Wonder if we can recover anything from our championships in 2011 ... Similar to UK's facility but with Maui and Manhattan included. Just a thought..

God I haven't been back to UConn in so long. Is that the South parking garage/co op in the background? So the facility is where Memorial Stadium was?

Thanks. If you can, I'd love to see more picts from time to time as the work progresses.

Will do. I have a feeling it will be quite awhile until anything significant will go up, but when it does I'll make a new thread.

You never know, sometimes they throw those buildings up fast. Often they are one big shell, with the insides filled in. I've not seen the design for it. I wonder if someone here has a link to them. That would be cool!

I found this link so you can see what's it's supposed to look like. Pretty cool.

Looks like the offical groundbreaking is Tuesday, April 16th, 2013 at 1:00.
