Door #1?

ive said it before. its all a game of slight of hand. they have the money but theyll never say that because they always want more. to keep you donating.

They got a $2 million dollar donation. I thought man that’s awesome. Then I saw the price tags of what the Dakota schools built or building.

$35 million - NDSU, $31 million - SDSU, $19.1 million - North Dakota.

It says details coming later. I hope they have a photo of the building and the next steps soon.

Been waiting for this for a long time.

It's probably a field with a tarp draped 30 feet high

To be honest, they are just now actually starting to raise money for this project. I thinks we can all stop pretending that Larry Lyons truly prioritized the IPF.

According to the Pantagraph, this is addition to 2.3 million $ already raised.

It appears NIU's facility cost 9.5 million. Which seems very realistic imo. Those Dakota numbers sure are impressive though. It is nice at least that Larry left us with a little already raised. Current funds raised sits around $4.3 million. I am confident AD Brennan will be able to launch a successful fundraising campaign and get us a nice looking facility. Am hoping for brick and mortar after the big news.

NIU's looked pretty good to me; at least from the outside. 10 mil seemed reasonable for a price tag, but I'm no building construction engineer. It seems that's what we should be angling for. At least it won't be a bubble.

If true that for the IPF, good for Spack and the football program. I should point out, many programs at ISU are finding donors to make fairly significant gifts, however the crown jewel, the Mens Bball program is not... Hmm... wonder why?

Athletics has made he IPF a top priority since at least 2014. This gift will benefit all sports, not just football.

Priority since 2014, thoughts on when it actually gets built? 2040?

I like what NIU has. 80,000 sq. ft. with a full football field and a small sprint area. It's nice.
North Dakota is 200,000 sq. ft. with a full football field and an eight-lane 300-meter track. The track is capable of hosting meets with field events. Baseball, softball, and track can all safely practice at the same time. It's more nicer.

I watched the gymnastics team run 100-yard gassers on the indoor field at Michigan State so yes everyone can benefit.

Brennan, clearly, has two priorities...this one seems to be gathering a little momentum. The second one needs to happen on the bball side of things.
