Why is the SMU bench now on the east end and the band on the west? Change for change's sake?

I asked Malcolm Farmer about this and he said it was to make it harder for the visiting team in the 2nd half. The old setup had the visitors shooting 2nd half free throws to an empty 2nd level behind the basket. The current setup has the visitors shooting at a basket with the student section and the band. Usually there are also more people in the 2nd level behind this basket as well.

I thought the changes were great, especially moving the band. I assume the east bleachers will be pulled out for more student seating when we play teams like Memphis.

The basketball facilities improvements have been amazing so far, and I wish we could snap a finger and finish everything right now.
