FAU Receives $7.5M Gift To Name Arena - FAU Owl's Nest
MY thought is use that as the seed $$$ to build a small (6-8K) arena/convocation center and not "waste" that amount for cosmetic changes. WE WIL NEED netter facilities soon if not now!!!!
WE are in a smaller version of the old BigEast, let's get with it, perfect time to start is NOW IMHO!

i’m not sure we have the capital to start over and build a new arena. I hope we figure out how to break down some of those wall and make the current arena a bit biggerPosted On: Nov 16th 2022, 3:47 PM #410308
Agree!
get rid of the north wall where the score board is and connect the east and west stands creating an U

The land is the biggest asset, so who knows what happens in the end…you can do a lot with 7.5M.
▪️ Toss the old drawings out the window
▪️ Architectural firm will be secured
▪️ Gift to be used to "reimagine" the facility
▪️ Focus on getting everything possible out of it
