$10 million for roof? I knew it was going to be expensive but that's what happens when you wait 20 years to fix and maintain. Here's document on repair: http://boardoftrustees.uconn.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/194/2015/04/Attachment-09.pdf …

It's amazing to me how quickly these buildings age. I was at Gampel 25 years ago for the 1st game against St. John's. I can remember where I sat. 25 years doesn't seem like that long of a time. I don't like the part of the article that says that this $10 Million repair will extend the life of the building for another "10 to 15 years." Then what? Another $10 million repair or a new building?
