roughrider Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 It's overdue for sure. The new AD earns his pay when I see the money raising plan and timeline. Good news is if it happens, Leon's performance year in and year out won't cut it. We may get a new head coach that understands March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battle.borne Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 The rendering is lifeless and boring. Very typical of modern architecture to suck all the beauty out of a building under the guise of minimalism and LEED cert.

Lawlor was built in 1983 and it is definitely lifeless and boring.

It does look more like an insurance company headquarters than an athletic facility, but you'd really have to put it in the perspective of how it fits in with campus to judge.

My best guess is it will have to include some brick, as that's the flowing theme of campus buildings/facilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All The newer buildings all kind of look like that, but with some brick accents. I imagine that would be similar in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing would make me happier than if CSU were to rescue the scoreboard, the best floor in the conference, the light up uterus, and bring in some dynamite for a fresh start. Good on BSU for taking the step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of agree with you that it does not look like a traditional arena but it would be such an upgrade from what we have right now and it would ensure we can keep hosting NCAA Tournament games, which I think is the big thing.

NevadaFan Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 This is great! I want the Pack to run Donk basketball in a nicer setting! The current venue is booooorrrrinnggg.

Why don’t they use the money to fix that extremely odd looking stadium skybox that hangs over the edge with a vertical support? That’s looked unfinished forever.

That’s looked unfinished forever. I’ll never understand Nevada fans running smack on another team’s football stadium. Yes, Bronco a stadium is not all that attractive, but Mackay, while maybe looking a bit less thrown together, is not a pleasant stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
