Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 2869188, member: 2141"] [SIZE=4][FONT=verdana]In an ideal world where money is not a concern and the Mansfield NIMBY crowd disappears, Freitas would be vamped to include two sheets and serve as the training facility for both UConn hockey teams with evening ice time up for rent by the local community to score some brownie points. Regional School District #19 agrees to a land swap and the towns get a bright, shiny, new EO Smith High School with all of the space they ned across the street from the Depot Campus. The old EO Smith is torn down and dual-purpose arena (to save some money) is built there that holds 14,000 for hoops and 6,000 for hockey. All of the money making seats and suites would be in the lower bowl along with the press area and 2,000 student seats in the lower bowl with 2,000 more in second deck. Maybe in time a new arts theater for about 3,000 can be built in S lot, which is next to the Arts campus anyway, replacing [/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=verdana][SIZE=4]Jorgensen. A new garage serving both can go where EO Smith's turf field currently sits. In the Commons, a mid-level hotel is added along with additional bars and restaurants (a movie theater would also be nice) to serve increased foot traffic. That also allows for UConn to add additional engineering/science facilities where [FONT=verdana][SIZE=4]Jorgensen[/SIZE][/FONT] sits and I am sure some need can be addressed on the land where Gampel as its in the middle of campus.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=verdana][SIZE=4]I'll have this all done as soon as Bezon turns over ownership of Amazon to me and I sell my stock...[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
