I agree with you to an extent


Please understand that I mean no criticism, I'm just a facilities junkie.

It's easy for me to say UF should aim higher, as I don't have to balance the books. And as I stated before, LSU will most likely go nearly the same route when renovating the PMAC that UF did with the O Dome.

A new arena at LSU is a fantasy, considering that the basketball practice facility is relatively new...and attached to the north side of the PMAC...and the new gymnastic practice facility was just completed adjacent to the PMAC.

The best scenario LSU fans like myself can hope for is a renovation that adds suites and/or court-side club seating while keeping capacity about the same.

Really hope your AD reconsiders not flipping the baseball stadium.

I don't take it as a criticism. It is a debate among Florida fans, many aren't happy we decided to dump so much money into a renovation of a building that no one sees as the long term solution.

An issue for us is that the O'Dome is very much a multi-purpose building. We don't need two arenas, so we'd have to build a new swimming & diving facility, a new gymnastics practice facility, etc. It would take a while.
