Maybe
we need to watch Bird…sounds like he’s plotting something.
the Ramblin' Reck will be renamed
John Bird’s Mobile Trophy of Excellence. The jerseys will no longer have numbers on the front and will have the word “BIRD” in large gold-embossed text. It makes almost too much sense.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Have you no shame, sirs? HAVE YOU NO SHAME?
Call it AMC at Hank McWhatsHisFace Pavilion of LotsOCash if you want, but to completely erase the name of Alexander? BOO.
I'm with you
this is a shredding of tradition that I would expect at lesser institutions.

April '11-Oct '12
The website says construction will last a year and a half, does this mean tech is going to play at Phillips for a year?
that's what I was under the impression of
I was also under the impression that we were gonna be in there for multiple seasons until a big donor stepped in to speed things up.

Looks like that happened
Hank McPhatsacks stepped in and is speeding things up. What’s that being lifted by the crane over there? Oh, you don’t worry your littel head over that Bird. Move along now, I’ve got a naming ceremony to attend now…

Fact.
at least
there gonna make a courtyard named after Alex and for his honor… includes a bust of him and some other stuff but still a bad idea…
so whats next? a new name for BDS?? HELL NO!

Um, you realize
that “Bobby Dodd Stadium” is a new name, right? It was Grant Field long before Coach Dodd’s name was attached. I do like the suggestion above that it retain the AMC name somewhere, maybe Hank McCamish Pavilion at Alexander Memorial Coliseum to put the shiny new name first. Then the GTAA can call it HMP and the purists can still call it AMC and both can be right.

At least it is keeping its most famous feature
or at least that is what the aerial view showed.
We can still call it the McT*t, just for a new reason

that is new moniker will be richly deserved, so to speak.

No more sunken court . . .
means no more swarm behind the basket. That’s too bad.
To HELL with georgia!

You mean the space made available for about 12 people?
That little space called the “student section”? I’ve always felt disappointed by that. From what it looks, there should actually be much more space behind both goals to have a worthy student section befitting an ACC school.

yeah
Swarm attendance is a joke. Hasn’t been good since Ish graduated. I think Zam had a lot to do with it.

You have to join a club
To be in the Swarm. What I hated while being a student is that students get the crappiest seats in the building behind the baskets while at every other school worth a crap the student section is on the side of the court so the students car really make some noise and get into the opposing teams heads.
But, since they’re willing to rename the coliseum for money then there is no way they’re going to sacrifice extra ticket sales money by giving the students preferred seating.
