    And, we need to enhance the look of the APC, now hidden by the Cox Bldg. A Plaza will tie in the facilities and be an awesome area that will give the athletic complex a finished, big time look, something it sorely needs.

    Once they tear down the Cox building, and the AC building in front of the Tigue, all will be good…..even if it is a while before we can build a Champions Square. The facade of the APC is pretty nice, but you cannot see it right now. I know many aren’t crazy of the APC’S style since it is ‘modern’ and doesn't really reflect the buildings on the main campus, but it’s facade is kind of neat. It would be nice if $$$ was no object and we could afford to have something fancier, but it is not and we cannot. At least not now.

    Once the new west side facade on CF is done, that will greatly enhance both the Tigue and APC, as the renderings show that it will reflect design elements of both of those buildings.

    Finally, completing the Champions Square will be the last needed feature….the whole area will come together even more. Having bands before games under the big oak in-between the Tigue and CF, with crowds all around it, including the new Champion Square will be really nice and something truly unique.

    How do we know "not now"? Why not design the Plaza and run the cost on it, then put it out for naming rights that would cover the cost? We just might find a company willing to do that and can get it built at the same time as the stadium.

    I’m sure the cost wouldn’t be too ridiculous. Maybe it’s an easy solution too.

    Yep, I know that they will do that, and I also feel confident that it will be completed after Cox is torn down. My only point was that it is not an absolute need....just having the Cox gone will improve the location 1000%

    Will be peanuts compared to everything else.

    That would require a lot of temporary office buildings during construction until the football stadium is done. It could definitely be done that way if needed, but might make more sense to get those with Cox offices moved into the football stadium first

    A little update. Looks nice, but I will be very disappointed if there is no scoreboard or scrolling ticker on the face of this.

    I would be willing to bet that it is going to be sponsors just like the new SEZ.
