My take on his statement was that a lot of the money that would have been earmarked for facility upgrades is going to have to go to offsetting revenue losses due to COVID. I did not get a good feeling about it.

I have hoped all along that attendance next year would be a MAJOR factor in deciding on seating capacity going forward. I'm convinced the teams that Oats will have will sell out Coleman on a consistent basis. It would be a shame to spend millions on a 8-10,000 seat arena and realize before it's opened that we really need 15-18,000

That 600 million is a 10 yr fund raising goal and we are 2 years into it. Phase one included the football stadium, the sports science bldg, and one of the minor sports. Phase II included bball. I think previously they were leaning toward gutting the inside of Coleman and making the seating capacity smaller. Who knows what they are exploring. Could be tear down and rebuild. Could be larger seating capacity than they previously looked at. Maybe some type of plaza where the students can stand around and look at their cell phones like zombies. Its obviously at the top of the project list now, though.
