[QUOTE="IlliniBus, post: 1322314, member: 11333"] Count me among the meh group. I love the fact we are building a facility, but for $79 million I expected more wow factor. Agree with the comments about the architectural style being off and blocking beautiful Memorial Stadium. Some are saying this doesn't matter, but for this price these details matter. I've always thought since I first got on campus that it was odd the main focal point when approaching MS from the north (where 95% of campus is) is... the intramural building? Would have liked to see them displace some of IMPE if necessary and feasible. Some type of room (weight room, meeting room, offices) overlooking the northeast corner of MS would have been much more dramatic than the wall of glass facing the practice field. [/QUOTE]
