D-2 Texas A&M Commerce just built this beautiful facility 

There are probably 50 D2 teams with better locker rooms than UND.

Nice to see Wenger Corp getting in on the athletic action. Historically a music equipment manufacturer in Owatonna, MN(chairs, stands, shells, lockers, storage systems), they started diversifying into marching band support equipment, which led into athletic support equipment since the needs overlap so much.

Interesting Quote here:

Obviously, it’s been a landmark in Grand Forks with a lot of memories for a lot of people,” Ryan said. “My only question is, have you done the PR good enough so you don’t have to waste a lot of time and waste higher ed board time with people complaining about the removal of a stadium that needs to be removed?”

Of course the FB commenters on the GF Herald are being very objective and level headed on the situation.... NOT!

Whoever designed University Ave did a really nice job...planters in the medians, iron fences next to the sidewalks, street crossings with flashing lights, the landscaping....everything looks great...just time to get some of this construction done.

Grand Forks leaders agreed to buy space at a new University of North Dakota building.

The city’s Jobs Development Authority, which is comprised of Grand Forks City Council members and Mayor Brandon Bochenski, voted unanimously to pay the university’s alumni association $133,000 every year for the next 10 -- $1.3 million in total -- in exchange for a 462-square-foot workforce development center at the school’s new Nistler College of Businesses and Public Administration building.

I biked down Uni last week and was kind of shocked how much it has changed just from when I graduated in 2017. I knew all this stuff was happening but man does it look like it will be nice!

Thanks to Kenedy being such a dick. He got a lot done in a hurry because he didn’t care what anyone thought. He set up the next guy with an easy ally oop.

This can’t be too big can it? Would be a hell of a well kept secret if it is.

Who says that haven't? And if they didn't they have put a lot of effort into hounding wealthy donors. Good and bad.

Instead of sponsoring bricks at the new Union, you can now sponsor a sheet of plexiglas or a container of Clorox wipes.

[SIOUXFAN97]

why didn't they connect the union to swanson underground?  not sure if i  like the look of the union kinda connecting to a building that doesn't necessarily match?
