Something Positive

[goldenhurricane2]

Since there has been mostly negative threads posted lately housing many negative posts by several negative posters, I thought I’d share a tidbit of positive info about hoops.

All new lighting has been installed in the Reynolds Center: nice bright LEDs. No more of those old crappy halogen bulbs that took 30 minutes to warm up. It looks really nice.

Just installed since the season ended?

Yes - As in like 2 days ago.

Are there any plans for refinishing the outside of the building. Just curious because the wear has been showing lately. The inside is still a beautiful facility though

Haven’t heard anything about that specifically, but I have heard about a possible new building coming to the athletics area.

Potentially attached to the football stadium?

Well... I don’t believe a final location has been 100% decided upon.

Where and what could possibly be attached to Chapman? There's not a ton of room in any direction to build anything of great substance. The only thing would maybe be constructing a covered concourse, concessions, HoF area connecting Reynold's and the east stands?

IPF???

IPF???

It’s not the IPF... The IPF hope/dream is long gone (unless a donor writes a huge check for the entire structure plus the endowment for its upkeep and monthly expenses).

With how our administration is going about money; I either expect new Garden shed on the East side or a sauna for the basketball staff.

A gazebo, not a garden shed!!111

The gazebo is an inside joke on AAC Conference Talk about TU's facilities, one of the troll Cincy posters thinks it is hilarious.

Gold told me it was a new Bell Tower to keep your bells in. And a very special place just for Tinker Bell. And don’t forget the belfry.

The thing that I had heard in the past was possibly connecting case + chapman. Just wondering if that was back on

That would have to be in the NW corner then right? Unless they decide to build a covered walkway tunnel area where the team comes out that is large enough to drive an ambulance through (or they get a medical golf cart to transport a player to an ambulance outside the stadium). Build an outdoor patio bar in that NW corner and add a large video board atop it.

Wonder if they could do something similar to Washington State's

Seats next to the North Endzone + Large entry way for team / vehicles.

Don't we already have that under the west stands?

That ain’t cheese under the west stands.

That belfry would keep the insect population down.

Really need a video board on the N side.
I also wish we didn't use 30% of the S board for advertising but I know they need the money.

They can use a rolling ad board like in the Reynold's Center...just put something similar atop the Case Center. I would like to see more out of town scores on Saturdays. Seems those are pretty limited. Maybe have Cali Oughton put together some brief highlights of other AAC games to ship to all conference teams to play during one of the quarter breaks. Something...and for God's sake, have enough chilled bottle water on hand for the August/September home games

That's it!!!! What does OneOK have that TU does not have? A splash pad and playground. Going in the NW corner. Want to see families flock...ad a splash pad anywhere

"World's Largest Urinal Trough".... thank you very much.

Funny you mention the splash pad in the trough urinal thread. TU sort of has a splash pad over at Chapman Commons. I don’t think you’d want one in November.

As for the idea of the world’s largest urinal trough, my concern is they try to apply Title IX and we get something else you hillbillies gripe about.

I’d be satisfied with fans.
