I remember my freshman year at a UND hockey game we chanted this one a few times: Give me a C -C- Give me an O -O- Give me a N -N- Give me a D -D- Give me an O -O- Give me a M -M- Give me an S -S- Whats that spell? DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE Inappropriate, yes, but funny nonetheless.

Very good info 82Sioux. I understand wanting to get it started ASAP I just don't want them to start phase 1 and then never follow through with phase 2 and have the project be half a$$. I think the IPF has the potential to take our athletics to the next level and even though I find it hard to believe, if they find big donors for a new football stadium I think that the athletic department takes a jump that most of us can't even comprehend. Getting the games back on campus would totally change the quality, attendance, and vibe of the entire football program.

Heard that the IPF will begin construction this summer/fall with completion of phase 1 by next summer. However, I heard the athletic offices as well as some coaching offices will remain in the Hyslop. If that is the case I will be somewhat disappointed that they haven't raised the funds for the total project yet. Ideally, I would much rather them do the project right the first time rather than do the whole start then stop then restart thing. As far as the football stadium talk goes, is that just wishful thinking or has there been legitimate discussions about the potential for some high end donors contributing to a project in the future?

I graduated from the School of Business this May and there was also talk of raising money to renovate and/or build a new business school as well. On a side note, what happens to the old med school with the completion of the new one? I've heard rumors of turning them into dorms and trying to increase enrollment but I wouldn't consider it from a good source.
