St. John's eyeing monster non-conference schedule during 2024-25 season, in discussions to play Duke at Arthur Ashe Stadium and Alabama at MSG

QUEENS — St. John’s is attempting to put together a monster non-conference schedule for the 2024-25 season. Speaking on Friday after practice at Carnesecca Arena, Rick Pitino exclusively told College Hoops Today that the Red Storm are in advanced discussions to play Duke at Arthur Ashe Stadium...

I love the Arthur Ashe idea

 

[dk423]

Wasn’t there also talk of UCLA in Vegas to open the season?

Wow at the US Open stadium? That's awesome!

I know. It will be quite a racket.

Rothstein hyperbole may be rubbing off on me, but Duke at Arthur Ashe might be top 5 all-time eyeballs for our program.

Me too. Confident they will serve an ace schedule.

It will be a grand slam event.

I believe AA has a roof? Gotta think it’s needed given the time of year it will be played.

Of course, I just saw this.

Retractible one built after the fact I think. You definitely wouldn't want an event this damn cool struck by El Niño weather next year.

Not sure how the tennis court and sideline dimensions line up with the size of a basketball court, but we could have 22,000+ fans there.

This is something I would fly in for if I could get my hands on tickets.

No it’s going to be like the winter classic in the NHL. Listening to Rothstein sounds like we should be winning the NBA Championship in June probably in a four game sweep over the Denver Nuggets.

This is St. John’s so you never know…the roof will get stuck and it’ll snow!️

Great way for US to OPEN the season If they can do wrestling there we can play there

 

[red green]

That schedule is going to be crazy. Pitino is making power moves that I would have never imagined at Saint Johns.

Yes, retractable after it was originally built at many millions more if they had just built it like that to begin with.

Maybe Pitino can get Edge and Christian to wrestle at halftime. Biggest crossover event in history of sports.

 

[dk423]

If Ashe is included in the season tickets, it’s reason to buy them.

Calling it now. Next season Gavitt games vs. Michigan State at East Lansing and Big XII challenge vs Arizona at one of our 3 professional venues.

Been saying for yrs…you are who you associate with. Sure you need to win some too. But our logo & brand next to Michigan, UCLA, Bama, Texas, Duke, etc. is big time. If you want to be a national brand you must play others & win enough times. If we do & start being top 25 regularly with deep NCAAT runs, applications will skyrocket. This is the way. IMO to win consistently against teams like that though we will need a VJ or Ian. Fingers crossed.

Arthur Ashe has to be the biggest possible stadium, right? Couldn't see Citi Field (especially without a roof). Also 23.7K capacity at AA sounds about right for a game vs Duke (we sold out MSG at 19.8K), but doubt we could draw many more than that.

Such outside the box thinking that'll help drive TV ratings and local interest. I love it.

Being creative. Being approached by FOX personally as a program. Headlines, recruiting, buzz. I still can’t believe our BOT allowed us to have Pitino. I bet they are laughing with all this positivity asking why they didn’t listen to us sooner. Uncharted waters for those born post 1985 like me.
