Is the road going to go through that or something? Why are they tearing down the Tennis facility?

[SuperJon]

For someone in the know you seem to be kinda on the outside lately. That's going to be parking.

[JDUB]

yeah we definitely talked about that on the master plan. everything around schilling is turning into parking
come on HMO, gotta keep up man!!!

[Cider Jim]

They are also beginning to bulldoze the cross country trail on the other side of the back entrance, across from the baseball field, I guess to extend the perimeter road.

[Hold My Own]

Thanks for the info....I have yet to even look at the master plan to be honest!

[PAmedic]

Suh-wheet. Obviously, I'm a big fan of the custom embroidery. Very tasteful. Sign me up.

[Cider Jim]

I thought Medic would request a high chair.

[JDUB]

they are gonna bring him a embroidered booster seat if he ever makes it down so he can see over the chain at the bottom..

i had no idea they were tearing down the tennis courts that fast. i cannot remember where the new courts will be. has construction started on them yet??

[jcmanson]

The new “tennis courts and facility” will be where the old intramural field was, next to the softball field.

Those chairs are sweet.

yeah, i didn't realize it either. I knew this was coming, I just thought they were holding off on it for another year or two..but then again with the new bookstore going in they need to get some new parking put in to replace that

ps...i am so happy to hear they are actually putting new seats in the Vines....I am curious to see how the general admission seats will actual look....

i am just happy to see improvement all around campus...its nice to see

[Rocketfan]

But will the new chairs get trashed in convo by students is really the question.....everytime they put new seats in, broken ones appear left and right.....

So..........no convo.............problem solved.

[jcmanson]

You would think for the new red seats they would want to protect them and maybe they could rope them off. Of course we know that won’t happen. Maybe if LUconn would proclaim it would be done.

[LUconn]

I missed this thread. I hate this forum. Those chairs are pretty sweet.

Tennis courts with a modest fieldhouse may possibly be located on the old intramural fields beyond the softball outfield fence.

or possibly not? do you have inside info?

[Kolzilla41]

From what I've heard, the intramural fields will be eventually replace with part of the mall.

[PAmedic]

wouldn't it stand to reason that a fieldhouse of SOME sort would have to go up in pretty close proximity to the courts? Otherwise, you're hiking from the office/meeting rooms and back all the time.

maybe something like v-ball got, over on Campus East (?) That's up and running, no?

[HenryGale]

I had my camera with me yesterday, so I figured I would take some pics for all the out of towners...

Just because we have not had any monogram talk lately...


Time for a new tailgating location. The new bookstore.




The road tore up in front of Hancock.


Religion Hall




Second floor of DeMoss. Any clue what they are doing?


New road between the Hill and DeMoss


Tennis Courts on their way out...




The road going in behind baseball...






And finally...just for good memories...

[blwall1416]

My understanding is that the hole in DeMoss is for them to get equipment up there.

Does anyone else find it ironic that the pic of the new bookstore location has a Do Not Enter sign? ha,ha

[BJWilliams]

With the new tennis courts going where they are it got me to thinking (and some of my friends outside of the awesome folks on this board): Where will the softball field go? Also, the band practices over on the old intramural fields by the softball field (put down some concrete posts for the scaffolding too). When are they going to break ground on the new tennis courts and how would it affect those two groups?

[jcmanson]

Thanks for the pics they are really appreciated.

[Sly Fox]

Big time thanks for the pics.
