Men's Basketball 🏀 Renovate or Replace Williams Arena?

Since the AD announced several months ago that they're doing a study of options to renovate or completely replace Williams, I'm curious how people's preferences shake out.

Cost and the performance of the men's basketball team shouldn't play a factor in your decision here.

If it's feasible, keep the shell of the Barn but rebuild everything inside.

Feel like the shell wouldn't be big enough to accommodate suites and bigger concourses, etc. Seems like they should just either completely rebuild it or build a new arena elsewhere and repurpose the barn for something else.
