SEFCU Reno

I thought the old fitness center should be the merchandise store, but it could be the HOF room. I thought the new fitness center was going into the old pool area.

Sports Medicine in the HOF room is a temporary location while PE goes through a top to bottom renovation. Teams will be getting new locker space in addition to a new location for sports medicine. Expect HOF room will end up in its original location.

HOF ceremony this year is at the Crowne Plaza 9/29

 

• Wayne Anderson - Football
• Joe Greene- Track and Field
• Frank Resetarits - Men's Lacrosse
• Corrine McConville - Field Hockey
• The 1973 Men's Cross Country Team

So, phase 2 to pe has been approved?  All the work you mentioned (new lockers, new offices, sports med) were part of phase 2, per my understanding.

IDK, that’s what Nate told me as a follow up to the Broadview tour. Didn’t give timing.

The PE Project involves three parts...

• Enabling - moving portions of the occupants and functions out of PE and into temp facilities (SEFCU/Broadview being one location)
• Phase 01 is the reno of the Basement and First Floor Levels.
• Phase 02 is the reno of the remainder of the PE Building.

Things may change somewhat depending on the timing and funding, but expect the work to go on for several years.

Thanks Brutus.  Really appreciate it.  Any chance you can give a high level description of what is targeted for Phase 1 or Phase 2.

Couldn't see much visible progress in the arena today, except they were painting the floor behind the baseline.

However at University Gym they were unloading the new bleachers for volleyball

Anyone hear any additional info on when season tickets will go on sale and when the process for choosing your seats will begin? I've had the same seats for the last 8 seasons and I'm hoping to get similar seats ...

Based on my recollection from my tour of the renovations, an information brochure should arrive mid-September-late September via mail and/or e-mail, with dates to pick seats around mid-October; however, I have heard no updates.

I am certain that the powers that be are debating pricing.

Just realized after looking at the seating chart that the main logo will be upside-down as you enter from the lobby/ticket office. I suppose because they plan on the video cameras on the other side?

LOL, my recollection was right.

Looks strange to me that the purple seats are up top? The seats I actually want are in the white section meaning on $75/seat donation? Feels like good news at the moment. Guess I'll have to see what makes the purple seats worth more before I decide. I'd rather be closer to the game than the concessions. 

I've heard there will be expanded beer wine and soda in the arena now. Maybe you have to be in the purple to get an adult drink?

It's site lines. The purple seats are bigger. That's the big draw.  The white seats are brought in and out.  The purple seats are stationary.  I sat 2nd row and loved it, but I'm told the purple seats are a better view.  We will see.

It might be in this thread somewhere but what is the premium for section 104 and 120?  Seats aren’t great for hoops.  Is this a food/drink section?

100 per seat, with a 275 GDAC donation.  It has the larger, cushioned premium seats and is the "Club" section with food and drink.  For 31 per game, all in cost with donation, it's not bad.
