It looked finished on the app where you picked tickets this week, that being said, it will never be done!

agreed. You would think they would want to highlight progress. Serious question, does our Athletic department suck? It's not that hard to post some pictures once a month

Our athletic department is a clown show. We have an incredible amount of turnover on a yearly basis within the department so nothing they put into motion either A. Has time to be planned and executed or B. Relationships with the vendors and outside partners required to put on a first class production are never cultivated. “Fan experience” is supposed to be a top priority but it feels like we just go through the motions on gameday.
We do everything half assed. I have a rig and the damn black fencing is torn up and has been for 3 years and nothing has been done about it.

I havent seen photos of the renovation, but looking at the seating chart and the 360 degree view, it doesnt look great.

The smartest play would have been to make the Hump a volleyball building and basketball practice. Built a new arena for basketball games and multi use.

Im so tired of the Larry Templeton "in the black" approach to facilities. Freaking borrow the money to keep up if you can't find donors.

We need a new basketball arena. We need a new west side of the football stadium. But I bet anything..... we half *** the west side in the future too.

This ^^. I never thought it was a good idea for our former AD (who left us for f'n Auburn) to spend this much money on renovating a building that is nearing 50 years old. Especially, in an era where money is becoming less and less of an issue for SEC schools. Why didn't we try to "one up" the new one at Mississippi?

The Hump needs to be the new volleyball arena. A perfect spot for the new modern arena is right across Bailey Howell to the south. Demo Howell Hall (whatever that is) to make room and build a modern 8-10k seat arena. You could even re-align Bailey Howell and connect the damn thing to the new practice facility. Or build a pedestrian walkway over Bailey Howell to keep that important vehicular connection in place. That would create an "athletic corridor" from the Junction all the way North to Highway 182 and confine all athletics into that area. We could even create special street signs for the new specialized corridor.

Athletic Corridor, Greek Corridor, Old Main Corridor (buildings around drill field), Research Corridor (Research Park), Ag Corridor (North and South), Residential Corridor (north and south). Someone sign me up.

We have too much turnover at this ******* place to do anything reliable long term. Eat a dick Cohen

I friend sent me these last week. According to him, it was still a good bit of work to get done.

Well, so it seems the same, blue hair, unenergetic people are going to be courtside again. Man we actively try to make the Hump the worst atmosphere year in and out as we can.
