Yes they're revealing both today. Another note on VHS... they're making the parking lot behind the NEZ into a plaza and trying to extend the walk of champions all the way to the stadium or plaza in front of the NEZ. I have no idea how they're going to do this since there is a road running through it, but that's what Pete has said

But are they revealing them to the "public" today? Or is it just being revealed to the donors that will be in attendance at the meeting?

I'd imagine it would take a few years to build a new arena.

That's fine. We really don't need a new floor design in the Sad Pad. It's fine the way it is.

The whole point of waiting until now to announce the campaign was so we would have the renderings available to the public. I'm not 100% sure we will see them at 6pm, but I'm pretty sure. And we tear up and lay down new floor every year. Everyone does this. It's not like we went out of our way to buy some new wood so we could lay down a new design on our hardwood. I like the design. It doesn't look like we're an AAU team anymore

To me, the block M is for baseball.

Baseball has just the block M. I like basketball's version with the script through the middle.

I can't stand the block M with the diagonal script through the middle, it looks like something that only women's basketball should use. JMO

he way they were talking this was going to be more of a marketing thing. I knew about the basketball arena, which they desperately needed. They made it sound like it was going to be more like states "this is our state" campaign, which would just cause a huge statewide pissing match. I may have misunderstood them though, and just wondered if any OM fans have heard anything about this?




Most OM fans have known about this for ab a month now. Not trying to be a dick, you were right in posting it bc today is the day they are releasing the renderings. Alot of outlets are talking about it within the state.

Perhaps. Even if that is the case, it says something that we're not just going to roll over and let Mullen shite all over everything.
