    To startup a hockey team its supposed to cost 88 million dollars we are having a rough time scraping toghether 1/3 of that for a multisport complex. source: penn state hockey, use google.

    I would guess you would have to have both mens and womens hockey for this to work, probably about 2-3 million a year in upkeep. Its very likely the sport could pay for its yearly cost after a few years. But it would take ALONG time to make back damn near 100 million dollars (startup cost+6 years operation)...........Could the sport make 12 million in 6 years? Maybe. Could it make 100 million HELL NO.

    Maybe if the scheels family and a few others take direct interest in DI hockey in fargo, otherwise its not gonna happen.

    $14,261,707 guessing our athletic budget would have to be a minimum of 16-17 million for this to even be remotly feasible.. Id rather spend that money on football and basketball
