Thanks AFCAT, I was unable to attend so all the photos are really appreciated! Looks like they are still working on some finishing touches. It’s nice to see Sletten get recognized. Any thoughts on your overall impression of the building?

Re: Bobcat Athletic Complex...Construction
I thought the place was amazing. Obviously, a huge upgrade. I don't believe I've ever worked at such a nice facility. There were a lot of people attending the opening. I saw Dennis Erickson was there and a lot of big benefactors too. Costello did mention that they are already doing work on the field house upgrades (study center, etc.).

I agree! Great idea to tie in the MT high school community.HelenaCat95 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 9:08 pmI love the H.S. helmets from around MT wall!!!! Great idea.
Pictures look great. What an amazing facility. IMHO we need to ride this momentum to phase 2 and beyond. Has the fund raising begun?

Re: Bobcat Athletic Complex...Construction
They will always take your money. Remember 20,000 fans might go to a game. Only 500 donated. I think Waded puts money where she needs it, athletics will be a few years before they get some more.Bozcat003 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 9:21 amNew Scoreboard + indoor facility (would benefit all bozeman) are next I hopeCatfanatic84 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 9:18 amI agree!

Re: Bobcat Athletic Complex...Construction
We very much enjoyed the Grand Opening of the BAC on Friday night. It is certainly a fantastic facility. We are unfortunately, a little disappointed as well. We were led to believe during the fundraising phase, that those who donated $5,000 or more toward the project, would receive recognition, permanently documented within the building. The success and growth of MSU is a great thing to see. It is, however, a little sad to feel somewhat unappreciated after giving what should be considered, a generous donation.

Re: Bobcat Athletic Complex...Construction
Doubtful, it's the same 500-700 donors every time we raise money and they're likely tapped out for a while. Donor Fatigue.Catfanatic84 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 09, 2021 9:18 amI agree!

Re: Bobcat Athletic Complex...Construction
When I toured it the previous week they were just working on the donor wall and it was said that $5k and above were to be displayed there. What was the level actually recognized on the wall?Mrs TrackCat wrote: ↑Sun Oct 10, 2021 4:07 pmWe very much enjoyed the Grand Opening of the BAC on Friday night.

Re: Bobcat Athletic Complex...Construction
From what we recall, there were no donation amounts indicated on the donor wall. However, some of the donor names were in bigger font than others.kmax wrote: ↑Sun Oct 10, 2021 4:30 pmWhen I toured it the previous week they were just working on the donor wall and it was said that $5k and above were to be displayed there.

Re: Bobcat Athletic Complex...Construction
I believe it was $10k minimum and above got the recognition on the stairs. I’m not big into getting recognized but I would have donated a bit more had I known that was the cutoff. I did purchase a locker for $5k too and am having a family members name put on it. Hopefully, that locker recognition plaque won’t be made out of paper.Mrs TrackCat wrote: ↑Sun Oct 10, 2021 5:27 pmFrom what we recall, there were no donation amounts indicated on the donor wall.

Re: Bobcat Athletic Complex...Construction
That's what I saw on the wall - 10k and above. Don't recall seeing anything about donors on the lockers, but that doesn't mean they weren't there.
Can't make up my mind as to which is better - 55-21 or 48-14.

The names aren't on the lockers yet. They still have around 25 lockers to sell, so sign up now.
