Have they broken ground on the new arena?


No but I can tell you what I've been told from the inside. The announcement will come this late summer/ early fall, it will be built on the current site of the band practice field, it will hold about 10K capacity . down from the 15K Coleman, It will be two tiered seating as to bring all seats closer to the floor and a 2200 seat student section will wrap 3/4 of the way around the court. all but 1/4 of the seats at floor level will be student seating only. Coleman will not be torn down and will be used as a training center for "olympic" sports.

Don’t think there is near enough room at the band practice field. You sure it’s not over by Bryce?

better location than what I heard they were looking at. At 10k, Bama fans are going to get to experience stupid high ticket prices like at AU.

much needed to get the blue hairs that sit on their hands off the floor

I’m sure it will be great once it eventually happens
