J As for Winston-Salem's prospects
for the tournament, 1991
9*ems the soonest the Twin City
?oukl be able to host the world's
largest combination fashion
;&ow-party-reunion-athletic
event.
'* But that's only five years away,
tni now ?is the best time to
prgamze a campaign of city,
business and community leaders
'4p make an impressive pitch,
v J: Unfortunately, despite the
potential economic benefits, the
jfity's business establishment
. jieems . uninterested. WinstonSalem
State University Athletic
Director Clarence "Bighouse"
Oaines said last Thursday that he
is unaware of any local efforts to
lure the CIAA here.
* "The coliseum people here
Jiave shown no interest," he said.
?'The Chamber of Commerce
people here have shown no interest.
With a 14,000-seat coliseum,
why not?"
? ! Bucky Dame, the operations
manager for Memorial Coliseum,
laid the city is interested in the
tournament. '
? [ "It's been discussed," he said,
>.-^1 -*
>, vui uiiui wc una a completion
date (for the new coliseum's con?'ilmcrion),
it will be hard to go
;after anything."
? Ground is supposed to be
broken for the new arena "late
rthis fall," Dame said, but no conduction
bids have been taken
;yet. It will take roughly 26 moniths
for the new coliseum to be
completed, he said.
j Which would be well before
{I991? even if there were construction
delays.
* Winston-Salem has so much to
goffer, though it seems reluctant
90 sell itself.
t For one thing, it's the home of
CWinston-Salem State and its proud
athletic tradition.
* For another, it's also the home
2>f Gaines, the nation's winnIngest
active basketball coach.
r-..j If the plans are any indication,
jtbe coliseum promises to be the
xfcnterpiece of the pitch.
| Its 14,000 seats will surpass
i^tkhibond, Hampton and Norfolk,
and it will be large enough
)o seat a big crowd but intimate
snough for basketball.
> Twenty-thousand-seat arenas
;4end to be cavernous, sterile and
Njuiet, and they often give fans
-the impression that they're Bob
Uecker in the upper deck,
fitness the profitable but
^characterless Dean Smith Student
^Activities Center in Chapel Hill
>jor the money-grubbing NCAA's
-decision to hold its finals in dom:ed
football arenas where Kareem
t Abdul-Jabbar might look like
^Tyrone Bogues, depending on
where you sit.
Also, Winston-Salem will support
the tournament, as will nearfey
Charlotte, where CIAA
member Johnson C. Smith is
fecated, and Greensboro, whose
?lAA ties are still strong, thanks
?p North Carolina A&T's former
Membership in the conference.

'They have a (CIAA)
itthool - they have everything,"
tit said. "Winston-Salem State
$ias good attendance. The people
jjf Winston-Salem are very supportive
of the program."
Granted, the MEAC Tournament
bombed here in Memorial
Coliseum, but it bombs nearly
Everywhere, and no MEAC
school is located in the Twin CiIn
short, the CIAA Tournament
would be a boon both to the
City's economy and its new coliseum's
prestige. It also would be
ftoe of the largest, most lucrative
sports events the city can hope to
fttract, since the arena will be too

* How about some initiative
from the black community,
perhaps involving businesses,
WSSU alumni, booster clubs and
Qreek-letter organizations?

here within five years if,
like Smith-Barney, we're willing
to earn it.
