    Good news. 5 million should be a nice upgrade.

    Actually great news, but will they be able to raise the money, while fund raising for the Indoor practice facility...maybe easier said than done.

    they have a ton of projects going on at once. Since football is king, they will more than likely get the donations first. Once we can crack 30 million, raising 5 seems like chump change

    How about an 80' high wind break surrounding the entire complex and underground heating like Lambaeu Field. Need to make it useful for more than 2 weeks per year. Second thought just put a roof over it

    Definitely needed and deserved for a championship program. When this new track project and IPF are completed, all the facilities appear to be updated.

    Softball IPF, and volleyball could probably use another behind the scenes upgrade(locker rooms, offices, etc).
