"The Gold Mine hosted its second straight game because part of the suspended ceiling over the loading dock on the south entrance of Walter Pyramid collapsed earlier this week. LBSU Athletic Director Bobby Smitheran said it will be at least another week until any event can be hosted there.

“The next week will be about what’s the approach to the improvements,” Smitheran said. “Are we taking one entrance down at a time? Or is this something that will be a temporary fix or a more long range fix once seasons come to an end in the spring? The structure itself is sound. This was a cosmetic ceiling that fell. So we need to address some cosmetic pieces of it.”

Smitheran added that Beach Building Services have been very helpful, and the MHP Structural Engineers enlisted by the university as the Campus Master Consulting Structural Engineers are currently working to source whatever materials they’ll need to repair the damage."

“We’re having all observations and recommendations being peer reviewed by our CSU Seismic Peer Reviewer which sits on the CSU Seismic Peer Review Board,” Smitheran said.

Acker dismissed any notion that the venue change could be a reason for the recent performances.

“It’s our job to put a product on the floor and perform as players and win games,” Acker said. “We have to figure out a way to do that regardless of the venue, the atmosphere and what’s going on.”
