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?

Yeah, right behind Gampel.

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.
