I know we've seen a lot of very generous donations to the program, athletics, and MSU in general, but you know there has to be MSU billionaires out there that could throw 50 million into the program.Catbacker_1 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 05, 2023 3:49 pmBison can thank one of my old bosses for their new shinny building.

Tom's a graduate of NDSU so I dont think U of M ever had a chance. Was fun jawing with him about FCS football. Glad he was able to retire, that whole family is super down to earth.PHAT CAT wrote: ↑Thu Jan 05, 2023 10:20 pmBlattner cashed in. NDSU's, Dennis Washington.

In other words, they have a rough idea of what the cost will be right now and they have at least half of that amount already raised. That’s what the “doing very well” part refers to.Cat Grad wrote: ↑Wed Apr 19, 2023 2:22 pmOkay...

That sounds promising. I hope it's more than just a bubble but whatever they do is helpful.Catsrgrood wrote: ↑Wed Apr 19, 2023 2:49 pmIn other words, they have a rough idea of what the cost will be right now and they have at least half of that amount already raised.

As long as it is "state-of-the-art" I'll be fine with whatever design.

Re: Indoor facility
Would be fantastic if we completed the IPF before jizz finished the bubble.
That would be an automatic win if the brawl challenge.

Re: Indoor facility
It still amazes me how various schools can raise as much money as they do. As MSU is where I received my bachelors degree and Army Commission, I sincerely hope all of the frequent posters here contribute to the known needs of MSU. One can only imagine what the enrollment of MSU could become with increased student housing. (And I would appreciate campus condos near the front porch of the university for game week festivities...)

Re: Indoor facility
Not indoor related. I drove up to Hyalite today and stopped to see the progress on the fitness facility. I have my doubts they will open by September but the facility is coming along.
