Stadium is going to look awesome. I like the wood panels under the roof. Classy.

Name change requires BOR approval, will Fertitta abstain?

I would assume name change not effective until renovations start?

Fertitta Center will be completed and ready for home basketball games in early fall 2018, and the basketball team hopes to play the Arkansas Razorbacks in the new center, Yurachek said. Construction will start by mid-March 2017. Yurachek did not specify where the Cougars will play for the 2017-18 season.

I preferred demolition and starting from scratch over renovation, but I’m happy to say I was dead wrong. These renderings look amazing and I’m excited.

I don’t know. I still prefer demolition. I can only hope that if it’s just another remodel, that’s it’s done by the guys that redid the UC. That was an amazing transformation.
