I'm hoping before the end of this year we will get the architectural renderings on the stadium improvements to EJ Whitmire. I am also hoping the architectural firm avoids a cookie cutter design that looks identical to what they've done with other stadiums in our area.
The firm we've hired (McMillan Pazdan Smith Architecture) has done Elon, Mercer, Coastal, Lenoir-Rhyne and many others.
I just hope we somehow avoid the boring red brick design and instead continue with the rock facade look similar to the new residence halls. Something that fits our mountain setting.

i don't think we will due to not being even close to the money raised needed to start building

I was fortunate to get a tour of our current facilities at Homecoming and saw the plans for the entire upgrade that will be done in phases. We have money, but certainly need more. Julie Miller would be the person to reach out to if you want to contribute. The plans are awesome and certainly no one in the SoCon will match it and much of the rest of the FCS either. Really there are FBS schools that won't have some of what we will have.
Go Cats!!

have they told you when phase 1 might even start? I assume they would have to start in the summer as to not affect football season

Why not reveal the plans to motivate people to give?
