The University of Mississippi appears to finally be moving forward with plans to replace the Tad Pad. Having a basketball game called due to rain in the gym will do that for you.
According to The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, later this summer it’s expected that Ole Miss will announce plans for a $125-150 million fund-raising campaign “aimed primarily at replacing aging Tad Smith Coliseum.”
“There’s been so much done as a university to improve athletics facilities as a whole, they realize this is the last bastion for us and next hurdle that needs to be cleared,” said Andy Kennedy.
The building is expected to seat 10,000 and will likely bear some similarities to Auburn’s new arena which opened this past season.
