UNLV Posted July 6, 2009 Report Posted July 6, 2009 Higgins field house is coming down...check out webcam.
Guest coachacola Posted July 6, 2009 Report Posted July 6, 2009 Here's a snapshot of the webcam from about 6:30 today. They have over half of the old field house torn down.
KDOSullivan Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 I know it had to go....But it still is sort of sad......It was the field house when I was at Lamar in the 70s. :-\
BLUEDOVE3 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Maybe they'll use dynamite!! They could have saved money. Used the football players in their pads to knock it over! : :
UNLV Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Posted July 7, 2009 Waiting on the scoreboard to come crashing down.
Guest coachacola Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Waiting on the scoreboard to come crashing down. You mean they're not saving it to put on top of the new athletic complex?
AshlyHasBeen Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 The new one is slightly bigger, jumbo tron is bigger than PN-G's and BISD's proposed one. It's supposed to be 75 tall in all! that's just the board not on the polls.
LUFAN Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Is that about the same size as UH? Also, any news on a new scoreboard/ sound system in the montagne center?
Guest coachacola Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Only the old scoreboard is still standing!!
Lazeek Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Whats up with the slow pace....................two days to tear it down??
BLUEDOVE3 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Whats up with the slow pace....................two days to tear it down?? Aggie workers...
AJ25 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 I think we could've found some quicker workers down south
UNLV Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Posted July 7, 2009 Only the old scoreboard is still standing!! Came down at exactly 3:53 pm. I was so lucky to have gone to the site at 3:52...
AJ25 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 get the dumpsters in there! when is construction scheduled to start on the new athletic complex?
Guest coachacola Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Not much left of the old field house. I'm guessing that as soon as they finish cleaning up the mess they'll start on the new athletic complex. In a few months we should start seeing a steel structure looking something like this:

In a few months we should start seeing a steel structure looking something like this: I'm guessing that this fieldhouse will occupy most of the parking lot?
Guest coachacola Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Where's everyone going to park when they start having football games? They should build a parking garage next to the Montagne Center.
LUFAN Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Thats a little much dont you think coach... I am not sure were we will have enough parking... even for basketball games.
AJ25 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 There is plenty of parking through the school, and there is the walk way across the highway that will connect the school parking lots and the football stadium. Yeah, it's a little bit of a walk, but they won't be building any parking lots. Atleast until it is proven that they are necessary/
KDOSullivan Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 There is plenty of parking, but you may have to walk from old Brooks-Shivers Hall....When I was in college, I remember walking from the Maes Building tothe Cardinal Stadium for marching band practice and it was closer than walking to the old marching practice field behind the women's gym. I wonder how much of a hump it will be now that I am in my "older" years? I am showing my age now.....Is there still a women's gym near the biology building? Are there still animals on the walls in the biology building?
AIW Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 The animals are still there lol. Cool overall but a little creepy at night
