New practice facility!
- Thread starter redbudman
- Start date
Have had discussions about this several times in the past. UK has upped their game with their marketing and video department, but I do think they missed the mark by not doing something like this for both CWS and the training facility. That said, just get them done and they will market themselves.
I think the staff does have some kind of virtual tour that they've used for recruiting. I've seen comments from Stoops and other coaches about how they can finally walk recruits through the building now and how it's made it more real for the recruits to see that instead of "watching videos" and showing them artist renderings. You would think that the video would have made it out to the fans by now (if it does indeed exist) but I've been under the impression that there is one just based on some of the comments I've seen from coaches and recruits
Pretty sure completion date is sometime in July. ..is anybody going to open house today
Open house was enjoyable especially the new recruiting room, player room, press box, suites, Woodford Reserve area and Mitch explaining the training facility from the upper level of south side of the stadium. CWS is now a proper SEC stadium. Very impressive tour. A highlight for me was Mitch pointing to where the new $45 million baseball stadium will be built next year near the soccer and softball complex. A new indoor and outdoor tennis facility is also to be built.
Hated I couldn't make it ,but if the bb stadium is going to be built next year I sure hope we have a new coach to go with it
Very impressed with everything. I know some people complain but CWS is top notch now. More blue bench backs going in also
I am donating some serious $$$ towards the new baseball facility..even though I am a basketball letterman I support all sports..This is really needed.!!!
Mitch stated will break ground on new baseball stadium within next 6 months. Will take about 16 months to complete
Did MB say whether or not the bench backs will also be added to the upper levels also? Thanks!
Yes, that will be part of upgrades they will do for next year (2017). Mr. Barnhart stated this in our tour this morning that the whole stadium will have bench backs minus the student seats.
Well since it is the cheaters in Knoxville the artist probably added a few touches.
