Baltimore SunUMBC announces plans for new arena on campus

 

The new events and convocation center that will host community events and be the new home for the Retrievers' sports teams is expected to open sometime in the 2017-2018 school year, according to Joe Rexing, the director of facilities management at the school.

The $85-million facility will have 5,000 permanent seats, 1,000 more than the current Retriever Activities Center (RAC). It will be a multi-use space which will allow for greater flexibility than currently available.

With the football team still going undefeated, I guess they have the ability to invest their money elsewhere.

I love seeing the focus on their academic prowess, because it's noteworthy and deserves recognition. The revenue this could bring to their athletic program could help bring about sustainable improvement. I really don't think I'm over stating this.

Absolutely. I told my friends this yesterday- if any of their marketing, administration, etc. staff had St Patrick’s Day plans, they had to cancel them because that is such an institution-changing event I’m sure they were all working yesterday.

I'm good friends with Erin in the bookstore. She has been in a ton of articles this weekend and worked 16 hours yesterday and will today as well. They exceeded their annual apparel sales in one day. She had a shirt company in Ohio that made 10,000 rush on rush and drove them over night, goes on sale at 11 AM today. Really is crazy. She's also the one who made the white out tweet.
