...I totally wasn't expecting this to go over Dacotah field and was expecting it on go on the old turf.

Makes more sense where they are doing it, though!

The $380,000 mentioned in the article is only for construction to support the bubble.

The bubble and related items cost $1,525,000. The total cost will be $1,905,000

Well, crap. I was so excited about $200k of $380k already raised(52.6%). $200k of $1,905k isn't nearly so good(10.5%).

If we really need $2 million, lets offer to any Big Donor and rename the place.
