Pegula Ice Arena - a Virtual View

Re: Pegula Ice Arena - a Virtual View

They covered up the indoor cam. :eek:

I'll see if they know about that. I suspect the construction crew does know.

Meanwhile, the welcome sign is up!

My good buddy Rodney Martin (our PA announcer) came up with Hockey Valley a few years ago. He's kicking himself for not copyrighting the term. :D

The construction trailers are gone and some landscape work has started. I'll try to get some photos tomorrow if it's not raining.

Sorry Shot, but not making any promises on that. ;)

Here's a couple of shots. First from outside the fence, then Asst. AD (and head tour guide :)) Joe Battista inside the main lobby.

...and the logo in the locker room ceiling. The Lion logo etched in "ice" will be right below it in the center of the floor.

Re: Pegula Ice Arena - a Virtual View

They've laid most of the asphalt on the exterior in the depressed area. I would assume the areas where they didn't lay will be for some greenery. Upper part is still a bunch of dirt, not sure what they're planning on doing there.

The upper area in front of the arena will be landscaped
 
Re: Pegula Ice Arena - a Virtual View

It also looked like there was some sort of hole they were digging there in the front. Anything they're putting under there?
Can't see for all of the rain falling right now. Major flooding in downtown SC.
My guess is it may be for the foundation of a stone/brick wall that will be a PIA sign.
