It would be great to have some pro photos and even a video tour of the new locker room.

Anyone have a pic of what it used to look like? I bet some of you went on a tour of the Ryan Center back before it hosted its first real basketball games.

I remember it was fairly roomy, but spartan.
Now, let's get some nice industrial carpeting for the common areas at Ryan and finish it off
in style. The raw or painted concrete is ugly.

they didn't just spend 150k on lockers. Would like to see what else is in there.

If only our endowment was slightly bigger...

I remember the football locker and I recall grey portable lockers and no room for anything else.

Boone Pickens' money will buy a lot. We've got some nice donors but nothing compares to what Boone shells out.

As an FYI, I believe there has been arranged, a "behind the scenes" tour of this and the other behind the curtain RC things sked for the home game in the Big Chill Weekend home game in Feb '13.

I've been told that the new locker room is outstanding.

Also, the football locker room isn't anything too special. They made it look real nice, however, when they converted it to the media room for the NCAA when the women's tourney was in town.

I was impressed with how Hurley got this done. He appealed to boosters who put together a package. Baron complained a lot about facilities, but never was able to rally people the way Hurley already has. Baron seemed to want URI to pay for it, and that wasn't going to happen.
Hurley saw a problem and found a solution in a hurry.

Heard the final figure was $225K.
Are there any empty rooms in the Ryan Center?
