UND Athletics High Performance Center

[Teeder11]

The facility? Yes! I am impressed and like it a lot!

I am too. It was just breathtaking the other day when I walked in it.  Pictures do not do it Justice at all.

 I don't know much about Bison athletic buildings because basically I don't care but I know they are also looking to save construction money where they can on the remodeled BSA. 

What I find interesting is I can't remember the last time UND has had to raise any sort of money to build any significant athletic building.  Before I was  born?  Hyslop? 

Alerus: city owned. 

REA: one nice fellow. 

Betty: one nice lady bonded cause of one nice fellow. 

Old Ralph: students voted to raise the money themselves. 

Am I missing something?

 

One indoor practice facility with 30 years to fundraise?

I think you are having some funding issues.

[jdub27]

Interesting. I brought this subject up before and was told funding wasn't a problem?

Not sure who said that?  The important things were completed  They shifted some things that weren't deemed important out of Phase 1 and moved a few other things (bleachers) to outside both phases and can be added at a later time.  They unfortunately didn't have any old wooden bleachers they could leave in.

The only area fan base that I've seen claiming money is no issue is a few clowns from Fargo U.  They clearly have no clue.

I'd say funding for this phase, as built, wasn't a problem. Evidence? The State doesn't let you build unless you have the funding in hand for what you are proposing to build. 

Have some things been shifted from Phase One to Phase Two? Most assuredly. However, ...

• big honkin' building ... check
• 100 yard football field ... check
• 8 lane track ... check
• space in place for future contingencies (i.e. Phase Two) ... check

Honestly, for a "training facility" that's a pretty solid and important start. 

[UND1983]

They raised 19.5 million dollars.  There is not a funding issue.  

They now need to raise another 10 million probably to finish Phase 2.  Which they knew all along.

Every year they dragged their feet cost them more and more money.

[UNDBIZ]

Cost overruns ≠ fundraising shortfall.  Now, they do need to raise/allocate more money to meet the cost overruns, that is an issue, but they had the money necessary to pay the initial estimate.

Give it time. The news will come out.

[UND1983]

What will come out?   That they need more money to build Phase 2 and the parts they had to cut from Phase 1?   Yep you are correct.  

[Teeder11]

Faison put that "out" months ago, in case anyone wasn't paying attention.  

[homer]

After seeing all the videos and pictures from today's practice i am more excited and just impressed with this building than I was before. Hopefully as the other teams begin using it momentum can be built for phase 2.

From what Ive heard the school is running a huge deficit.  Should have been more specific. And yes the funding issues of the IPF came out sometime ago.

so again its a persoal attack even though theinformation is true

Saying you bs with someone isn't a personal attack. Nobody said it was true. Cas is not a legitimate source.

I don't know if it's true or not but what reaction did you expect when you come here and say I talked to a guy and this is what he said?
