We put lipstick on a pig. I actually really like the exterior but the interior looks so cheap. Go in the men's bathroom and there are multiple pipes that couldn't be moved so there are cutouts that look like someone with a pocket knife cutout in the ceiling for them. We should have just started over or just did what we did to the exterior. Thanks cohen
First time in the hump since the renovations

I honestly like the Hump. The entrances are very nice, the concourse is easy to maneuver and the concessions are quick. The inside looks crisp and clean and the lights and sound are significantly better.
It’s better than I expected honestly and the concourse is infinitely better.
I thought it looked sharp. The entrance is nice. Concourses are nice.
You can’t see the court from the club level though unless you’re standing at the very edge. Not sure if that was by design or not.

HUMP looks fine to me. Should be good for at least another 10-15 years. 9500 capacity is perfect for our program. Auburn and Ole Miss with brand new facilities are the same. New facilities and renovations are all going to smaller arenas, but with more premium seating.
Also the concessions operate much better now as grab and go. Stood in line before the game and at halftime for maybe 2 minutes.
I like the Hump. There isn't a bad seat in the house. I like that they opened up the concourse to the arena. You can see the game on the video screens from the concourse.
I think the Hump is nice. Much better than previous. But I understand the OP’s post was strictly to schitt on Cohen for whatever reason, so I’ll leave him to it.
This is probably the best part of it. The concourse may be wider but they feel far wider bc concession lines aren’t backed up to the wall preventing foot traffic. The large entrances give a good impression but it also seems like a lot of wasted space. If the true number is $35 mill I’m fine with it in today’s world. Basketball arenas don’t attract talent. But we should have done it all long ago when money and supplies
Were cheap.
Yep probably picked the absolute worst time to try and do a renovation.
The average fan got better concessions and that's about it, but it is better for those that frequent the concessions. Otherwise it sounds like a lot of money spent on the club level which most don't get to see, you know, like the LFL.........
The nicest thing they did is you can walk the inner concourse fully inside the arena and be able to watch the game.
I've never thought the Hump was a bad arena. There isn't a bad seat in the place. The only thing that I hated was the concourses with the concession lines blocking foot traffic. They fixed that.
In 10-15 years the Hump will be the nicest basketball facility in the Sunbelt Conference.
I did tip because the tip money goes to whatever high school booster club is working the concession stands. A friend of mine works the concession stand every couple of weeks and happened to be working the other night. The tip on their machines went to the Eupora High School booster club.
You don’t have to tip but it goes to whatever booster club or organization is working the concessions that night.
