Article says the capacity won't change

I'll do my best to reserve judgment until more design renderings come out, but I just can't shake the feeling that we needed a new arena. Everything about the current Hump screams 1975 aside from the practice facility, and I have a hard time believing that a renovation that's primarily focused on premium seating is going to do all that much to change that.

I don't know. I'm glad to know that we're doing something, and I'll gladly admit that it's still highly enjoyable to go watch a live game at the Hump. Just wish they'd bring back the Bryan jalapeno dogs

Which one of these does NOT belong on the list:

[FONT=&quot]The Hump has also hosted a number of concerts including Jimmy Buffett, Tina Turner, Nickelback, Alabama, Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, The Commodores, Sheryl Crow, George Strait, Garth Brooks, Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, Reba McEntire, Vince Gill, Dierks Bentley, ZZ Top, Jack White, Hank Williams Jr. and James Taylor.[/FONT]

Ha! I missed it the first time I read it. Nickleback is mostly the victim of a meme going viral. Can't say they are in my spotify playlist but the **** they get is not really fair. They sold a lot of albums. If they really **** we wouldn't even know who they are.

Haha exactly. After 10’s of millions of albums sold, suddenly nickelback sucked.

I was going with Jack White.

I was there for the Dylan concert and it was 17ing awful. This coming from someone who appreciates Dylan.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

That was a pretty decent show. I was really impressed with the opener — Chicano Batman had a great set and they were hanging out near the back of the floor while Jack White was performing.

If they don't fix the student section then this renovation is a waste of time

They left off Young Joc.**

That was a weird combo that night. He was followed by Blues Traveler.

 

[DawgInThe256]

Can't believe the Statler Brothers didn't make the cut. My parents drug me to that concert pretty soon after it opened. Barbara Mandrell was supposed to be the opener, but she cancelled and was replaced by Grandpa Jones.

nor does it need to..

Dan Fogelberg came in Spring '82. He played several really slow ballads in a row w/ lights dimmed and just a spotlight on him. When he started the 3rd one crowd began booing and he walked off stage, stayed gone for probably 10 minutes. He was terrible, but the little honey w/ me LOVED him and loved me for taking her so it up being a successful night after all

 

[Shamoan]

i agree. we are in the sec. with no major facilities project on the horizon as dnf winds down, im not sure why we are going with the lipstick on a pig approach. kinda disappointing.

 

[randystewart]

They left out the infamous Widespread show.

What fixes does the student section need?

 

[patdog]

What the heck did they expect at a Dan Fogelberg concert? Great singer, but not exactly a rocker.

I was at that one. I don't know why they booed, that's what you get with him.

 

[StillTbonewannabe]

I went to the Sheryl Crow concert. Saw Goo Goo Dolls and Tonic also. Trying to remember others but getting old sucks.

I assume the new arena is not being considered because we recently spent a good amount on the practice facility attached to the current arena.

With that said, if they wanted to attach the new arena to the new practice facility it could still be done. Place the new arena in the parking lot area between the hump and the Sanderson Center. That would be the only way to play in the current facility while the new one is being built, and would give us more room behind the baseball stadium in the future. Re routing Lakeview Road would not be that hard to do either.

As much as I like the current hump, pretty soon it will just have to be replaced.

Y'all boo'd Don Fogelberg off stage for singing slow songs? Damn

LA Guns with Cheap Trick. I thought it was later 80's though. Whenever it was, I was there...

At least he fired LT for us.**

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

I saw Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

but not at the Hump.

Dirt floors and all.

Extremely talented group.

Heart, Valentine Day 1979. The Springsteen and Joel concerts were really good. Bruce was sick with fever and played 3 hours.
