Unless I missed this when I was up for the home opener, but I noticed near gate 3 they have a huge sign up now talking about facility improvements that are upcoming. With the picture of an auto cad drawing of what they are going to build

Was at a presentation yesterday with the architect and Alex. They say they’ll break ground after this season on west side upgrades.

Correct. Construction will begin soon on phase 1. We still have several million to raise but the university is being very sensitive to Helene victims and timing. Dr. Brown has done a superb job leading through this Catastrophe.

I met Kelli Brown yesterday for the first time and she is very nice and seems bought into athletics I agree she is trying hard to improve athletic facilities and she is very easy to talk to and down to earth. She has a hard job and her heart is in the right place. I can tell when I talk to her that she genuinely cares about our students and the students and their experience is her first priority. I am glad that someone is finally building something. It’s a start.

In fact, the architect implied that the existing press box couldn’t be removed. If I remember correctly, the master plan calls for the upper part of the east side to be completely removed at some point
