Beeghly
Cimo7:
Duquesne and RMU have beautiful facilities. Especially in comparison to beeghly. If I’m a recruit I would want to play at one of those beautiful gyms or an empty ancient beeghly?
goodnews:
Does anyone know/believe that this is actually going to happen? Donor money is being earmarked for support areas. This includes Stambaugh and Beeghly. These updates to some degree benefit all sports.

We’re they able to get financial support from PNC, UMPC and others to pay for any of the renovations?

Haven’t been able to find a specific financing plan besides “corporate investments, private donations, and a state grant.”
Safe to assume - UPMC and other Duquesne athletic sponsors helped tremendously.
Penguin Nick:
UPMC was the driving force of the Duquesne renovation, they provided much of the money.

Which is why comparing the situation at Duquesne and at YSU makes no sense. We lack a corporate mega donor and wealthy individuals have little interest in basketball. Makes for a tough situation.
I will add something else. Although the seating is outdated and terrible, there are features in Beeghly that are very positive that fans do not see. Renovated locker rooms, state-of-the-art video room, that weight room that you can see at the corner of the west deck.
