Next Thursday in Rapid City, South Dakota State will seek permission from the South Dakota Board of Regents to move forward on a project that would likely be one of the most substantial, and certainly the most expensive, in athletic department history.
According to the budget and finance committee agenda posted Wednesday on the Regents’ Web site, SDSU will make a preliminary facility statement regarding a student-athlete development center. Basically, SDSU executive vice president for administration Michael Reger will request approval to develop a preliminary design for the first phase of a privately-funded facility that would house coaches offices, locker rooms and team rooms for the school’s football, baseball, softball, soccer, track and field, cross country and tennis programs, plus an academic center, a weight room, space for hospitality and exhibits and athletic training facilities.
The building would be located beyond the north end zone of Coughlin-Alumni Stadium and could eventually be expanded to include an indoor fieldhouse training facility.
