"This time next year we'll have a first-class arena," Angelos said about changes that will include a new facade and landscaping, chairback seats in portions of the stands and a remodeled lobby.
Wasn't sure what was meant by a new "facade", so looked it up:
Facade: the front of a building ; also : any face of a building given special architectural treatment <a museum's east facade>

Anyway, on the Arena, i'm glad that they have plans in place to upgrade the facility. It is not a bad place to watch a game, but it definately needs a face-lift. The big key for the success of this program is to start to fill the building some more. When there is 1,000 or more people at the games like there was at times last season, the atmosphere was so much better. I'm not able to go to the game tonight, but I hope that there is a bigger crowd than the first couple of games out there. Hopefully attendance will pick up when the next semester begins and more students are on campus.

Even teams like UALR and South Alabama (no football) have nice arenas.
Like FAU, Troy hopes to build a new facilty and catch up, the way it did with football and baseball (as well as softball and track).

Are they going to change the "pebble" wall look that went out of style once 1980 hit?? If they made Fleming Hall look nice, the basketball gym should be easy.
Hope they do, Fleming Hall looks brand new.
