The latest discussion is stripping the sides off the old ralph and rebuilding the facility from its existing structure. The estimates of doing this came back much cheaper than building new. The biggest problem workng against the athletic department right now is time. EERC badly wants the land that the old ralph sits on for expansion. From what I have been told, it will come down to who can come up with money first: EERC secures the money to tear it down or the athletic department finds money to rebuild from the existing structure.
