Indoor Practice Facility

[AKBison]

Is this implying they haven't been able to raise enough money so they're just going to do it in phases? I can see where they want the indoor practice space first, while continuing to use SHAC and dome facilities for other things with the goal of moving all of that later.

This is good news. Get the IPF built and then redesign the rest of it.

Per the Bison 1660 Twitter Feed...sounds like Larsen announced on The Insiders that they'll be breaking ground on Phase 1 of the IPF this Spring.

I heard those exact words two years ago when I made my pledge. I'd like to see something pretty soon for my money

I hope you're right. I fear it's just "get what we can now before everything completely goes to shit" but I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

Another part of it is steel prices are skyrocketing now. Or maybe just a bad coincidence. Not sure how much steel is in design but my guess when they get final bids the material costs are going to be much higher than what they had projected.

Yep. Not only steel but lumber.

Yep. The main structure is what's important. It will take a year to build so once it's done, we can easily do an addition and that gives us some time to raise that last 5-10 million or whatever we need. Heck maybe re raise more than needed and we get something even better. Seems really dumb to wait and watch prices rise and delay the timeline for the other parts that are non essential. This will be awesome when done.

Hope they don’t have columns that can’t be moved!
