Nobody goes to UNCC games now. What makes them think that they need to expand their stadium?

Random question - did opening the new Gamechangers Fieldhouse free up a lot of office/admin space in Baker? If so, what is that space going to be used for? Or am I misunderstanding how much space Baker has (Besides being in Belk for basketball games, I have no clue what any other space in that building looks like)?

It certainly opened up space, but that is somewhat misleading since most people were stacked on top of other people before. Swimming locker rooms and offices will be renovated and in doing so, some of the football space will become part of that project. Locker room space for field hockey and lacrosse at Baker was small, but will provide some additional opportunities for overcrowding in that building.

I was told that GameChangers would also free up the previous football weightroom to be used as a work out facility catering only to students.
