A Photo Tribute to the Old Ralph

[NoiseInsideMyHead]

To commemorate the demolition of the Old Ralph, I would like to share some pictures taken just prior to her demise.

Aren't they standing on the site of what used to be the eastern-most dorm on the campus?

I know it had to happen, but this is sad. So many great memories in that place. Even the bad memories are good memories... I love walking into the new Ralph, but the Winter Sports Center felt like going home.

Not quite, that area is fenced off. I think they were standing just to the north of where East Hall was (which was demolished after my freshman year at UND). I was there watching some of the demolition today. Bittersweet.......bitter because we are losing an iconic building; sweet because of the state-of-the-art IPF that will come of it.

I may have to get over there and maybe get a small piece of concrete as a keepsake. May have to be sneaky to get inside the orange fences!!

Yea, East Hall, that was the name of the building. I lived in the KE house just north of there. Perfect location for hockey games.

Is the building gone now? Please take a photo with it gone. Also when is ground breaking for the new building?

If it's gone already, that's a very efficient demolition project. That's not exactly a small building.

I have only scene a photo with the current team. I haven't seen any work photos past the beginning stage.

Thanks MissSioux

[jimdahl]

Wow, that brings back memories. That's still what I picture when I think of "the Ralph". I know, I'm old.

Guess I had never seen a picture of the Sioux locker room. I'd been in the visitors locker room, but never got to see the Sioux room.

Thanks.
