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.

Excellent. So you're certain we can go in on Oct.22nd and check it out?

Thats the date on the Campus Rec website.  There is still some work left to be done but I don't see that work taking longer then 2 weeks.

Re: Post story about the Arena

I drove past the Arena yesterday and it definately looks almost ready to open.  There is still some paneling that needs to be put on the slanted roof in the front of the building, but that is something that won't take long.  It is almost all landscaped.  The outside looks great!  It almost looks like a new building.  Great job by the athletic department on this project!

There are 8 new pictures on the fausports site.  You can see that the outside is nearly complete, just some cosmetic things left.  The lobby looks just about good to go as well, but the chairback seating and scoreboard still aren't completed. Hopefully they'll get that done shortly.

I went in today and was given a personal tour by Rex Walters. He was absolutely great.

The place is very nice. It just needs a little touch-up (graphics) here and there… and people, of course. However, if we are to move to the Big East, we're going to need a bigger, better facility.
