Rupp Arena Task Force To Release Draft

  • {Kentucky}...Since April, a 50-member task force looking at the future of Rupp Arena has been working behind the scenes, while holding meetings with University of Kentucky Athletics and representatives of surrounding neighborhoods. Draft reports will be released September 7th, and several open meetings will be scheduled in the fall. The key question for the task force is whether Rupp Arena should be renovated and expanded or replaced. Task force chairman Brent Rice says discussions with neighborhood representatives have focused on two questions, what they want and what they don't want to see at the home to the UK men's basketball team.
