution ...nor is the Covelli Center a solution for YSU. They ran out of donations and built Too Small. Why waste the time to drive the players/staff over there?
1. People feel safer on YSU campus.
2. Since the former Chevy Center is no larger; there is no way we can, or would, host anything larger than we already can at Beeghly.
3. Since GM dropped their association with the building, there is no longer any name recognition beyond Youngstown/Warren. I remember when the Ice Capades shot Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons and also returned Pete Cetera (of Chicago and solo fame) at "the beautiful Chevy Center" in Youngstown, Ohio ...for a national viewing audience. Now I realize that keeping the facility open is more important than the name on it, but it just lost it's flare. YSU has a more broad name recognition. When you guys talk about bigger schools playing off campus, you are also talking about facilities hosting major entertainment acts that people drive very long distances to see ...so the facility name means much more.
