lol! GCU's arena is ten times louder and ten times nicer than New Mexico State's gym. You don't see the Pan American Center gaining national attention.

RE: Basketball Facility Updates
I love seeing all the new facility upgrades in the WAC! I love the PanAm (yes, it's a biased opinion), but there are some things about it that aren't great. It is a multi-use facility (concerts are a big thing in there) that require a different set up than sporting events which can make some of the features of the building less desirable for sporting events.
There are some nice places to play in the WAC. I think GCU's arena is well donoe, and it looks like SFA has really upped their game as well. I am sure there are others that I am not mentioning as well.
GO AGGIES!!!!

If you are saying pure arena, that changes July 1.

RE: Basketball Facility Updates
Switching up sports here a little bit, but GCU Baseball is coming home to a brand new video board after this weekend in Orem. Should be far and away better than the often hard-to-see scoreboard in the left field wall. Would be nice if they could now swap that very basic red-on-black board with an updated video board, too, but one step at a time!

NMSU is currently working on its luxury suites addition. And, NMSU should have a new parquet court installed by the start of this season.

ACU got their video board up at the baseball field a couple of weeks ago.

Way better than our old-fashioned board. It isn't the top in any given conference but so glad to finally have it.

It looks nice. Could be about the same size as the one GCU just put up, too. Well done, ACU!

Getting closer... a few are getting tours of the new Moody Coliseum. It will be a truly great facility.

Nice, I hope they open it up for tours later this summer as it finishes up.

NMSU's new court will be a parquet style and it will be installed before this upcoming season.
