I barely even recognize the Hump…

after the upgrades.**

I’m guessing/hoping this is the non club level side which doesn’t show what they did.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Simple, not over the top, court design…

I kind of thought more would be done but it’s good.

I cannot tell a difference. Also, I’ve not spent a lot of time there, except for a game here and there, in many years.

 

[ArcherSPS]

Every day I thank God that John Cohen is no longer our problem. We should've built a new arena.

 

[HailStorm15]

From what I've seen, it doesn't look that different. Still gonna be behind most of the SEC

 

[patdog]

Looks the same as it always has to me.

1. The court can now properly drain flood waters
2. The courtside seating is gone
3. To honor Mike Leach, we removed the player bench seats as well.

To answer #2, I think that's where some of the student section will be moved.

Any pictures looking back into the new club level area?

 

[bhamdog54]

What a joke that they didn't replace all the chairs.

 

[MSUDOG24]

Any pictures looking back into the new club level area?

There is one on GP (looks like where this one came from). Basically black cushioned seat in the center. Little surprised at all of the fussing about the actual arena looking no different when the plan and info from the start was always going to be updating the entrances and concourses/bathrooms/concessions and adding a "club". I think the actual arena is perfect for watching BKB.

I'd copy and post the picture but the last time I tried to post something I blew up the site, ain't doing that again.

 

[L4Dawg]

That's the other side from the club. The majority of the rest of it is the entrances and the concourse. That was what was really needed.

I hope the above picture isn't it. This was the rendering when it was first announced.

Cohen said you would be able to see the floor when you walked into the building. I don’t see how that’s possible from these pics.

Will have a 50 inch insignia they got on clearance at Best Buy hanging at the entrance so you’ll technically be able to see the floor

Good news: No more "Starkvegas" in the baseline
Bad news: They kept "The Hump"...

Should be "Mississippi State" and "bulldogs", put "The Hump" under the logo at the top of mid-court

On the bright side looks like we’ll get free matching t-shirts for the white out

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

I was in the renovation camp but this is pretty pathetic. It’s like saying I’m going to renovate my house and all I do is spackle and repaint with the same colors.

They could have done a much better job than this.

 

[The Cooterpoot]

Looks like it is.

Put that thing up! It doesn't look THAT good!

Another John Cohen production. I know the cost is crazy, but our cheap asses when cheap again.

If he had borrowed money when it was cheap and materials weren’t so high we could have built a new arena. Instead we stockpiled cash for whatever this is.

But at least we have the great seating bowl!!! No way to replicate that

 

[MSUDOG24]

Not a good angle of the pic. You could see the floor from entrances last year. One of the major things they did during early construction was to knock the walls out by the entrances and new club level but it is not a 360 view.

The “materials are expensive” argument doesn’t work for me. The planned renovations and initial renderings were announced in October 2018, pre-COVID and pre-crazy inflation. We were always going the cheap route with this, the rising costs just gave us a convenient excuse.

 

[OG Goat Holder]

Biggest thing for me was getting rid of the 1983 exterior of the Hump. I've never really cared about the inside, except for the fact that club seating makes money, so we need it, and there's a demand for it. Curious to see what it looks like.

It's the Mississippi State way.

 

[Yeti]

It will never be ready

 

[Darryl Steight]

Y'all will b!tch about anything. Think I'll at least wait until I go to the first game in the arena before I complain.

Just f'ing win, baby.

Not that I am blown away by any of it, but I do think it will look much better once the actual “club” part is completed and there isn’t a tarp covering it. Right now it looks like we just put in a bunch of black chairs.

here's the press release on the renovations, watch the video

MSU Announces Humphrey Coliseum Renovations - Mississippi State

STARKVILLE – Already boasting the best fans in college basketball, Humphrey Coliseum will become one of the premier arenas in the nation as major renovation ...

Here is Dale Partners overview of it in case you havent seen that yet. Yes DALES We are free to be extra salty up in that Hump. Also note that it comes with robot fans wearing the correct shade of maroon and that walk around and fill it up on days it is not a sellout***

The outside doesn't matter at all. It's the inside that matters.

And something tells me we’d be sick if we found out how much was spent on this

Why do anything if you can't do it cheap.

this reminds me of the north endzone attempt at VH. Pathetic

 

[Coast_Dawg]

First year architecture students could have done a better design than the actual outcome of the changes if the pictures above are truly the renovated images.

Is this a life lesson?

Calling this half-assed is being too generous.
