Renovated Frost

Re: Renovated Frost

Good background/clarification. Thanks. I don't know how difficult it would be to remove the walled-off corners to wrap around the two northern corners. That's why renovations aren't cheap, I guess.

Capacity in this configuration would be in the 6,000-6,500 range depending on the percentage of chair backs to bleacher seats. I would be difficult to exceed that without altering the roof or building footprint.

I did start from as-built plans, so to speak. To gain the full bowl effect, I removed the existing CMU walls in the north corners. The radio broadcast area is no longer used and the other side was used to house a weight room, which is obsolete with the new wellness center, indoor practice facility, etc. I believe those corners could be removed and infilled with new seating. The existing reserved seats would remain except the two ends on the upper deck, which would be demo'd to make room for new risers that align with the corner.

Here is a separate variation with the corners intact, and the line drawing of the proposed version I posted earlier: http://imgur.com/y4aEvwS

Re: Renovated Frost

The air handling equipment will cause a similar situation in the southeast and southwest corners.

Those are temporary

Re: Renovated Frost

The renderings don't appear to take into account the various notches and irregularities in the upper deck, such as the NE and NW corners which--IMHO--would be difficult or impossible to remove in order to achieve a full 360-degree bowl. As is, they're interesting but not necessarily terribly informative.

I think you'd need to start from as-built architectural renderings to get a more realistic idea of what a "full-bowl" upper deck would look like.

Re: Renovated Frost

Thought I would share these renderings I did while in college. I made these in Sketchup, which is a free 3D modeling program, formerly by Google. This was my take on a remodel which would create a solid upper bowl with a concourse level below. I added a South addition which would house a new suite level and entry, as well as the South concourse. I also added a practice gym on the West side. I never did finish these to the extent I wanted, but now that I'm in the professional world I don't see it happening anytime soon!

These drawings are not associated with the athletic department in anyway. This is just my take on what Frost Arena could be.

With the attached renderings, are you able to given estimated guess on the seating capacity?

Nope.

An outdoor basketball court would not work in our South Dakota winters.

Thanks for sharing. I'd love to see a remodeled Frost look similar to your sketches.

Re: Renovated Frost

I don't believe the facility plan listing is necessarily in priority order. It's numbered more or less from the top of the map down (SJAC being the exception). I have a hard time believing that an aquatic center would be prioritized over Frost updates.

I think it's prioritized pretty much like everything else--as need demands and as money allows.

Re: Renovated Frost

Anybody have any idea how much work would the department do at a time? Would they try and do all of the work from basketball season to basketball season? Would we possibly have to miss parts of seasons and play in an alternate facility?

Perfect, thanks. Must spread rep.

Re: Renovated Frost

Just curious, but what does an indoor golf practice facility look like? Is it like the virtual golf they have at Golf Addiction along with an indoor putting green or something?

My guess is some combination of simulators, nets, greens and sand traps
