What, if any, facility upgrades have we had going on. I thought I remember an addition being made to the Mal Moore building?

And also, I was watching interviews from fan day I think, and Calvin Ridley said he had noticed some up grades to BDS. Anything worth noting? Or just the typical up keep?

Any other facility upgrades to speak of? Or potential ones? I know we need a new aquatics center. I'd love to see a new basketball arena. I also think we need a new indoor practice facility. I know the one we have is nice and all but it seems kinda dated, I really like Tennessee's indoor facility and would like to see us outdo that.

Badly. That may be the most outdated facility we have on campus. A new one is in the works and it may have already been started, but it needs to happen now. I've been to Auburn's, UGA's, UT's, and Vandy's, and the last one is the only one that approaches the inadequacy of ours. It's just not built for an SEC swim meet. Hell, the new public aquatic center in Hunstville puts Bama's to shame. As in most sports, we have world class coaches and world class talent in the pool. We need to stop making their job harder with facilities that aren't even up to par with ones in the state, much less the conference. Rant over.

I think the signage in the tunnel and some of the recruiting areas were updated at BDS.

New dining hall going up at the Football Facility. AD Byrne did say that Coleman was on the radar.
To me, it will be interesting to see if they gut Coleman and reconfigure the seating or would they tear it down completely and build from scratch. CAJ has a lot of excitement going with the program and these young horses he has could lead to BAMA basketball enjoying some of it's better days since those of Wimp Sanderson.
