So looks like they added a few super-vomitories in the corners and a new club space in the lower bowl? Hopefully the concourses are improved, but this looks a lot more like a maintenance project than a total renovation.
I'm starting to be in the "should have saved up and built a new arena" camp...it's difficult to see how spending money on this was helpful for anything other than a 5-10 year band aid.

I’m not gonna dive into details because I feel like everyone should make their own opinion, but the seats3d link is very accurate.
$50 million to go from the 12th best SEC arena to the 10th (ish).
We went cheap instead of committing to doing when really needed to be done. A Mississippi State tradition.
You guys haven't even walked into the place yet, but you are hammering it without mercy........great job, that's the MSU way!

With football and baseball, I could tell it was done right. This one doesn’t even look like the public renderings.

I’m sure the club level will be nice, but most fans won’t be able to tell.
Not trying to pile on, but I want to see the math where this $50M improvement makes sense.
Actually I have been in it.You guys haven't even walked into the place yet, but you are hammering it without mercy........great job, that the MSU way!
It certainly looks somewhat different with the open areas at center court but I’m just questioning how in world that cost 50 million.
exactly! What a waste of that money. This is a stop gap measure until the program gets better under Jans...why did this cost 50Mil?
It looks like they've poked some holes in the inner concourse walls to make it a little more open feeling. Somebody's been watching Fixer Upper...Mississippi State University Basketball
I thought the intention was to add a bunch of suites? I count like 3, if those are suites at all. Might just be open concourse.
I'm not really all that upset that we didn't demo or anything, as I didn't think it looked all that bad to begin with. But it looks the same to me.

It’s amazing they didn’t touch the upper deck. They could have done some Loge sections and it would have been the least expensive thing they did and brought in nice money. And reduced capacity so there are fewer empty seats.
Yeah. I'm struggling to discern what is a suite and what is an opening from the concourse. Not to mention, how many people can actually watch the game from that perspective? No raised seating or way to get multiple rows.
It’s also concerning they really haven’t posted a bunch of updates with pictures. They literally gave us weekly updates on the dude.
Any close-ups of the janked up critical support structure that the sub-contractor damaged during "renovation" ?
Well, you know, we are the "people's university." The brand intimates a more "inclusive approach." Anyone is welcome to come to ... or through ... your suite and help themselves to your food and drink.
The common man will not see the money spent. There are areas in premier seating where the Big Dawgs get a lounge, better entry to the venue, and the better seats. This is Cohen. Before he left they made a commitment to improving the large donor experience. I remember him on a podcast saying this is the common trend in collegiate athletics.
It wasn't a good basketball arena before, and it still isn't going to be a nice basketball arena after.You guys haven't even walked into the place yet, but you are hammering it without mercy........great job, that the MSU way!
The original renderings were bad. The design execution was bad. The contractor was put under impossible conditions to get it done.
I haven't walked it yet, but 50 million for this...? Should have paid 200 million for a completely new one and played all of our games on the road this year.
For the 12 people that get to use it, that area is going to be great. 12 people, 50 million dollars. I hope they all threw in 4 mill each for that opportunity. /s
Did they include a huge one level island for the kitchen and paint everything white?
could not tell from my view. we can only hope for shiplap bathroom accent walls
Wait until you get a look at the LVT throughout and the matte gold hardware. Also, the staging is impeccable. Pastels with texture.
Improving, yes. But how improved is it? I think that's the question. Nothing here looks "lux".
The more we deal with Cohen’s decisions, the less I understand as to why Auburn wanted him
