I think widening the concourse and up grading the concession stands are part of it. Probably the visitor's locker room will get an up grade. Once you start up dating a facility all the new ADA requirements come into play so the restrooms and handicap access will need to be up dated. I assume game related items such as the PA system will get upgraded and hopefully the lighting also. There has been talk on occasion of adding luxury boxes although I have no clue as to whether or not that kind of changes are in the plan. Hopefully, someone with more knowledge on the subject will chime in.


All or even any one of those things would be great. I would assume that they would have to play at least part of a season elsewhere, since some of those changes would be a major, time-consuming project.

I believe Houston has a very nice swimming center as part of the $50MM rec center. At the time, it was bigger than A&M's. Is that aquatic center at A&M new? It sure is big.

First, there is a little bit of money owed on the Crum Center that still needs to be raised. Second, the "asks" for funding on a new natatorium are already underway. Also, I want to say that at the last board meeting I attended it was announced that a lead donor had been secured on either the natatorium or the indoor tennis facility, but I honestly can't remember which. FYI, the new outdoor stadium was funded as a part of the Crum Center project, since it displaced the existing outdoor courts. I believe it is close to completion as well.


I think the fund raising for the Crum Center is complete now.......

I noticed the team still went to the old locker room at the UAB game. Anybody know why?

Having not been to most top university's basketball complex, how does ours compare now? I'm sure its fantastic I'd just like a reasonable idea of where the Crum Center would rank.
Back off Warchild seriously.

during the tour before the season at the bball banquet, the tour guide said Doh was around for the design and construction of the facilities at ND and UNC. Went on to say SMU's would be the biggest and most advanced of the three. FWIW
