At $40m, this might be the most expensive and nicest basketball facility built anywhere in the nation. They are going all in on this.

Our facility was $60M. Although it isn't only for basketball, it is very much the focal point.

Ah, UConn has other facilities newly built (5 or 6 years ago?) for football. A football center, and then the Shenkman football field, etc. I think that cost $60m, but I forget if it was for one or both.

Our football facility is on the other side of campus. We only put around $20M into it because of space constraints.

Dont get me started on that. When we announce our stadium and it's $220M or whatever, at least 10% will go into peoples' pockets thanks to the BS unions.

This will pair great with our 100 million dollar football facility.
