Tennessee has the prettiest empty arena in the SEC (that's not a joke).

I wish they'd start up work on Neyland's south side. That's been stalled for some time as Hart cleans up Hamilton's mess.

Agreed. Very nice place to see a game imo.

Hopefully the new roof is more attractive than the old one. TBA has always been one of the best college arenas on the inside but I've always thought the exterior was ugly.

Tennessee can afford this?

Easily one of if not the top basketball facility in the SEC. What Pearl did in that building was remarkable.

LSU needs to do something ASAP with the PMAC. I think it looks like shite, but I don't think anything is even planned.
Tenn's looks great. Well done.

Yep. We spent our reserves on facility upgrades last time (Hamilton got burnt when the economy crashed) but that's been cleaned up. We were never broke just low on reserves and had debt service to clean up.
We rolling again now.

I really like the stacked suites up top. I wouldn't mind seeing something like that done at Bud Walton someday.

Looks like gerbils would love it. 
In all seriousness, that looks very nice. Love your bball building despite that awful orange theme.

That was after the boxes and scoreboard were installed, right?
