The RACC, er..SEFCU Arena on Wikipedia

w00t! My first post!

 

First let me say hello to everyone- I'm a UA Alum ('97) and I'm real glad I stumbled upon this website. It's great to see our school getting so much national attention these past couple of years. I live in Atlanta now and getting to see a few games on TV down here was truly amazing. I never thought I'd ever see 'Albany' on a NCAA bracket, let alone twice! It's really cool, and I only hope the success continues.

 

Anyway, someone really needs to change the pic of the SEFCU Arena listed on Wiki! The shot is taken from the back and looks like a very unimpressive cement wall. Maybe someone has a recent shot of the interior or front entrance to replace it with. Might as well present it in the best possible manner, right?

Welcome aboard. Interesting information on the Wikipedia site. So just out curiously I did a search on the county owned area in Albany and found that UA has just as much mention as the other team in town. And obviously this was updated in 2006.

"Current tenants include Siena College's men's basketball team"

"The University at Albany has used the facility for past games against Syracuse University and has been approached to use the facility for some dates in the future in the wake of their participation in the 2006 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament."

 

 

As far as getting a better picture of the RAAC/SEFCU, I know there is a great interior shot of our game vs Vermont that got UA their first of 2 straight NCAA basketball appearances. I don't know who has the rights to the picture.

Looks like a cement wall? Duh! However the university has this picture which at least puts a little color in it. http://www.albany.edu/news/photo_archive/a...ages/RACC01.jpg

(Quote 1) Wow! I thought Siena owned the place.

 

(Quote 2) Very interesting comment. I wonder who made the first move(s) referred to in this part of the citation.

 

Anyway, it's good to see some nice positive info out there on us.
