I like the marketing— hopefully it’s a big reveal about signing to play UK or U of L or WKU in upcoming seasons....,

Could it be anything facilities-related? Or do we think all those bases are covered with the Luth?
Fitton renovation?

Our beloved "Crusader Mascot" on a white stallion riding through that door in preparation for an appearance on Fitton Field this Saturday! !

My guesses:
1.) New uni's (Cmo's pick) 2.) Game in Europe against Fordham 3.) New opponent (Penn State?) 4.) New opponent @ Hawaii 5.) Video board for Fitton
If it was start of the student rec center, other teams and ADNP would be teasing as well. In that regard, HC (contractor?) has blocked parking opposite Figge so that construction equipment for new parking lot can be brought in. Once this lot is finished, the equipment may move north and begin excavating for the Center for the Creative Arts.
The only near-term athletic facility (if it is still in the pipeline) is visiting team locker room for Fitton, locker rooms for the several sports that do not have them at Luth (e.g. softball), and a small medical exam room, in a building that would be located northeast of Kimball.

Guessing not a new opponent simply because by the time a schedule slot opens up, all current players will have graduated, so that news would be for future players and would not have gotten that reaction.
New uniforms? They are established for this year, right?
Haven’t a clue myself. Hope whatever it is is worth the hype.

Pretty sure the team would not be excited about a renovated visiting locker room unless 8485's guess is right. Oh, wait . . . . it's the announcement that the WooSox are going to add another tier to the baseball field and play at Hanover Park at Fitton Field due to high clean up costs at the original location and to sweeten the deal are going to re-enclose the football stadium to make it a bowl and add luxury boxes above the Ring of Honor. Just spitballin' here.

new mascot....

Post by sader1970 on Sept 20, 2018 8:37:39 GMT -5
Great guess! I suspect it'll be a knight garbed all in purple and be called "The Purple Knight."
The catch phrase will take a page from Army West Point's "Black Knights of the Hudson" and we'll use "Purple Knights of the Blackstone."

As a current "purple knight" I am certainly most willing to lend out the title to a mascot. If this comes about, PLEASE don't make him look like Marvin the Martin again.

HC is going to capitalize the mascot and will be known as the Bud Knight. There will be a beer garden on the top deck of Hanover Insurance Park The chant of Dilly Dilly will be heard throughout Fitton. This is to counter act The unofficial Dartmouth mascot of Keggy the Keg. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keggy_the_Keg

The only near-term athletic facility (if it is still in the pipeline) is visiting team locker room for Fitton, . How about a nice new home team locker room at Fitton and moving visitors to the EBW cinderblock hut? Now you are talking about real money! My supposition is that this 'annex' locker room resulted, in no little part, from the Title IX consent agreement with the Feds over the softball program. Baseball nominally had a locker room at Hanover Field, softball had none, and rather than build locker rooms for baseball, softball, M/W tennis as part of Luth, the idea was to build a set of locker rooms closer to those sports. The second part of that choice was to locate this locker room 'annex' above the flood plain, --which may be a reason they chose not to build locker rooms for softball near McKeon Road and be done with the Title IX matter. The notion of a medical exam room was before the advent of the medical tents. As to having two new football locker rooms at Fitton, the football locker room at Luth is about 2500 square feet. Assuming, because of all the plumbing and tile work, that a locker room costs $400 a sq ft to build, 2500 x $400 x 2 = $2 million.

With the new locker room complex at Fitton, then the team could do the Sader walk before the game with fans.
