The pyramid makes LBSU unique and the athletic department is built around the structure. Players love to play in the mid and it seems every graduate takes pictures around the structure. Right now the mid is LBSU and once that goes away something bigger leaves with it. Previous Message
I agree with you 100%. Contract with a temporary facility and raze it. Previous Message
Building an iconic building 30 years ago was the mistake that put us in the bad position we are now in. The pyramid built in Memphis in 1991 only lasted a few years before it leaked. Memphis State moved out after a few years in the building and built its own arena. The Bren Center opened in 1987 for a cost of 18 million and is still functional today. The pyramid is a flawed structure, and I am not sure it can be saved. It has been leaking for several years, and LB State has had enough time to get the studies done and make a decision to repair or replace. Again, I say, the Goldmine is not a suitable backup gym. Hopefully, an architectural group can come up with a solution, but I am not holding my breath. Previous Message
I hope that everyone on this board has taken the time to read the "History of the Pyramid" that was put together by SRC in the string below that was titled "What is going to happen with the Pyramid"!!!
MUST READING from my point of view. It really puts thing into prospective with respect to how the Pyramid got to this point and speaks to the issues that we are facing today. I hope that when the current study (2nd study) of what to do about the Pyramid is finalized, that someone will be able to summarize what is being proposed and what viable options that we might have!
