$40 million (30 mil down and 10 mil to go)(Timmons Renovation)

[Sad Din]

They should list the capacity as at least 3000. 3000 looks better to a recruit than 2888 capacity. I don't care if they have to count the seats folded up in the storage area. List it at 3000.

dont forget the seats in the offices (coaches, strength and cond, ticket sales, janitorial services) and the toilets. Heck ...might be able to get it to 3200!

If toilets count as seats, do urinals also? FUBeAR has witnessed birthing people using urinals as they might more traditionally use a toilet, so he thinks it would be inbounds to count the urinals in calculating the capacity…if we’re counting the toilets. It’s only fair.

well, just a tad outside of the box but why not?

I expect the Restrooms in a renovated Timmons will be non-binary.

But of course..... I know at least one birthing person that will just have to hold it though.....

[FUBeAR]

I expect the Restrooms in a renovated Timmons will be non-binary.

So…

Urinals in all restrooms then…or no urinals at all?

What about stainless steel troughs ala Paladin Stadium or pee walls as the bellhops once had in their stadium?

[tim]

A piss ditch perhaps..... Like at GaTech

Ditch @ GT? Not aware of that.

FUBeAR recalls circular ‘gang urinals’ (all 10-15 non-birthing people faced the center of the ‘bowl’ in this configuration / transaction) in the bowels (so to speak) of Bobby Dodd Stadium (press box / home side) in the 80’s, but he couldn’t find interweb confirmation of same, so he did not mention…fearing he may have been misled, along with the rest of the crowd (and they did have crowds back then), into thinking a ‘gang sink’ was for an alternate purpose.

But, if they had/have a ditch (ditch implies outdoors…does it not?) vs. wall/shallow floor drain (like the bellhops had)…then there’s no doubt that a circular gang urinal would have made perfect sense to those engineers.

Sirrine Stadium in the 70's had circular troughs.

[palafan]

Save the 40 mil to make us a top tier mid-major, use Timmons as a practice facility and play all the games at the Well.

[FUBeAR]

Sirrine Stadium in the 70's had circular troughs.

Well - there ya go - didn’t remember that -

Also don’t remember if we had any facilities at all in the little white ‘dressing barn’ in the Endzone. Where the heck did we (the Players) pee at Sirrine? Played there many times and have absolutely no recollection of that…

Also…don’t think we could count those circular troughs as seats & not sure how they fit into the non-binary narrative…they are kinda binary themselves - sink or urine trough - aren’t they?….but perhaps…could also be used for bathing or a hot (warm?) tub…hmmmm…maybe, on 2nd thought, those would be best in the refurbished Timmons!

Or you could spend $10M to spruce the place up and give that recruit $500K out of the other $30M you raised. I think he’d play in the parking lot for $500K.

Might be time to lock this one down. Y’all have derailed it for sure!

I remember a gravity flow concrete ditch on the side with a deck but who knows? Could have been another night another place

Why would we lock down a robust discussion of various critical & required facility design components in a thread about designing / funding / building a new facility?
