dmksioux Posted April 19, 2004 Posted April 19, 2004 Does anyone have any information on the "proposed" NCAA Hockey Hall of Fame. I understand that there are parties from Grand Forks that have the naming rights for such a museum. I have also heard that fund raising has already begun for building the museum on 42nd street. Just curious if anyone else has any info? Quote
Sandman Posted April 20, 2004 Posted April 20, 2004 That would be very cool if Grand Forks could get that. Quote
Smoggy Posted April 20, 2004 Posted April 20, 2004 It was my understanding that it was kind of going with the hotel at the Alerus. Quote
Sandman Posted April 20, 2004 Posted April 20, 2004 The Ralph should expand across from the north parking lot. Quote
dmksioux Posted April 20, 2004 Author Posted April 20, 2004 The museum could not be placed next to the Ralph because that is on "university" owned land. The NCAA does not want to show any biases so it needs to be placed off of University land. I believe the NCAA football hall of fame is the same way in South Bend (Not on Notre Dames Campus). This topic has been discussed before. I know that parties interested in putting the museum next to the Ralph, have the naming rights for a certain amount of time. If they choose not to build by certain deadline, I'm assuming they lose the naming rights. What I'm wondering is if anyone knows whether or not a decision to build next to the Alerus has been made. The fairly reliable source I have states that fund raising for such a project has begun. I guess I'm looking for confirmation, although the person who told me fundraising has begun is in a position to know that kind of info. Quote
star2city Posted April 21, 2004 Posted April 21, 2004 dmksioux: Here's an article from last year on the New Decade Horizons group, which is driving force behind the Collegiate Hockey Hall of Fame. For confirmation, you can check with one of the members of this group. Since Canad Inns is building their hotel/water park/movie theater complex at the Alerus Center, fundraising for the Hall of Fame should be going forward now. Whether that effort is successful or not will be determined. Quote

dmksioux Posted April 21, 2004 Author Posted April 21, 2004 So lets say that fundraising is and has been occuring for the past couple of months, that doesn't necessarily mean a decision has been made wether or not to build. Would that be a safe assumption to make, s2c? Quote
