We're only 15 months in so it's actually pretty decent.

But didn't they tell the state they wanted to raise it in 24 months, 15 months in only 9 months to go if that is still the case

Probably have some major donors in their sights. Probably
someone that might want to put their name on the building.

Actually, the original idea was to start moving dirt next June, so 6 months away.
Now one way to support the IPF and make it less painful is to pledge money over a 5 year period. No reason people can't dig deep and make an annual contribution to the IPF. And as a bonus you get all your priority points up front. So there, 5 years worth of PP in one sweep. So come one guys, pony up, I did.

Hey, some actual good news. Pockets are starting to open up again, and they hope to have the fundraising done by the end of the year. Sounds like they want it to be ready by the winter of 2022-23 at the very least. (ML said they only want to use the bubble a maximum of two more winters; apparently it's really starting to deteriorate.)

I thought all of the fat cats were breaking up with NDSU over social justice issues. :rolleyes:

Thing is, I heard two years ago when I made my pledge that construction was going to start in 2019. I'd like to see some tangible results pretty soon.
Re: Indoor Practice Facility
The new rendering they have of it really sucks. No windows on the top. Tiny garage doors that would make UNI laugh. It looks like they are trying so hard to match the Shaq and indoor track, it's ugly. Looks like an industrial warehouse. It feels like a major rip off for 40 million dollars
