Stadium: Architecture, Engineering, and Design AWARDED!

[Phoenix]

Dear UAlbany Season Ticket Holders,

 

I hope everyone has had a wonderful start to the warm spring months. I just wanted to take a few minutes to update everyone on a number of different things going on in the Athletic Department.

 

1. Construction has begun on the new multi-sport complex!!!! The SEFCU Arena Parking Lot is still open during gamedays but one of the sections has been closed off for the construction crew.

 

2. Within the next few months a live feed of the construction will be available for free on UAlbany’s Athletics website. This feed will keep everyone updated on the progress of the stadium.

 

3. Details for next season’s football and basketball season tickets is currently being worked out. We will have more details in the coming weeks on ticket information.

 

4. Lastly, the annual UAlbany Great Dane Golf Classic is June 4th. Alumni Association is sponsoring a discount for the morning flight of $175.

 

Thank you for making this past basketball season one of the most successful in school history, we greatly appreciate everything you do for this program!

 

Go Great Danes,

Brian Rudolph

A live feed. Holy cow, they may be finally "getting it."

 

Kudos, ADept...and McElroy who had to approve that cost!

Announcements 100x larger than a stadium's ceremonial groundbreaking are made on facebook, twitter and/or other social media platforms.

 

 

Email and newspaper announcements out now; and I still insist "social" media is not appropriate for professional announcements. I do not use Facebook or twitter. It is not that I am not computer savvy, it is just that I do not have any friends. Maybe we could have gotten our stadium sooner, if people had gotten out from behind their social media and actually went to a few more real social events like live football, basketball games, etc.

Phoenix nothing personal intended, just me being prejudice (another word for stupidity for sure).

Tomorrow's Groundbreaking will have a live stream:
