auburn4ever 1,266 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I'm not sure what this all means. What is the AD and others wanting to build and does this have anything to do in growing Jordan-Hare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least let the school of architecture to have the opportunity to put forth a design. Similar to what they did with the basketball arena. I have to think 3 years feels incredibly long in football terms. This means Bo Nix will be a senior st the earliest when it’s open. Saban will be 70. It’ll almost be time for yet another presidential election. Kids with their learners permits will be legal voters by then. I’m so annoyed by this snails pace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the AD and others wanting to build and does this have anything to do in growing Jordan-Hare. Think of it as an athletic complex strictly for football players and staff. Weight room, coaches office, film room, sometimes dining, usually lounging and games all for the football team. Most real contenders have already had these and that’s part of why we’re a top 10 recruiting team not top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Plainsman 948 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I need these two steps to happen before I can truly believe. Step one is a new rendering. Step two is shovel in the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is repeating my previous post but the idea of having where you practice, hangout, study, and bond connected to where you compete just seems so cool. Plus, not a bad idea to walk recruits through there before a game. Edit: so long as they still do some type of tiger walk. I agree, I love the idea. I think what will end up happening is they put the FOF over by Lem Morrison where New Row is. I just hope that we don't halt all discussions and plans for the north endzone until the football complex is completed. I enjoy going to Auburn games, but every time I do, I am bothered by the aesthetics of the interior and exterior of our stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The north endzone is in a dire need of a facelift. Imagine an attached FOF with this as the interior of the stadium. (or the two screens on the corners instead of a massive one) Love this idea. Wish it would get some consideration instead of being set on the idea of building at the old track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeek 16,657 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I wish I had an ounce of a clue how to render. It’s so perfectly clear in my head a gorgeous design for the North End zone. If we stick to $60 million we’re going to be extremely disappointed compared to our peers. My hope is that, since they haven’t set a budget there’s a chance that we up that number. Quite bluntly o think $120 million would be needed based off figures from similar facilities. I don’t think Greene is sold on the importance of a facility like this to recruiting.

Are y’all insinuating there are REC moles that have been working inside AU’s AD and BOT? And that’s why we can’t have nice things? Genius! That’s got to be why this thing has been stalled for damn near a decade. They should’ve struck while the ion was hot after the 2010 NC and then upgraded it after the 2013 NC appearance. Now they’re telling us it won’t open for THREE more years. Only the viciousness of the REC could execute this kind of scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
