Anyone else think they should add a BIGGER selection of beers at EBA? I wish there was more to choose from.

And $1 beer

What kinds of beer should EBA have?

Anyone else think EBA should also have coffee and wine also?

EBA needs to have tables for people to sit down and eat at

Last time I checked EBA is a sports arena not Starbucks or a restaurant.

This has always been this way and always will. Comparing Mason to G.W., not an exact match,( because the G.W. is a true "City School"/Urban Campus whereas George Mason is a Suburban Campus/Commuter) but its close enough. Students Mason faces many of the same obstacles as G.W. students. In essence, the Constant Horrible D.C, traffic: Neither Foggy Bottom nor a 'Suburban Commuter School' located just off Capital Beltway with no direct access to a main thoroughfare, provides the optimal environment in which build school spirit. Also, social environment of both of both G.W. and Mason is dominated by the myriad of alternative presented by Metro D.C.. Its interesting to note that the only school that Mason is above "in game day attendance" is located in Downtown Manhattan, arguably the only place in the A-10 with "worse game day traffic" than D.C.. Richmond and Dayton are not true comparisons because of their "semi-real redneck environments. vcu is also not truly analogous to Mason, in that as the City of Richmond's social environment often makes a vcu student's weekend choice 1. A road trip back home to Northern Virginia to do their laundry, 2. .Doing their laundry in one of the Dorm Laundromats or 3. Attendance at a vcu Basketball game. Which would you chose?

Small fact check: Fordham plays its home games in the Bronx (Rose Hill). That is an 85-acre campus that is more a mini-version of Mason's campus than that of GW. It has 4,000 students living on campus. Indeed, it still would have traffic issues, but the main reason for poor attendance has been poor performance of their teams.
Fordham does have a Lincoln Center campus in Manhattan, but I'm pretty sure no basketball facilities there.

Correct- Fordham has attendance problems because of poor attendance. I assure you they don’t get game day traffic much at least from when I have gone to games there. I will say they at least have spruced the gym up since my original visit.
