Unless you know something, it looks like it will be done this summer.

Would be nice if there was a golf facility that allowed people to hit balls outside in the winter. Might help to attract workers who like golf.

Source?

Sounds great, considering a Top Golf-like facility would also be included.

THIS It would be a draw for people who drive up for games from the Twin Cities as well.

?

If you could get past the paywall did it mention anything of note? They get official confirmation?

This

Oh really? Did you post it?

Sounds like that guy could work with the Ray Richards Developers - he could potentially expand his business to the new building.

Maryville.... looks like they may be making a move. https://chesterfieldmo.portal.civicclerk.com/event/8482/files/attachment/321

Paywall, but the ice sheet at the Carlson Center in Fairbanks reduced the dimensions last summer. It's NHL size now, or close. https://www.newsminer.com/news/local_news/carlson-center-rink-bleachers-gets-an-upgrade/article_38c8856a-97c2-11ef-a688-bb2555726253.html I think UAA's on campus arena is an NHL sized sheet as well.

As currently zoned, is the city currently getting any tax rev from the property?

Kind of sad so many people prefer UND continue to lose a half a million dollars each year on it's golf course. UND is funded by taxpayers as well, so that's taxpayer money, no? The golf facility will apparantly make continued operations at ray richards sustainable, and the same could potential be said for the golf program, as it will provide essential facilities for them. This facility would be a new and different community asset in a way that Albotros isn't. UND should shut down the golf course (another community asset), sell the property, and shut down the men's golf program if this doesn't get the go-ahead, imo. Can't be losing taxpayer money now.

Pretty crazy how often you rip Fenton without understanding all the facts. Notre Dame announced their intention to join Hockey East two years prior to Fenton becoming NCHC commissioner.

Agreed. ACHA is the best and theirs are the only club championships that truly mean anything, IMO. This explains a lot though: About the ECAC The ECAC (Eastern College Athletic Conference) is an eighty-year old organization with well over 200 members schools across all three NCAA Divisions - I, II and III - that exists to enhance the experience of student-athletes participating in intercollegiate athletics, and provide great value for universities and colleges, by sponsoring championships, leagues, bowl games, tournaments and other competitions throughout the Northeast. Most of the ECAC's members also belong to another conference, which is often the school's primary conference. The ECAC also hosts a comprehensive esports program that presently involves over 270 schools fielding 1500 teams across 21 different esports games, streamed live four nights a week. The ECAC's esports platform has and continues to expand the geographic footprint of the Conference nationally. Additionally, the ECAC is becoming involved in sponsoring competitions and leagues involving other varsity and club sports that do not fall under the umbrella of the NCAA.

Lets be real - the P5 have enough funding. Illinois could have easily done it. Georgia could easily do it. Iowa could. They just don't want the distraction and the administrators don't want to annoy existing FB/BB boosters that want every penny dumped into those sports. The P5 budgets have pretty much doubled over the last decade or so.

Looks like the REA also schedule a concert the night of the Youngstown game.
