Getting there, it’ll feel like more progress when they finish putting up the exterior walls. I know they’ve started it on the left-hand side. It was good to see the concrete poured for the seats. We’re getting there. does anyone know if we are still on track to open up this fall?

Campus construction updates will be presented at the April 27th Board Of Trustees meeting.

Looks like she is gonna be a beauty!!!

Looks intimate. Will it have cup holders?

I thought this was interesting:

The heated concrete is needed to make sure the ground below the rink doesn’t freeze causing ice heaves.

Should be a good week for construction progress at the rink.

In the last 2 pictures it looks sooooo tiny. The latest doesn't even look big enough for a rink. Will be on campus tomorrow for my son's orientation. May have to drive down and check it out.

If you get in take some more pics. The Boneyard has a great tradition of on-campus spies.

I realize it would affect overall size and everything else but it seems like adding 2-3 more rows around the rink is such an easy task to add a few hundred more seats.

Agree. It doesn’t seem like it would materially add to the cost, but if that were true, I’m sure they would have done it. I’m hopeful that you are baked in places that can be expanded. I’m pretty sure Cavanaugh said as much. So, much as they did with Gampel, they can add seats and increase capacity.

Way too much activity to get good pics. I took some from a dirt mound across the street.

@Fairfield_1st Nice! We don’t generally get to see that front view.

As part of my "most excellent adventure", I toured Werth, Burton (but not Shenkman), Morrone Stadium, Elliott, Freitas and then the pics of the new rink. At some point I'll take the time to post my "adventure". Rizza was the only one I wanted to but couldn't get in.
