    Nice job on the video.

    I am really, really hoping for a win against Dayton. What a momentum builder that would be!

    Awesome video. Love it. One thing though, President Gormley and the video state that the arena is complete, but the video showed images of the track and field next to the arena being converted indoors and that has not taken place yet. Either way, we're able to play in here now and that's what matters... no more La Roche after tomorrow!

    I gave up on this season as far as attending a game a long long time ago.   Even if PA, or DU allowed X%, I had no intentions, my choice.   But will be there next year, hope to see yinz.

    Great video, great announcement, great vision, great future! It is so exciting to see my alma mater on the rise, taking every opportunity to improve quality, visibility, and all around reputation while seeking to improve the world. I happen to be taking a certification course through Duquesne today and can't help but feel extra proud. Looking forward to getting on campus some day soon watch the Dukes and brag to my kids about what an amazing place the Bluff is and how it made me who I am and ultimately, made them who they are.

    I'm so happy I may cry. I was hoping they might have a video tour of the Coop.

    In this article, it states that the capacity will be 4,406.  My guess of 3,200 was severely off.

    Could you imagine if the Quinipiac Clown & rapper Chuck D former President was around. No UPMC Cooper Center. Much respect to current AD & President.
