As someone who lives in Nashville but grew up a huge BU fan in Peoria I am so excited about this announcement. Belmont is a great school (my son graduated from there) and brings a great program to the Valley. They have a nice arena that seats about 5000 and the school is very similar to Bradley in a lot of ways. Similar size, also private, and with a campus in the middle of town. Can't wait to see the Braves in town. Up until now the closest drive I had to a game was a 2 1/2 hour trip to Evansville.
