The Devaney Center Renovation Project

[knapplc]

I'm a bit late on starting this thread. Work has been underway since the last Basketball game, and they've made a bit of visible progress. I'll be adding the Devaney Center into my tour when I take project update photos, but with the bulk of the renovation taking place internally, it remains to be seen how much progress I'll have to report via the camera. Probably get most of our info from the local papers.

 

Anyway, here's the south entrance, with some girder work going on.

 

 

 

The north entrance - nothing happening here yet.

Going off the renovation designs, it appears they're going to update the exterior signage which begs the question, what's going to happen to the old "BOB DEVANEY SPORTS CENTER" letters and can I buy them?

Here's another one from inside the LJS released after the first game.

Are they even doing much to the north entrance? I was under the impression that the bulk of the change was on the south side.

There is enough going on inside that it's been stated that even if the Huskers got picked (and accepted) a lower tourney bid with their losing record that the BOB wouldn't be available for use because of construction.

Well that and they'd be probably be a very low seed and would be on the road anyway.

Probably, but I think sometimes in these tourneys, it's a bid process and they follow the money. Anyway, it's almost certainly moot now.

Best place to look.

On that site, there is a picture of the rendering of the south side of Devaney and the ground is flat. They're not digging all the up are they? I do like it though.

I'm not a huge volleyball fan but I might be inclined to go to a game just to see how different it feels in there vs basketball.

I can't get an image to copy but if you go to that site you can see several shots. Looks like the ramp will be totally taken out and the main entrance will be on what is now the lower level.

Here's a look at construction going on at the Bob Devaney Sports Center right now. This picture shows the new Volleyball/Club level floor structure as it is going in.

Looking at that picture, am i the only who would be scared going in there with all the lights off? Looks like a creepy haunted arena in that pic with the construction.

Just for reference, this is what it is supposed to look like.

Pretty sweet. Will be one of the best, if not the best venue for volleyball in the country I would think.
