Here is the story on the BUC upgrades:
- Capacity will be up to 8,250 for the Georgia Tech game on January 12th. Whether the additional seats can be opened or not is up to the city who must sign off on the increased capacity. It is entirely possible only students will be allowed in the additional seating due to parking issues.
- A new video camera is being added for in-game replays immediately .
- An in-game ribbon board is being installed after this season.
- An in-game broadcast is being worked on for the scoreboard that hangs from the center of the arena.
- Capacity will be raised to 10,000 with additional parking built possibly between the BUC and Ponce De Leon garage in time for the McDonald's All American H.S. game which is being held in Coral Gables in 2009. This means all upgrades and capacity increases should be completed by the end of the 2008-09 season if not sooner.

Wow. Great news! I know this has been talked about for years- maybe the move to Dolphins Stadium finally gave UM the cash to make this happen.
What a freaking waste of money!
Queen Donna loves Basketball and HATES football.
This proves it further!
Why spend all this money on expanding an arena that at best is half full!
Why build a new Basketball practice facility for a bunch of lifeless losers??????!!!!!!!!
Why try and lure the McDonald's All Stars when only one ever has come to Miami and he was dissed by our fans once getting here???????!!!!!
