Sebo Center Images

Post by **ZiggyZoomba** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 1:34 pm

From BG-EV...

Here are scans of the rendering that are being shown of the Sebo Center. It wraps around from the North-East end of the current stadium and arcs around the north end zone.

The rising "point" of the roofline, with all the glass below, is designed to be seen from I-75 and will lighted at night. Should be striking from the highway - it is about time we tood advantage of our location on such a major highway, it always drove me nuts when we piled junk along the road.

The 7 pictures are available in the gallery uploads section starting on page 3.

Is ground-breaking this summer as been rumored?

Yes, the offical timeline says they will start this summer and have it done by the summer of 2006.

Your telling me they will have the building built in one year!! Nothing on the BG Campus gets built within a year.

Not much of anything gets built anywhere within a year!

Estimated Cost $87.5

I think that's a $ that looks like an 8. You could build a new convo center for 87 million and have enough left over for that club level nudie bar.

Wow, cool, I actually like it less seeing it from another angle. At best it is still a exceptionally "whelming" design. But aside from the uninspired look, as a facility its good to have.

haha...makes sense. I thought I heard it was going to be around 7-8 million that's why I was stunned when I saw that. Evidently I can't see.

Aren't those the same images that have been posted on bgsufalcons.com for the past three months?

I can't wait until they break ground and start on the project! Even though we know it's coming, I won't fully be able to envision it actually happening or appreciate what we're going to have until they actually start working on it.

What I like is that the building is going to join the northeast corner of the stadium.

Our stadium has always looked sort of half finished.

I'm not 100% certain that this is the actual finished design. Like what Tech83 said, "it's more than likely been "sexed up" to attract dollars."

I like the design. I'm interested to see how any convo center would look to the south.

I really don't expect as much glass as they have shown. It's too expensive to pretty much cover the whole building and wouldn't match the rest of the stadium very well.

I heard a lot of talk on Saturday that if it DOES not get started to be built that Sebo is pulling the funds. I think this will definitely put the project on the fast track!!
