What happened to the Welsh Ryan camera link that was pinned?

It amazes me that someone would decide that it is ok to remove that when the arena hasn't even been built.

I'm just stunned. Can't really describe how disappointed I am.

May I do what I know everyone else is burning for and politely ask that it be restored, for the benefit of the community?

Thank you.
 
May be small but it will be one hell of a place to watch a ballgame.

Yes, and more than just in a passive mode. It's common for a certain segment of fans to respond like it's a night at the opera, saving their voices for the occasional Bravo. If most of our purple game goers (not just the students) can actually make some credible decibels during the game, then it will be "one hell of a place to watch a ballgame."

I'm interested to see if the Wilson seats (and maybe beyond) continues to exhibit some of the same trends we saw in the old purple seats.
 
Looks like it will be ready to go this fall. They already put the flooring in. Still have to put the courtside seats in, but it's looking good!

The construction cam no longer works?!

What is happening? Looks bigger and better from the outside now. But, what's happening now on the inside? No one can see now

Looks like they might be putting the seal coat on the floor. Hope they have Baseman Brothers out of Eagle River, WI doing it. They are the best.

Indeed it is. I'm glad I alerted them.

I just noticed something - that there are no seat backs in that middle tier except in the corners. It's still bleachers. WTF?

I didn't realize the seat installation had been completed. You should log a formal protest with Dr. Philips. Unacceptable!

You need to get your eyes checked. Upgraded seats being installed on the North side today, deep purple theater style. The upper seats are lower quality but with backs. Money talks.

While bleacher style seats would be unacceptable in the context that the seat installation may not be completed, I think it's a bit premature to lodge a formal protest yet.

Let's give them a little more time to see how things work out. Patience.
 
Today they are putting down blue tape to lay out the basketball floor for painting. This place is getting real.

If you look at the panorama view, it appears that they will have two practice courts running north-south across the main court, which runs east-west as before. Wonder if the is temporary until the new Trienens practice facility is ready.....the decal for the Block "N" is laid out at center court, ready for painting.......
 
Maybe this has been answered, but it looks like there is a lot of room around the court. Are there going to be bleachers or retractable risers with chairs going in?
