It was a good move by Carson, but he might be in trouble with Huffy now!
I’m a little confused. Why would I care?

Also a little confused at the surprise about the skyline on the floor. It’s been on the men’s soccer kit for two or three seasons.

As for the concessions. I think TU could rework their agreement with Sodexo for that side of things. The threat of seeking out new bids for dining services might loosen them up a bit.
It’s not that simple. And no, this isn’t the place to talk about it. I can tell you that it’s under discussion and I’m hopeful for improvement. I could not have said that two years ago.

Just saw this Huffy. I was teasing you after you gave us grief for calling for QT to donate to TU. You said QT people read the board and we could be offending them. Then, ironically TU President Carson just did the same thing as the posters you called out!

Btw, the joke loses it’s effectiveness if it has to be explained!

I was calling out people who were attacking QT for not being more public with what they give TU and why. And Carson wasn’t doing that in that tweet. At least not intentionally on the surface.

So with the new skyline floor, we need some special occasion skyline jerseys to match. Like what the soccer team wears. And what year(s) was it that we had the special occasion gold home jerseys. I always liked those.

So the floor design is pretty subtle in person.

What is that stage-like area they are building in the student section? For the band I assume?
Probably for the drum set and bass player and their equipment. A guess without seeing it.

Then I doubt it’s for the band. They would want the level surface for those mentioned, but the standard terracing of the seating would be much preferred over an even surface. This is why you see the 3 long rows in the Tournament’s when the bands are at floor level.

I no longer have contacts in athletics so what I last heard is very possibly inaccurate…

At one point there were plans to build a club/bar area for people to hang out and watch the game. When it was being designed/proposed it was going to require moving students to, I think, behind the visitors.

Assuming the above is an idea that never came to fruition... I'm going to guess the upper half will be for the band and the bottom half will be for students to keep them closer to the court and provide a better home-field advantage.

Maybe they brought that idea back, and that was Konkol was referring to in the ad, bout making it a great game day experience? 🤷‍♂️
