Agree, although I wonder if it's feasible just to knock it down and put seats there and put there. That would also fix a number of "obstructed view seats."
lol…just pocket change.He said "about..."
Info I used came from College Hockey News (1/25/24). It said $40m - take a look.
I don’t really care…I’m just growing tired of all the Toscano bashing at this point, and this is not aimed at just you. I’ve been guilty of it as well. I agree with many of the points, but this horse has been thoroughly thrashed. We need to move on. Nobody is taking advice on the subject from us. That’s painfully obvious. Trying to change things at UConn is like steering the Queen Mary. Slow and ponderous. That said, I’m looking forward to seeing us thrash PC tonight. I will be there.
First step in recovery is admitting you have a problem…
The bottom one? The lack of seats behind the net just looks wrong.
Great - my real pet peeve with Toscano is the tall table lounge. Delete that and get to over 2800 in capacity and get hockey purists the "behind the net" view.
I’d like to hear of some actual plans for specific changes. Hopefully we will, before anyone has to make a decision on season tix. (Just when I thought I was out @huskymedic pulled me back in)
That's one hell of a cost overrun. It was announced as a $40M project but the articles at opening put it at $70M-$75M (citing school officials). How do you even get to that kind of # in South Dakota?
Wish they would re-do Messa Rink instead of building this crap down the road at the casino. Union won a national championship in that barn with 0 athletic scholarships in 2013-2014 absolutely incredible. Sad to see the college not be able to update their on-campus rink.Union College, partnered with the State of New York, that famously anti-union labor, cheap to build state is building....a 2200 seat rink for $25m less.
Go ahead and explain it.

Seating was also lost by putting in more sections/less stairways?
While I don't doubt that Toscano could have been built at a better cost, I'll believe the savings on this building when I see the final costs (for the record, I'm a controller for a major RE developer).Union College, partnered with the State of New York, that famously anti-union labor, cheap to build state is building....a 2200 seat rink for $25m less.

Wanna know the sad truth? They direct you to the south parking garage next to the football complex. That’s where they expect you to park for games at toscano. On the bright side though, you’ll get your steps in for the day
But they have a whole bunch of spaces wide open in the West lot. And on the map there are a whole bunch of spaces shown on the South side that are not there. This is the second year for the TFIF is it not? Are they still planning to expand the onsite parking or is this simply not a priority?
