Notre Dame's athletics complex isnreally well done. Honestly, their entire campus really is one of the 4 or 5 nicest campuses I've been to. So smart to have the basketball arena, the hockey arena, and the football stadium all compact. With alot of parking right there.BaylorGuy314 said:whitetrash said:That is actually a very close replication of Purcell Pavilion at Notre Dame.Yogi said:I don't know, I'd think your face would have to be at least a little straight to appreciate the potential of this:baylrballa said:

I don't think it will be a fail. I do think it would have been nice to have it next to the other sporting venues and keep all the sports in the two locations along the river right there.Swart Dra said:
The arena downtown will be an utter fail. This is such a dumb decision. It should be with the other sports venues.
But the location is not bad. Just past the Robinson tower and close to many places that students live downtown. It is also closer to the older dorms on that side of campus. Even the ones along 8th street like Collins, memorial, alexander, etc. are closer to that then the FC. Then you have Penland, Martin, Brooks, The north village that are all really close. The FC site is really only close to the apartments over there and the new East village.
So the distance to student housing seems like a non point when you really look at all the different locations of student housing.
Parking wise/traffic wise it will be difficult but no more so than going to the football stadium.

Why are people concerned if the BB areas is on the city side? >75% of BU's student live off campus and wouldn't walk to Ferrell either. Why cater to the Freshman class only? People who come into town for games want access to the amenities (hotels; restaurant; entertainment) the city side has to offer.

I think the location is fine but I think people that wanted it by the FC were also thinking about the student housing at that end of campus (the apartments) between U parks and about 12th street. But probably just as many students live in the apartments and loft on the other side of 35 as well so I don't get that thinking.Wicked_Wombat said:

honestly the student argument is comical seeing as how few attend most games sadly. Those that do and will attend are going to attend regardless of location.cowboycwr said:I think the location is fine but I think people that wanted it by the FC were also thinking about the student housing at that end of campus (the apartments) between U parks and about 12th street.

Distance has nothing to do with it.
"Sports corridor" is what needs to be created.
35 kills that.
FCS was closer to pat neff than it was to Ferrell
maybe we should re- route I-35

Oh I agree completely. BU could build the new arena in the middle of campus, with covered walkways into it directly from dorms that are right next to it and most students still would not attend.T-REX said:honestly the student argument is comical seeing as how few attend most games sadly.

blah, blah. blah. Three pages of blah, actually.
Ten years from now, smart people will wonder why Baylor didn't build it where they're gonna put Hurd's Howdy Hut? Talk about a poor use of campus real estate.

And...wasn't the BB areas put "on hold" in August with OU.UT announced their departure from the B12? Is it back on? And...has a decision even been made as to where it would be build...its all speculation at this point, correct? [new guy here...bear with me]
funding through the city is current hold up as its still being negotiated. If city puts up the money then it will be next to Robinson tower. Next regents meeting also isn't until Nov so that has held up any new announcementsWicked_Wombat said:

That would be ideal, but there won't be city funding or entertainment value at that corner. Your delusions of failure are well known, and you'll be proven wrong, again again again.Stranger said:

Yeah, putting the doorway of the university at the doorway of the university is stupid. This whole thing will fail just like you said McLane would fail.

I haven't been to restaurant yet, but I sampled all the beers a couple of months back and they're legit. The brewmaster knows what he is doing. They claim they brew the way the monks did it 200 years ago. Don't ask them what they think of IPAs.
