Opening in early June per Coach Pike--One of the most important moments in Rutgers sports history !!!
6/8 is USA wrestling finals (Final X) at the RAC. I was hopeful the facility would be open by then as some high level wrestling athletes will be performing and/or attending.

I’m 100% certain they’ll get taken on a tour regardless of whether or not it’s “officially” open.
I have a paintbrush in very good condition and am more than willing to help out. lol
AYN, I know you said you used to work in the Athletics Dept.. How long has this building been talked about ?
There have probably been 5 sets of plans for the athletic facilities since I've worked there lol!
Some of the Rutgers coaches went on a tour of the interior this passed Thursday. By the way, the Athletes Lounge is indoors/outdoors.
Rather be a few days later and done right ... it’ll be here before you know it!
RUTrack, agree 100 percent. We don’t want another RAC situation— building an arena without ice or air conditioning to save a few dollars in construction cost but lose untold numbers of events and revenue for decades.
I would think most of the remaining work is interior rather than outside of the facilty.
CVS intentionally CRANKS (use to anyway...) the heat all winter long in an attempt to get her teams in shape BUT wear down game day opponents lol! It’s (or was) awful!!
Coaches moving in later this month. Sounds like official grand opening for the public will be in September.
