Looking good, but sunset is a bad time to bring up the live cam. I shoulda looked earlier.

What are we going to build next? A new Hump?

Why? Seems next to useless to me, but then I'm not a tennis fan. Probably somethng to do with Title IX or whatever it is.

Even the US Open for tennis in New York and Wimbleton play outdoors. And they even play on dirt sometimes .... **

If I remember correctly, we're the only SEC school that doesn't have an indoor tennis facility. And McCarthy Gym isn't exactly a paradise even for emergencies. AJ Pitts is a nice enough playing venue, but a nicer training facility would be great. Plus, men's and women's tennis have been two of our more consistently successful programs as of late. They might not draw huge crowds, but shoot, I say give them what they need.

I think after baseball and tennis, they're looking to do the Hump reno - premium seating (whatever that looks like), extensive concourse work, and making the exterior match the newer athletic facilities (brick and glass). Then it's potentially back to Davis Wade for North End Zone work. That's the schedule as I understand it from hearing interviews with Loafers and IB.

"Then it's potentially back to Davis Wade for North End Zone work."

What type of work are they going to do in the North End Zone?

Also, only 1 of 2 (unm) in the SEC that doesn't have a swim team. Sure, not a money-maker/blah blah blah, but it is a great Olympic sport and usually fields outstanding student athletes.
Really bites, my son is graduating hs this year, has offers from some major schools but can't go to MSU due to their limited sports programs.

Sorry, I meant South End Zone. I'm trying to remember what they said about DWS updates. It's hard to keep truth separate from speculation. I feel like a combination of bowling in and renovating/replacing the M Club is pretty reasonable, but I think they're avoiding saying anything solid on DWS because it's so far out. We have several major projects to complete before we get there.

It is a shame we cannot fund a facility and athletes for swimming and diving.
