SIAM; This is a week late, but If anyone finds time I suggest listening to last Wednesdays episode of The Drive with Paul Swann. He had Debra Boughton on who went over a bunch of cool stuff that herself and Spears are planning to do to better our athletics.
A few tidbits from the show..
-Our new scoreboards are 100% privately funded, and an announcement will be coming out about that. I was under the impression Learfield pays for them in exchange for Ad revenue - but that's not the case.
-There is a plan for the endzone in the works, and one of the big ideas is to put in a year round restaurant. A capital campaign will be announced.
-New HVAC system is coming to The Cam.
-This was a little teaser, but when asked about the 5 year plan for the basketball facility she mentioned The City of Huntington and Marshall both acknowledging the growth coming in terms events and possibly needing to expand with it. Could there be a plan for a new arena in which Marshall and Huntington share, or a complete Cam remodel. I don't know, but she kind of was alluding to it.
