$20.2 Million For UALR To Build BB Facility

I just don't even know how to repond to that gift for, uh, UA-Little Rock?

A Little Rock businessman and philanthropist is shelling out $20.2 million for all this to happen.

Man oh man oh man oh man... <_<

More power to them. I wonder how nice their new arena will be in comparison to the Colesium.

I'm not quite sure what 20.2M will buy you these days.

I'm not quite sure what 20.2M will buy you these days.

CMJ, $20.2 million for UNT would build a new Athletic Center, equip it to the hilt and have some left over toward the rest of the stadium (since the AC/EZ facility is actually the first phase of our new stadium).

I think UALR could get a mini "Super Pit" with $20.2 million.

Hope all is going well for you in Los Angeles.

So they can probably afford a *really* nice basketball arena for 20.2M eh? I figured as much, but I wasn't sure. These things cost so much these days.

Last I read, Little Rock's newish city arena is too huge (18K?) for UALR's crowd and they wanted their own smaller campus facility. The city is not happy about UALR pulling out of their lease agreement as now all they have as tenents are like an Arena II football team.
