Locker Rooms

Side Show Joe · August 6, 2016

Does anyone have an update on our locker room renovation? Just saw this video of UH's new locker room. It wasn't too long ago they were jealous of our facilities.

Something tells me that if we get even close to what Houston locker room looks like we will have done well

Locked rooms were brought up by the consultants at the fan meeting. It's something that they felt very strongly needed to be addressed.

Seating for over 120 ... wheel chair space at the front. Lots of space up front and on the sides plus a walkway in the middle. I wondre what the front of the room looks like? One big screen? Several smaller screens?

It looks really nice but doesn't have a real modern look like UH has. Of course, the bling could still be added.

Which rooms did they want unlocked? I'd hate to think we paid them $20k and didn't even let them into rooms.

Baker needs to get on this immediately!! I mean, even before firing Benford. Otherwise I'm starting a letter writing campaign (unless there's some other means of gathering a lot of attention at once).

I just thought of something. With the walkway in the center of the room is really divides the space in half. That would allow you to put one screen centered in front of each half. This would work out well to have two screen playing the same thing and let everyone in the room have a good angle. One huge screen like a movie theater would be really cool, though.

Do many handicapped players attend these meetings?

I just got back from LSU, where I'm about to start their MBA program and I had a chance to tour Tiger Stadium. It is an amazing place but Apogee is just as nice if not nicer in many areas. We don't have the size of Tiger Stadium of course, but the appointments and details are on par with many P5 stadiums. Upgrading the locker room will be yet another great addition to Apogee. One of the great areas in Tiger stadium is their NFL room. They have helmets on the wall from each NFL team that has signed a Tiger (with their name engraved on a plaque). Nice recruiting area.

No, but I'm sure some injured players will...

ADA compliance?

Has anyone seen pictures of our new locker room? Southern Miss has finished theirs. It looks really nice. How does our renovation compare?

would be surprised if it were half that awesome. Just can't see us raising the bar that high.

GreenN'walinsVet · August 26, 2016

Someone posted a picture of it still not quite finished the other day on one of the social media outlets. At the time it was not that nice, but of course if any lighting as been installed it did not show any of that yet.

Being that its not finished yet, id say we have to wait and see. LED (if there will be any?) does a lot to change the appearance of something. The new meeting room is very nice so lets not jump the gun on the locker room just yet.

That low ceiling needed to go. Would have been one of the first things done.

Disappointed.

MeanGreen01 · August 26, 2016

Agree with the low ceiling! Seems claustrophobic! I saw our lockerrooms from last year and these are almost the same! Kinda disappointed too.

Looks like a professional place for undressing...if you know what I mean. Complete with a pole in the middle.

And we wonder why we can't land recruits. Lala's locker room is head and shoulders better than this and they're in the belt. If this is close to the finished product, this is disappointing and grossly a waste of money.
