if anyone is interested in getting a peak inside, the fence came tumbling down with he severe thunderstorm that rolled through east Boca and the FAU campus this afternoon...
if you live really close like me, might wanty to hop in the car and just have fun sneaking an insider's peak...the west locker room entrance is open...all fencing on the east side is down...and one main door at the arena entrance is open as well...
i just made an official pass through and snapped about 10 pics...but i dont know how to get them off my camera yet! call me stupid, but ibought this thing and dont know how to download anything yet...i know, that is lame...i will try my best to get them up by tommorow night...
i will say this:
THEY ARE MOVING VERY SLOWLY...
went in the "locker rooms" and cant really figure out exactly what the "lay-out" is...there are shower stalls, then another set, then a room, then a small hallway, then another identical room...its all in one straight line...i took a pic, so you will see what i mean when i post it...
i beleiev they must be putting the "team area" in the old weight room for the men, and fitness lab for the women...cant see ANY other way given the uniqueness of the layout as of current - as there is simply no room for couches, etc...
Locker room - long view of hallway...dont understand the layout?!
New showers:
Floor:
looks to be done, got a pic of that too...no logos, no sealant...bare wood, but in place
Scoreboard:
No progress...same one(s) are still there...on both ends...
Seating:
No progress...bleachers are pulled out ten feet away from the walls, got a pic of that...not even any new seats laying around...
Lobby:
Some progress...ticket booth has walls, and no windows, but you can definitley get the feel for it...got a pic of that to post as well...
Fan Shop:
Not started yet - at all...concession stand still draped behind plastic...
Offices:
Still in tact...nothing doing there anyway dont believe...
Entry way to public restrooms:
anialated...new tile/entryway for sure...its 2 foot below floor level and plain dirt...
Officials quarters:
sorry boys, looks like you stay in the old house...given the poor play calling of last season, serves you right...
Outside:
Thunderstorm blew over some of the decorative pices from the east side...i got pics of that and the fence totally taken out...
damage...
East side column:
Also, got some close up of the front of the arena and the new awnings, etc...they look pretty sharp...can imagine the finished project now...
