One subtle but great aspect of the design is the view of the top of Berchmans Hall through the upper window above the left endzone. It adds so much character and connection to the surrounding campus. Do they light up Berchmans Hall at night?
OMG what a beautiful facility we now have to showcase our mens and womens hoop teams, VB team and other convocation center events. Makes me very proud to be an alum. Go stags!
LESSING PLAZA is the the lettering now on the brick retaining wall at the NW corner in front of the Mahoney Arena and near to the N/S walkway at the East side of BCC.
The voice of the announcer should "compliment" the game, not dominate the game. It should be distinctive, like John Condon for the Knicks back in the day. Easy to fix if the announcer wants to be a part of the game. Having your own style is important buy................ Sometimes less is more
