I had no plan to be negative. I'm quite thrilled the ball park is coming. I am just concerned about the location with all the flooding that happens in that area when it rains, Believe me, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me when I read about the plans for the new field. It's been needed since Coach Cook was here. I'm not ignorant to the fact it will have an economic impact on the area. That's all part of the plan. I just don't want to have to paddle to my car if there is a rain delay/out some day. Thank you for judging me.
John Sutherland said that he had some great conversations/visits with former and present Herd Major League players. Expect a lot of money from them.
I was town in earlier this year and was told by someone in the AD's office and a group of former players that it will happen this time(and was told they have money). The one thing that kinda makes this different is the improvements to the pool/Gullickson Hall is included. Maybe im wrong but lots of people seems for sure it will take place
Correct. They would NOT announce it if the money weren't there. As I said above, Sutherland told us that at basketball practice 2 months ago. He told us we would get the official announcement during homecoming week.
It appeared that way since I started the thread. I stand corrected. You have my apologies.
I’m impressed because on the surface all that construction would carry a $50 mil price tag.
that seems to be a little high to me. I don't know but what do base that estimate on?
Power Park I think was over $20 mil. The one up north about the same. Most of these basketball practice facilities are around $20 to $25 mil. Plus tennis and now swimming. Seems to me that would require some construction money.
Keep in mind, we aren't building a basketball practice facility. Just remodeling Gullickson and adding new coaches offices.
