I think I saw Mil Mascaras no-sell the Red Blaze 45 years ago at the Los Angeles Forum. Beat him in a mask vs. mask match, thus derailing a promising career for the Red Blaze.

It just hit me for some reason that I can't quite put my finger on that the St. John's Firestorms is a name I could completely get behind.
Well we've essentially been the St. John's Dumpster Fires the past two decades so that's a good extension on that lol

Perfect. Instead of bringing back flag boy, the school can audition students who can look and imitate the Jack Torrence character the best.
Look at how many marketable ideas the red.fans brain trust has come up with in this thread, without the university having to spend a dime.

Piggybacking on The Warriors theme "The Basketball Furies"
The seatbacks were added to parts of the upper bleachers before the 2022-23 season with no additional ticket charge.
They did the best they could do because the upper bleacher sections at CA are made of cement so there is limited space and the existing seatbacks on one side of the courtside seats would not fit.
The other courtside bleacher section collapses and folds, so seatbacks are not possible.
Before it gets asked again, Cragg looked into improving cooling at upper levels as games wear. With the current configuration also not possible.
With only 5 games at CA, it really doesn't make a lot of sense to invedt the money in an arena makeover. Villanova had plans to tear down the pavillion and build a new larger on campus atena but with too much community pushback, did a $60 million renovation, all from donations and without expanding seating.
While the basketball facility project focus has slowed to NIL and short stays due to the transfer portal mobility, I'm not sure that mass improvements to CA will be forthcoming. It would be nice tbough to have better food and beverage quality at concession stands.
It is what it is, and I agree on the five games part, and also on not doing much now. Personally, I believe the "seatbacks" installed made things worse as the legroom shifted from appropriate for a small child to appropriate for a toddler. But I also know they got a ton of heat to do "something" regarding seatbacks. I will say with a more crowded Carnesecca anyone who was getting back pain from no seatbacks will now get it from being kicked in the back. It can't be avoided.
I'm hoping within a year or two it is nothing more than a practice facility, and then none of it matters.
I would vote for the Red Rising and the emblem could be a bright red sun overshadowing the city since we will be rising again. Honeslty the storm should be put out to pasture. I still dont know why we cant go back to redmen and keep the same logos we have now (its been so long since that name has been tied to native americans and SJU can even state its our schools colors and men as in man kind). Would never happen though.
A new St. John’s floor for MSG would be awesome but might not be practicle. It would mean the cost of the floor, assembling/disassembling it and storing it when not in use.
As it is now, all they do is change the logos/decals (they are adhesive “stickers”) on the Knicks floor. If our game proceeds a Knick game on the same date, they just have to remove the stickers and replace them instead of removing one court and installing the other one.
