I hate to pry but is there any insight or hints that can be given other than the sport in which it pertains to, and the beverage that is referenced?
No. But you guys are gonna love it.
Was it the statue or Mickeys?

I still think it was stupid to pull out of the original plan when we were 4 million short. I understand Blaylock wanted to focus on HAPC funding. They should have built the original plan to boot.

Still, I like what they've done with this project. There will be improved restrooms, concessions, new points of sales, the Kenny statue, signage, lighting.....and there's still room to add a grand glass entryway on the east side of the AA at some point. it will just be a lot more expensive than 4 million dollars when they do build AA phase 3.

The basketball facilities are top notch now. It's no wonder we're starting to pull in four star recruits.

I can't wait until this fall. That entryway between the HAPC, the IPF, and the AA is going to look absolutely first class and going to be the epicenter for one of the nicest athletics plants in the MWC.

Let the year of the Cowboy begin in earnest. We're going trophy hunting.
Wyoming Cowboy basketball:

National Champions 1943.

Helm's foundation National Champions 1934.

NCAA tournament MVP and two time College Basketball Player of the Year Kenny Sailors, who is credited with inventing the jump shot.

Do you remember Cowboy Basketball?

I do.

I've been told a lounge setting for vending alcohol. Not sure if food is included.

Is this CJC exclusive, or is it open to the public? I wonder how many concession areas will have alcohol available for the general public?

I've heard just 1 general consesson area will have alcohol. That could definitely be wrong though.

After the renovation at the AA there will be 4 concessions with beer/wine and the bar at the entrance.

What is the significance of the name Mickeys? Someone donated and got naming rites or something more?

I believe it's after Mick McMurry. His nickname was Mickey.
