Looks strictly - Hockey
Marist has a Football/Soccer stadium - that is a solid facility for what we are.
Baseball & Softball do not have anything - just a diamond and some fencing
Basketball - has state if art, workout/weight room area, locker room, offices - surrounding an HS gym at best.
Tennis, Crew, and Swimming seem to have solid D1 venues (feel free to correct me if I am wrong)

To me the priority should be getting something around the baseball and softball field. Those are embarrassments.
McCann arena is fine for our level (I don't think it's as bad as a HS gym), looks like most of the other arenas in the MAAC. Would a renovation to it be nice? Sure. (Also, don't really want to have to deal with what St Pete's did this year.) At least we have Vassar which isn't that far away.

They throw up 2 new buildings a year. They just acquired GE's old world headquarters. They manage to improve dorms, academic and sports all at the same time. They bought a tier 1 golf facility. Maybe they just know what they're doing.

I think Marist needs to figure out the President situation before they do much. The last guy put a lot of things in motion and that didn’t work out too good.

CT not an argument - more we don’t need a hockey arena we need a real basketball one . I googled their basketball arena and it wasn’t impressive (unless I missed a new one)

The Pitt Center is a dump. Their stadium is a lesser Tenney. Baseball plays at a town park or something. Gorgeous turf softball stadium. I don't get the hockey rink build. Seats 4-5K when they average like 200 fans? Sacred Heart is one of those schools with 30+ sports and very low enrollment (high percentage are athletes). Most of those teams stink because they can't and don't fund them, they just like advertising that they have them.

I just don't know how schools like Qunny and SHU are printing this money. I know Jack Welch is a major donor at SHU but they cant be that far ahead of Marist in terms of wealth. Marist has so many athletic needs compared to schools of much lesser means.

I think they gave up on the L shape. The video on the page shows a more updated rendering. www.marist.edu/dyson
