Saw where they had pulled a lot of rows of Coliseum seats and put them outside. Couldn't say what the plans are whether cleaning or replacing.
Correct. We were in Nac yesterday and saw the seats, and the lighting improvements on Wilson. What I found out was the seats are removed from section 122 (?) for the new tunnel, which will be similar to what is now on the south end. They have to remove the entire section to build the tunnel. Once it is done, all but about fifty seats go back.SFA Jack Fanatic said:nacluth said:

Interesting. I wonder if they're removing some of them on the east side, even temporarily, to prepare for the eventual connection of the arena to the performance center. (Just wildly guessing here. I'm probably getting way ahead of things...) If so, that would make the Coliseum a bit more intimate this year.
Can you take one in daylight?nacluth said:
Maybe hard to tell from this long range shot with my iPhone, but this is the northeast corner of the Coliseum along University. They have taken the wall from the corner to about 100 feet out. On the left side of the pic, you can see the roof of the tunnel going down...at least that's what it looks like from the road.
I guess I had assumed that the tunnel would "tunnel" under the current concourse, but at least to my untrained eye, it looks like it will start higher up.
It's summer school, Ryan. Stopping in the middle of University Drive should be a piece of cake.nacluth said:
I'll try Ed. I stopped in the road to take the picture which was probably easier at 10 at night than in the day, but I'll see if the day shots can orient you more.
Thanks. Looking good...nacluth said:
So it was. So my night shot was from a similar angle to the second shot.

Went to the UH/Cincy game Sunday and saw the Fertitta Center. Looks a LOT like what we are getting (Just a liiittttlllleee bigger) facade and all. On a side note, i plan on catching a game there this year. I REALLY want to catch the UH/Oklahoma State game...

When my son, a UH grad, was here on leave from Afghanistan a couple of months ago we sneaked into the recently renovated Fertitta Center (someone left a door unlocked). It is a VERY nice facility. When I win the lottery I will make a donation to SFA that will make the Fertitta Center look like HBU's barn in comparison to ours. (I guess I'd better start playing the lottery to increase my odds of winning.)
Yes. For both men and women.BigJack85 said:
Will the new practice facility (Basketball Performance) include new offices and locker rooms for MBB? That was my guess. I also expect them to remodel the south side of WRJ for WBB? Thoughts , insight?

No. Men and women both in the new facilities.BigJack85 said:SFAJack_76 said:Yes. For both men and women.BigJack85 said:

Second question, more specifically. Will women's basketball take over the south side (old offices and locker room) and will the men get new digs in the Basketball Performance Ctr?

Both programs should benefit from the new facility...and so glad to see that they will!
It looks freaking awesome. That's a big time basketball facility.PurpleOut said:
I'm freaking out.
Sign up to be the next BMD. I'm sure Ivey can put your money to quality aesthetic use.TallTexan said:It looks freaking awesome. That's a big time basketball facility.PurpleOut said:

And I hope that in the near future we give WRJ's facade an update to match on the front.

Which of us ever dreamed there would be a facility like this at SFA? Not me. Awesome.
