was to be built near Fetzer Field by November 1977. That new structure would be of similar dimensions and serve the same purpose. Then Physical Education Department chairman Carl S. Blyth stated the cost for that new building would be between $400,000 and $450,000. No parts of the original Tin Can were to be used in the new building's construction. Blyth stated moving the original Tin Can was considered, but ultimately rejected. The $5.9 million building to be placed on top of where the Tin Can laid was hoped to completed by November of 1979 and featured 157,000 square feet that would be used for handball, squash, and three large gymnasiums, among other uses.
