How are you today?
Yeah, absolutely.
So, you know, we've been in Surrey's facility here.
It was purpose built over 40 years ago.
And it like any 40 year old venue, it needed a lot of work.
And Amar Doman, our owner, you know, he said, you know, we have to do better for the players.
So we essentially did that.
We gutted this place.
to the studs you know everywhere in the locker room area our at area our our hot tub area just everything we went down to the studs we completely transformed the room and it all started last year when we
decided that we were gonna try to just triage it a little bit and the triage turned into more and today we're unveiling our whole new room and i'm i'm really excited for the players to get the first time to to get a chance to see it because they've been in cam loops for camp the whole month and and we've been putting the finishing touches down so they show up today we're showing them the room and then they're on the field can you ballpark how much this has cost the owner amara doman
I won't talk about that number, but it's significant.
I'll just say that.
It's been an investment by Amar.
It was important to him to make sure that we did everything in our power.
His exact words to me about a year ago was, Dwayne, we can do better.
And let's do better.
And we were always in a situation where we wanted to look at other potential options and figure it out.
And how do we, how, how do we improve the quality of, of training facilities for our players?
And, and eventually it just became, listen, let's just, let's just gut this place and do what we can.
You know, we don't really know yet.
