new pics up

Yep. Was going to mention that. I'm loving all the wood and the doors on the Team Store. Little concerned that the bleachers are still in – what happened to all chairbacks?

Can't wait to get in there.

That is the student side.  The plan is for chairback seating on the other three sides.

I noticed that they have the hanging baskets pulled down.  I hope they are removing those.  They are ugly and add to the "high school gym" feel. Does anyone know if they are going away??

I don't have any inside info but they are used for practice so they can run two teams,  I don't htink they can be removed.

GO OWLS!

They fold up into the rafters. They use 'em for practice and campus rec.

That picture was from 9/23, so it's possible that it has been completed.  I see that the volleyball team has games scheduled at the Burrow on the 11th.  I really doubt the building will be ready this week, though.

I heard the new "Owl Time" basketball commercial on WZZR (94.3) today, touting the new arena and its "wide-screen", "high-def jumbotron".

The Borrow was scheduled to open Mon ( Oct 8 ).  They took down the fences and BoT members toured the place Mon.  However, It wont be fully open until Oct. 22 due to construction delays.
