willie Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Kmox just said that SLU Athletics would make a major announcement tomorrow. Any guesses?? Anybody know anything? My guess would be a contract extension for Brad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 The new arena will be ready Friday for the UMSL game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonwich Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 They were speculating on the 5 p.m. sports update that it was indeed a contract extension for Brad. (I'm assuming we're still too early for a Tommy announcement.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 its a very good way to start off the new season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billiken_roy Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 while i hope that slu soon does lock brad soderberg up for a long term deal, if i had my druthers of what would be great news tomorrow it would be that slu72 just sent in that $40 million check to get the arena built. then the next day we can have the brad soderberg contract extension press conference, and next week have the kevin lisch and tommie liddell signing press conferences, man that would make for a good week.

AlumniFan Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 I hear they will announce that a local restaurant critic will be hanging up his typewriter to head up the Sports Marketing Department at SLU ;-) That, or that an East side mortgage broker has just written a $10 million dollar check for naming rights for the new arena to be called the Home Loan Dome...nice ring to it, eh? Okay, I'll stop now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billiken Rich Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Does it look any smaller??????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnekess Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Yeah, it looks eerily alot like that new stadium down I-70. Lets hope the pillars go back on the drawings soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidnark Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 It is my understanding that they had to revise the design to accomodate the creek. The original design contemplated sinking the arena much deeper in the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quality Is Job 1 Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 The last announcement regarding the arena was in December; it's been nearly a year since there's been an announcement. The folks in charge of this can't blame us if we begin to doubt that the project will ever be completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobo Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Completed???? How about begun! The absence of any information in 11 months doesn't generate a lot of excitement and/or confidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonwich Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Anybody know how long those new renderings have been up? If they just came up this week, I bet the timing wasn't purely coincidental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tseugnekillib Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 The on-campus arena will happen because Fr. Biondi said it's going to happen. After waiting 100 years, what's a few more months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsWin Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 So is the arena info the big announcement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBand Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 It looks like the Towers are gone. The building seems more spread out from an east to west angle. Interior looks the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bauman Posted November 5, 2004 Share Posted November 5, 2004 Yes the towers are gone, but someone in the SID group forgot to change page 4 in the Stats section which still refers to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
