Shooter: As Williams Arena approaches 100 years old, the University of Minnesota this week is about to discuss improvements for the Barn’s bathrooms.

Go Gophers!!

Go Gophers!!

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Keep the out houses as they are. Don't ruin the nostalgia!

 

[Gopherbbdude]

...about too????? WTF

No rush...only been a few decades of need.

Go Gophers!!

Maybe Lois Feldman should be consulted?

How soon before they realize the troughs are on the National Register of Historic Places and can't be removed

It's a dump and needs to go.

Build a new arena. Volleyball deserves a new and better home, so do the basketball teams.

 

[Blizzard]

The barn is a dump and should have been replaced decades ago.

 

[nitramnaed]

Shooter with another major scoop!

I'm guessing that getting some restrooms in the upper deck of the The Barn by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota is out of scope for this current improvement.

I would hope improvements made now would fit in with the scope of the master plan for remodeling the arena. If not, then just wait until the full remodel to do it rather than doing it twice.

"Master plan" - come on, this is Minnesota and Coyle. We good here just setting up time to "discuss restrooms" 20 years after they should have been upgraded.

Go Gophers!!

 

[Spaulding!No!]

We cannot afford to lose the arena reason for failing

Upgraded to what exactly?

The football stadium is also getting a bit stale.

Ummm no. Still is a wonderful stadium

Put them in the trophy case and drape the 1997 banners over them...

I'm all for the same approach to the barn I have with classic cars.

Keep the cool classic vibe, but upgrade some things & make it fun to drive.

100%. (I love the rest mods!) I would love to see them remodel the Barn with wider concourses and better stairwells. The sightlines in the Barn are amazing.

100% my auto jam is stock as tho it rolled off the line. Ephemera to go along with it- I’ll read everything.

Keep the classic piss troughs but add small TV screens above them so you don't miss any of the action. Classic with the modern touch.

We aren’t winging it, we are seeing what happens

Then if there's a bad play we can piss on the TV. Well, some of us can.....

National Register of Pisstoric Places?

Totally agree. Keep the classic outside and make the inside brand new. Had a 1969 Chevelle convertible and that was my dream to do. Ended up selling it before I could really do anything.

Nah, let's just flush the money down the toilet.
