theeagleman5 Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 Love the new Mabee Center exterior look and can't wait to see the interior with new blue seats in the lower bowl....TheEagleman is contemplating a late February road trip for a basketball doubleheader and hopefully a weekend of ORU baseball if the team is at home....wanting to bring my 16 yr old grandson who is heading to his Soph year in HS for a campus visit....and he's a very good baseball pitcher at his HS in South Jersey....ya never know...he could be playing at JLJ some day in the next 5 years.... 2
EagleManiac Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 Was driving by the Mabee the other day and the parking lot was packed and with people streaming out from what appeared to be a denominational convention or something. Does that mean the seats are in? I'm anxious to see the new seats and the new interior, but I figured they'd not have that wrapped up until hours before tipoff of the first exhibition.
dave Posted July 26, 2021 Posted July 26, 2021 No, it isn't done. I read something on the Mabee Center website of a youth conference that was scheduled to be there. They stopped the removal of the seats for th event which was scheduled before the plans to renovate.
Old Titan Posted July 27, 2021 Posted July 27, 2021 Same reason why the exterior painting had stopped but has now started back up again; should be all blue-for-gold soon. And for anyone who is still nostalgic for the gold trim: I was at the Mabee Center today and got to see the new blue panels right next to the old gold ones, and the difference is startling. The gold is so tarnished; the navy looks incredible instead. It looks like a new building. And, while I didn’t get a chance to see it, I was told something along the lines of “If you think the exterior looks good, just wait tilL you see the renovated concourse”. 1 2

I'm definitely a fan of the blue redo - but I'd like there to be gold accents to keep with the University colors AND the founder's original vision.
