Beeghly Center Renovations
IronGuin14:
The Business Journal wrote a follow up on this on Dec. 30.
Looks like the athletic department is being selective with the proposed renovations and will need to raise $1.5 million to decrease the number of chairback seats along the sides of the basketball court and replace the wooden bleachers on the upper level. Under the plan, the chairbacks would be moved back from the court and gain more legroom. Courtside seating would be added. Capacity would be shrunk from 6,000 to the 4,000s.

That article was a bit deflating. Raising 1.5 million for something that is basketball-related will be hard. At least the plan now calls for replacing the seats before building those stupid loges.
goodnews:
According to WFMJ press release, ALL seating will be chairbacks including the curent bleachers. In addition, upgrades to lockerrooms and I believe the lobby. Calhoun referenced local gentlemen who believe in the program for the upgrades.

Suppose to start 4-1-24. Will this all be done by November ? That is when the season begins.
Excited.

Wow, so even the bleachers behind the hoops will be gone?
