TROY's Trojan Arena
- Seats around 6,000
It's coming along nicely, it will be done by Fall 2012. Here are the most recent photos I could find of the construction. (April 2012)




These are renderings of the finished product:

Trojan Arena is a fine looking building, I like that.

Not him...yuck...painful memories.

CajunAmos provided some good exterior shots of the Cajundome, so here's the interior during a practice session.

Just found these on the Troy Athletics Facebook page.




GO TROY!

Love Troy's new arena. It's classy and distinctive.

Any pics of Georgia Southern and Georgia State? I'm lazy.

Man alive, I love that Troy coliseum, its like a modern Monticello, at some point I'd like to look up that architect, Im thinking they've got Vtech roots.

Pictures are a little scarce apparently, but here's Georgia Southern's Hanner Fieldhouse.

The first picture was one I was about to post. Hanner sits just above 4000 people as of right now. In Phase IV of our capital campaign, we are looking to do a 5 millon dollar renovation to it. There has also been talk of our President working with the community to build a civic center that would be the new home of Eagle basketball.

One of the architecture firms working on Trojan Arena is Populous. Two notable venues they designed were the new Yankee Stadium and London Olympic Stadium.

I hate our arena...

Some Old UALR fans may remember that we were actually pretty big rivals on the court back in the day.

FAU Arena, a.k.a. ("The Burrow"), is a 5,000-seat multi-purpose arena. It opened its doors to women's basketball in 1984. Men's basketball and volleyball became FAU Arena tenants in 1988.

The facility was recently modernized with a $9 million renovation in 2007. In the summer of 2008, further renovations were put in place, including club suites to give "The Burrow" an exciting new feel as the programs continue to grow.

Following the 2006-07 basketball season, the major renovations to FAU Arena included such upgrades as:

* Exterior, including entrance overhangs and complete repainting
* Chairback seating behind both baskets and the west sideline
* New Scoreboard with Video Capabilities
* Locker room expansion(s) and enhancements
* Improved student section area on the east sideline
* FAU Store in the lobby
* Ticket booth outside the main entrance

The cost of total renovations was around $9 million.
