The all-weather “Hawkway” between "Hsylop" at Memorial Village and the "Fritz" Pollard Athletic Center will be built out by the old brick from Memorial Stadium (I think).

I guess I meant more the larger "concrete" thingys they had sitting on the corner when they were tearing down the old stadium.

Screenshot from the above video where you can really see how cool this part of campus will be when all buildings, softball field, new track, etc. are complete.

This is a great addition to our community.  Sounds like the HS State Softball tournament will be hosted there next spring.  It won't hardly cost the State anything as the Albrecht's wanted to make sure this would benefit both the university and the youth.  I was told what the state had to pay NDSU in 2023 to host the State Tournament at their facility.  It was ridiculous and should never be hosted there again.

Would be cool if UND got a decible meter and somehow connected it to the scoreboard.  Like a pitch speed board in baseball for example... always displayed.  Would maybe help to encourage crowd noise.

Chaves says the Pollard Center addition will be done in January. One thing I didn’t know is that it has a lower level that is level with the field inside the Pollard, so it’s even bigger than it looks from the outside. They’ll also be able to walk right out to the outdoor practice field on the ground level.

No reason why the Betty can’t make upgrades and look like this some day.

Update on the best facilities in the region (on top of the nicest campus, growing enrollment, etc.). HPC Phase II will have the largest weight room in the Dakotas as well.

This ought to help our coaches recruit quality student-athletes who get it done in the classroom and on the field/court/ice.

Someone that works for UND athletics/at the Ralph was telling me last summer how the women's soccer team has such an advantage in recruiting due to their locker room & facilities being at The Ralph. That they get players that they probably shouldn't just because they come on their visit and are blown away. After getting a tour of The Ralph/their facilities they say they have to come here.
