I wonder if that new round section is the locker area...

It is the new dressing room. Circular design implemented to promote team-ness, get rid of separating individual locker feel.

Cost is apparently over $6M. Or as Black put it. "If I put it on a credit card for miles, I'd get over 6 million miles"

God damn, the new digs will be the size of a small city! Also, I like the roundness as opposed to the square/rectangle locker room. By the looks of things, the team carpet is still on the floor.

Anyone think Goose is in there bitching at people right now for putting torn out lockers and these designs over top of the logo?

The logo was cut out of the rug, actually. He dropped like 10 grand on a rug they're tearing out already haha.

Some day, I'll have that problem. You know, having that kind of money that I can afford to install new rugs N shit just to rip them out.

Darcy spoke to Stafford's agent last week, will again this week. "Very preliminary"

Old aerospace museum = makeshift dressing room and gym during renovations

This is really cool. I know, it's just a bunch of bikes and people knocking down walls and shit, but it's a chance to see behind the scene stuff. And for most, parts of HSBC that never knew existed! Like the aerospace museum by people like me.

Haha no one knew about it because they didn't advertise and no one gave a damn.

Something they may not be talking about is at a recent Common Council meeting, there were items of discussion surrounding permits for the 100 and 200 level Harbor Clubs and the Headlines bar. Wondering if they're going with the in-arena full restaurant like so many fans suggested.

The museum was a favor from LQ. They used to be in the 3rd street office building in Niagara Falls, but got kicked out (quickly) when the Senecas bought the building. Even when it was up there it was never open and barely anyone knew about it.

There's plenty of room at the old Bell Aerospace plant, that's where they should be.
