Arena Celebration: As Spirit says, 'It's a Great Day to be a Seawolf!'

Right now, this very minute (5:23 p.m. Sept. 9), a large crowd is gathered in Wells Fargo Sports Center, on the same sports court where the Seawolf VB team will be practicing later tonight for their game against St. Martin's tomorrow night at 7 p.m. at WFSC.

Many friends of UAA are gathered there to celebrate the progress toward a brand new sports facility for UAA. Here's one of the schematics that was in the hallway so people could view it on their way to their seats.

Here's a shot of the stage with a 'line-up' of arena supporters that included Governor Sean Parnell,
Mayor Dan Sullivan, Chancellor Tom Case, UA Regent Kenneth Fisher, Senator Kevin Meyer and Rep. Bill Stoltz.  Good friend Arliss Sturgulewski

There's Nikkie, second from left!

AND, one of our fantastic Great Beginnings bloggers, VB team member Nikkie Viotto. She was escorted to the stage by none other than Spirit! Congratulations, Nikkie! You make us proud. Good luck in tonight's game!

One of the BEST things was a fun video about how Tom Case and Spirit found the right place to build the new arena. Missed it, or just wanna see it again? Here you go!
