A new flooring will be applied on the downstairs concourses. It's mentioned in the announcement.

Agreed. Painting the brick would be a mistake. The point of the red brickfacing is that it classes up the drab gray of the old "bathtub" look we had...which is why I alwatys appreciated the sine waves, despite the regime they came under. It showed how we could jazz the place up with something pertinent, and somewhat unique, to the school.

Painting that drab concrete white would really make the nice brick work "pop out." It would be beautiful.

It would also highlight all of the imperfections in the concrete - from the ones that were cast into it to the ones that have developed over the decades. That still might be an improvement. I, for one, have no negative feelings about all that bare concrete, whatever its condition and however drab some might find it.
Paint is also something that requires recoating regularly.

I'm not saying the underside of our upper deck is as nice as this, but I like it.
