Does Utep need a new football stadium ?

[FeralFelidae]

It just needs to be upgraded. Nothing wrong with the location, there is a lot that can be built around the area. The Asarco land? What's the deal with that, turn that into a nice "quarter" or entertainment district... Add a route for the street car.

Does the ASARCO land have a clean bill of health? I thought it was associated with hazardous waste. Has it all been cleaned up?

I don't know if it does, but I think they had a watch party from prince machiavelli's when they blew that thing up. I tried going, but I was too hungover

Seems to me they are building a freeway over that spot....

Yes it has. UTEP wants it badly.

FYI, since this is about stadiums, I leave this here because A) it's Friday and B) For Shits n Giggles

Wow at the SEC. Does the SEC make more money than the NFL? This just proves players need to be paid.

I never went to a UTEP game at the Sun Bowl and had the thought enter my head that there's a problem with the lighting system. It's not a problem that I ever noticed. I mean, if somebody wants to put up the money for a new lighting system, we shouldn't turn him down, but I think there are other priorities that should come first.

Did you go to the Colorado St game a few years back?

I remember that night because the band started playing requiem for a dream and everyone was going crazy. Then after they finished I remember Dr. Faggins telling the band that 'This is a night no one will ever forget. Not because of the game but because of the band.'

But will they be serving this at their home games?

He’s also taken the athletic department through a pouring rights process, signed a new multimedia rights deal with Van Wagner and finalized an apparel deal.

Still, with all of this progress, Senter has his eye on a few challenges to overcome.

He’s been closely monitoring the upgrades to the Sun Bowl, UTEP’s stadium and concourse modernization project. This renovation will include premium seating in the GECU Terrace, additional food and beverage options, and enhanced accessibility. UTEP announced a $10- to $15-million, 16-month project, sponsored by GECU. jim senter

“The project is underway; we’ve already completed the initial phase tied to the concourses. Phases II is underway. We were told it would be a $10- to $15-million phase, but when it went out to bid it came back significantly higher, so we’ve had to go back to the drawing board with our architects to see if we can get the costs down.”
