To Build or Not to Build?


This topic is about as common as who'll will be in the starting lineup next season. Should we build an new arena, add on, or just keep what we have? I grabbed an image from Google Earth of the area around the Hump and the best spot seems to be the site of the old Ag and Bio Building. I've seen a master plan showing a large architecture school on that site, but it seems to be an ideal area for a new practice facility. Personally I think we should do some upgrades to the Hump, keep it around current seating capacity, and build a state of the art practice facility on the Ag and Bio site. it would be stone's throw away from the Hump and would be what Rick has been needing for years now. I would also like to see a MSU basketball museum and a larger section dedicated to Jack, similar to what Arkansas has at Bud Walton.
Mark 10:52"Go," said Jesus, "your faith has healed you." Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.

i agreen.. keep the hump, but with some minor upgrades.. there's no reason to replace when nothing's wrong with it.. especially the atmosphere.

Just curious, why do we need a practice facility? Where do we practice now, besides the hump? Whatever the case, if Stans says he needs something, then I am on board.

Arliss, I love your site and especially love that Christian flavor you add. Have you ever heard of "the way of the Master"? It will change your life regarding how you witness to others. Check it out. Thanks again, ForestryDawg

Keep the capacity the same for now until we can routinely have 9-10K for EVERY game. I understand we made a couple extra million this year with the new ticket plan. The demand should just continue to increase.
