As one who plans a weekend visit to Kenner from out of town, I wonder when schedules and rosters might be available.

To preempt things, the answer to any question about the Kenner League will be one of the following:
Maybe
Depends
Don't eat the hot dogs

Good luck. I'm sure it will work out. I predict the Tombs are going to win it.  |

Schedules will be posted whenever the first day is and will not be accurate at any time that day or thereafter.
Rosters? Ha. Right. Most of the GU players/alums will be on Tombs and Clydes. That's about the only certainty.

Another Kenner question, albeit wishful thinking: does someone get the prodigal son of the Kenner League to make a 20th anniversary appearance? Yes, he turned 39 last week, but he's still got some skills and the place would go wild. |

Don't you guys get tired of making the same jokes every year? They're not getting any funnier.

Thank you all for the replies. I never the eat the dogs. I walk through campus and hit the Tombs after watching. I have been lucky I guess Schedule-wise when I have attended. The games while never on-time have gone off in the intended order. I usually attend a July weekend and everyone I have wished to see is still around and playing with sometimes a surprise guest eg Jeff Green.
As there is no on-campus basketball (and never will be?), my physical connection to the campus derives from these midsummer visits.

Next up is the program in a Google Doc to get rolling.
I saw Rodney Turner recently, who said he will be back coaching a team in Kenner, not sure if he involved running it again. A Team Turner and Team Takeover will have some current and past Hoyas on them as well as Tombs and Clydes.

There is a workable plan out there for on-campus basketball. Maybe a mid-summer thread. "Workable" as in the laws of physics don't rule it out or ... ? I think something involving a renovation of McDonough (more possible once the IAC opens) which would expand capacity back towards what it was in the past might be part of the ideal solution. Such a plan was discussed in the early 2000s, and I've read here it would not have required any approvals from the various boards that reject all building except dorms. I think a venue like that, which would allow smaller games do be played on campus with major games at the Verizon Center would be ideal. The best scenario would be a 8-9 thousand capacity facility like the RAC but that will likely never happen. |

I know at one point this was the long-term plan. I imagine it still is. The university needs a place where the entire student body can gather. I imagine something in the 7-8 k range would be realistic. After the IAC is finished, this should become the focus--long-term but nothing about that is unrealistic. It just takes time, planning, and eventually serious fundraising.
