Anyone know how much each of the phases is expected to cost? I've seen the plan document that shows what all they want to do, but i haven't seen dollar amounts and I am already putting my budget together for when I win the Mega Millions tonight.

I plan to win the $600 million lotto this weekend so this thing is pretty much a done deal.

The IPF is the same as SDSU's and that was $32 million. Some of what they had in that cost will already be included in our Phase 1.

I want it all.

I'll give MSU my Powerball winnings and keep the Megamillion for myself.

Phase 1 is a $16 million ask. https://msubobcats.com/sports/2017/9/20 ... spx?id=352

Imagine if 10,000 of the Bobcat faithful that show up on Saturday’s committed to just giving an extra $250 each year for 4 years. That would put us over the $16 million needed. Then say another 10,000 alumni or just anyone willing to donate gave $250 for 4 years. I also wonder, why hasn’t Learfield made a huge donation to MSU, or paid for a new video board?

it is still strange to me that the program can't find a "denny Washington" in the Bozeman area to make a large donation toward athletics.... whether that be a person or a business.... Comparing the demographics of Bozeman to Missoula, its not even close. There is sooooo much money in the Bozeman area. Ted frickin Turner has a ranch their for Christ sake (not that he is a bobcat fan, but just an example).

Denny Washington was raised most his life in Missoula, MT and his net worth is 6 billion. Not sure those guys are just easy to come by out the back door of bobcat stadium

We do have people like that but they donate to the academic buildings... stupid academics...

While it doesn’t seem to be aging that well to me, the video board really isn’t that old. Learfield just helped MSU put very nice new video boards in the Fieldhouse.

Exactly. Our people give to the academic side. Can’t lie, if I had enough money, I’d rather give it to academics than to the football team.

Learfield is spending $1 million on updates of all the video boards at Boise State.

Why would there be any need to update a video board that doesn't get used anyway?

I don't understand and remain frustrated on this stuff. I was one of only 700 or so individuals to donate to the EZ. That is mindboggling. The same night that number was announced, I was at a county fundraiser for a humane society that had 800 people. We routinely get 18,000 for a game but only 700 ponied up? All the successful grads? Geeeezzzzzzuuuuus that was embarrassing.

I heard the dUMb got over 3000 individuals in the first month of their champions (haha) center campaign. What the hell is the matter with MSU? I hope the new AD has the answer to the riddle.

The Montana Board of Regents approved the Champions Center in November 2014 and fundraising efforts took nearly two years to pool the $14 million together to privately fund the project.

The first $7 million came from Kevin and Kyle Washington, on behalf of the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation.

Soooo that article says she is worth 3 billion... see if my math is correct here:

If she were to donate 15 million to the stadium fund... that would be the equivalent of someone worth 1 million dollars, donating 5 thousand..........

C’mon now......... that should be easy.
