STADIUM: Construction Updates

[madDOG]

Slow afternoon....so here's a question for the board..........

 

The Powerball is $450 million this week. If you won, would you donate some of it to the Athletics department? If so, what would you insist it go towards? Lower bowl built-out? Field house? Baseball stadium?

[Michigan_Dane]

100% yes.

 

Lower bowl build out would be my requirement.

[danefan]

Yes.

 

Full lower bowl build out.

Indoor practice facility.

 

[Dane96]

I would go with the same as Danefan...with a caveat.

 

I'd go with full lower bowl...and a combo practice facility/football hq that would be match funded by the University to some extent, with some money going to the SEFCU upgrades.

I wrote this post then realized I should write this sentence before it. I AM 10000000% KIDDING WHEN I MAKE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT! I'd give it all to the coaches to give to recruits to get them to come to UA. Isn't that how all the big schools do it??? OK, now the serious part of my post. Lower bowl, indoor practice facility, baseball field upgrades, new scoreboard for SEFCU. Man, I wish I would win the powerball.

1. Indoor multi use facility w/ student rec., open field and of course - INDOOR TRACK

[UAalum72]

Bribes to get Albany AAU membership.

How about a baseball and softball complex........I know I am a broken record....its time that they have something that somewhat resembles a division 1 facility!

 

I am for the indoor practice facility provided that other teams, like baseball, can utilize it! Its a winner for everyone.

Duplicate jff's facility on the east side of the field hockey field, on the softball field, & on the baseball field.

Complete the lower bowl. Build a new arena, 1/2 the funding by me & the other half by the university. Name it after me of course.

Use the sefcu as the indoor practice facility. (it looks like a practice facility already, not a modern arena)

1. Seat back chairs for Volleyball

 

2. Finish LAX facility (bathrooms concessions)

 

3. Expand SEFCU or build new indoor track facility

 

4. Second level on home side of Multisports facility

 

5. Visitors side of Multisports facility

 

6. Move student excercise and workout facility from SEFCU into Campus Center expansion.

[danefan]

4. Second level on home side of Multisports facility

 

 

The Second Level is going up at some point this month. It's included in the first phase.

Which brings up a question I've been having.... when 1st phase is done, what will the building behind home side seating have(besides the press box area)?

Offices, concessions??? How about in the elevator tower and the opposite end?

Baseball.

Improvements to the raac to make it a facility "worthy" of hosting LCC every other year or hosting another team if LCC no longer wanted to play under fair terms .

Press facilities, luxury suites, concessions, restrooms, merchandise store.

 

No offices.

 

The lower level of the elevator tower will house be of the ticket windows. The other ticket booth is n the north side and you can actually see the foundation now.
