New indoor practice facility

[Hammerhead]

It will be definitely be a litmus test on the reach of NDSU Football. My hunch is it will get funded fairly quickly (a couple years). Wonder who will win the naming sweepstakes...Peterson Farm Seeds, Pro Seed, Pioneer, Dekalb, or Thunder seed.

Funny. Not worth it, but funny.

How many priority points will I get with my $2.5 million donation for the new IPF?

...more points than I have lol

[imabison]

I think you transposed a few numbers there. It's $37.2 million

Minor transposition, but if you come up with the 2.25 mill for the half, i will find someone else to make up the difference
yes its 37.2 not 32.7

Take my money..

I am typically pro-more-facilities, but I think we can agree that this is a good choice. I think that the recruiting area, and the new weight room are important layups that NDSU can have for a flashy edge in recruiting - for those recruits who are drawing attention from G5/P5 schools.
Obviously we aren't trying to compete with Oregon, Clemson, and Alabama, but I think we can agree that there is a certain amount of "Sex appeal" to recruits when they see stuff like this. Very cool- hope they make the most of it.

Totally agree. As of now, we win most of the battles for the players were targeting when competing against our conference foes. That's based on being the premier program and already having incredible facilities. This will take us to the next level where we could see more and more Jabril Cox, Nick DeLuca, John Crockett, Marcus Williams, Joe Haeg, Joe May's, Kyle Emmanuel, and Billy Turner type athletes.

We either stay as is and get complacent with our facilities or take it to the next level. I'm all for taking it to the next level because some day when the G5 breaks off from the P5, well be a step ahead of the competition. We will be looked at as a G5 school and be equipped to compete

I agree. I also think these have a certain amount of "sex appeal" for recruits.

Kolpack wrote a piece on the Bison Media Blog today. In a nutshell he says NDSU won't comment on it until the final approval is done, which I think is pretty much a formality. He seems to think we could raise the money quickly. I'm optimistic we will but he seems to be really optimistic. Well see just how good of a fundraiser Matt Larson and the Foundation are.
