The first phase is expected to begin in the spring and be completed by late summer 2017. The time frame for the second phase is to be determined.

Love it, obviously we have the AL, Georgetown just built one, and now Providence. This is a good sign that the Big East is healthy and can keep up. Not to mention, lots of the power 5 schools are pouring money into football facilities, we only have to do basketball facilities so we can lead the way.

Xavier is getting a Cintas Center upgrade, DePaul has a new arena on the way. Butler poured money into Hinkle too IIRC (at least a new scoreboard)

They did a more comprehensive renovation - new seats and stuff and IMO they needed it - was charming place, but getting tired IMO - was kind of underwhelmed at the MU game a couple years ago. Glad to see that they freshened things up.
