Adding a book, with words, to the library?

There are already architectural plans for this in the Broyles Complex. Recruits have talked about being shown the plans more than once.
I hope its something really nice, and maybe add a few more skyboxes to the stadium.

Maybe you and us could split that money and hire new DCs.

I'm jealous becasue Ark. has a great passing offense this year. Seriously Malett will be a star in the league.
and believe I don't want to see LSU play Ark and get lit up.
Sorry for the light hearted library joke

Arkansas Facilities Upgrades
When I looked at your thread title, I was hoping you guys were going to bulldoze War Memorial Stadium. Then maybe we could make a trip to Fayetteville.

Fayetteville seats 76k right now. 4k of that is removable seating that should be replaced with about 8k permanent seats. They don't sell those seats to ticket holders. They put the student section overflow in them, so they aren't always full. Plus, they're temporary crappy bleachers.
The foundations, and the infrastructure is already there for 8k more permanent seats.
We could upgrade to 80k literally within a month if we desired.
The facilities upgrades will most likely be a total revamping of our current locker rooms, meeting rooms, and everything used by the football team, aside from the workout facilities which are already top-notch.
I believe that if/when we expand Razorback stadium further, we'll drop down to playing 1 game a year in Little Rock. I would love to see the LSU game in Fayetteville. Its long overdue.

I would really like to see them just alternate sec teams in L.R.

Our worst-attended Fayetteville game this year, vs. a D1-AA school still had 7k more people at it than the biggest crowd ever at War Memorial.
I'm sick of sending SEC games to Little Rock.
Parking is a big headache in Fayetteville, but a new 1500 space garage is opening up on the northeast side of campus this summer. That should help out a lot.

Good Lord. This is the truth. You have to park at Jim Bob's house in the Boston Mountains then walk from there

We're limited by the topography. I've noticed that most SEC schools have LARGE campuses compared to Arkansas. We're only 350 acres. We don't have very many surface parking lots and our buildings are closer together. Thats more "urban" and greener I guess, but it makes parking garages a necessity. The new one will be the 3rd on-campus garage.
I'd wouldn't mind seeing one built somewhere along Razorback Road, maybe where the current intramural fields sit, or in conjunction with a new HPER complex.

Will any future additions bare this name: The Nolan Richardson (fill in the blank) Bldg.
Posted on 11/3/09 at 4:12 pm to partsman103
Yes, but technically not on campus.
I personally plan on opening the "Nolan Richardson's Suits and Boots" store on MLK (formerly 6th Steet).

If the Big Guy pays the money. All new bldgs these days carry the names of hot-shot donors. Nolan surely has enough cash to make a sizeable gift, but I don't see him doing it.
Now, I do believe that we will one day see Nolan Richardson Court at Bud Walton Arena. Not sure when that day will come, but I hope we see it in Nolan's lifetime.
