david aka the TYZ will become famous soon enough
The picture looks sweet with the huge cat eyes in the ceiling. Seems it is more than just a new locker room. There will be new video rooms and lounges as well. My only question is since the new locker room is across the court and down a flight of stairs will they utilize the old locker room or part of it at least for an in-game locker room/medical room in case a player has to run really quickly to get taped up or looked at or even to go to the bathroom.

Cronin says when this is done our facilities will be as good as or better than our competition. I know fans grumble about 5/3rd and some of it justifiably so, but I think it's important to remember that players and recruits don't go to the upper deck or the concession stands or wait in line for bathrooms. They see the court and the locker rooms. This is a much needed upgrade that can spare the huge expense of a new arena for the short-term.

I think I read they will use that space for the Women's Volleyball locker room.

I saw that too, but I would imagine they will have something right off the court to use. There is a little medical room off to the side of the opposing bench.

I agree. Also, tell me if I'm visioning this right. So UC will be coming out of the same area as the away team?

Nice! Have you or anyone else seen the visitors locker room? I just picture it being pretty bad.

In Sunday's paper: http://www.cincinnati.com/story/spor...rena/13522261/

Its a nice article in which Bohn talks about how updating 5/3 arena is his main priority. More of the same stuff we have heard in the past months. But it is nice to know they are hard at work trying to make improvements.

@JonRothstein
Cincinnati transfer Jermaine Lawrence is eligible for Manhattan during the 2014-15 season, per @steve_masiello. Huge MAAC news.

What was their reasoning? Normally you have to sit out a year. But nonetheless good for him.
