It's good to see we are proceding to see if it's a project that is worthy and can be done.
The University of Kentucky announced Friday that it will work with IMG College and its affiliated group, International Stadia Group, to develop financing, design, construction and marketing plans for a new baseball stadium and renovations to Commonwealth Stadium.
Part of the agreement also calls for IMG and ISG to pitch ideas for a new downtown basketball arena in conjunction with the Lexington Center Corp.
No deadlines have been set, according to the university.
Last year, representatives from the firms presented a financing and construction plan to UK and Lexington Center officials, who oversee Rupp Arena.

I'll take two at mid-court thank you. I'm certain they'll be relatively cheap seeing as how basketball does not draw very much interest in this state! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

I will pitch an idea. How bout they use normal sized asses to measure out the bleacher seats. I would like to seem put actual seats in the whole facility and throw the bleachers away.

I agree with the kidd. I weigh a whopping 160 pounds, and even my skinny little old butt will not fit in the allotted space in the bleachers!
