CentFLBilliken Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Welcome JohnBoy, Interesting article, especially the hometown angle, but I'm not sure that reporter knows much about whats going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quality Is Job 1 Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 >>With a new on-campus basketball arena ready to break ground in January,.... That's news to me. Is that official? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 I was told the board was prepared to give the official sign off in December and they were ready to break ground shortly thereafter. It's suppose to take about 18 mo. to build, so it would be close to being complete for two years from now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quality Is Job 1 Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Eighteen months from January, 2004, is July, 2005. That means the Billikens would be playing in the SLU arena (in their first A-10 season) two years from now. (willie said, "almost complete two years from now.")

DeSmetBilliken Posted November 8, 2003 Share Posted November 8, 2003 It looks like I should still be part of the first graduating class to have their commencement ceremonies in the new arena! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
