I haven't read the whole thread. Are we almost there on the IPF?
Nope, it was canceled due to BN not liking the size and design.
Well, way to go guys. Guess we can't have anything nice! :lol:
Real reason is the BOR said we can't get permission to even design one until the griz have theirs inflated.
Slight inaccuracy, fixed it for you though.
INFLATED sort of like their egos...

Nothing less than what the ducks have in Eugene will do. Only about 200 million to get it done, so put everything else on hold.
All kidding aside if you ever have a chance to check it out....wow.

That thing is crazy looking. Money, wish we had a third of what they are putting into that building.

I'm not sure anyone said we couldn't wish. Wishing and complaining are two different things though. I'm ecstatic to see what the Cats do have planned now, but I'd love to see a Sugar Daddy/Mommy come to the rescue with a $100 million or so.

So would the IPF hurt our cold weather dominance that we saw tonight against other teams ?

IPF would give us the best of both worlds. Ability to practice harder and safer when outdoor field and weather are bad and team can always practice on bad field and in bad weather if coach wants them to keep acclimated to those conditions

To me the best thing about an IPF is not about having one in for cold but rather spring and summer weather. I would venture when we get an IPF, it won't likely be used heavily during the season. I think an IPFs value comes during spring when MT weather is garbage and in camp when it's hot and often smokey. We're gonna have the best of both worlds: the ability to practice indoors in April and August and the advantage of acclimation in November and December. Our cup overfloweth...man

There isn’t a true rendering yet, but you can see comparable buildings on this thread.

Had we beaten SDSU, this crazy cold snap further justifies the need for the IPF. I’ll keep buying lotto tickets

There's been some speculation on this board that we could see construction completed within 2 years....so I'm thinking we may have it ready for the 2024 season....does that sound about right? Any more clarity around the timing of this?

We should know more by this Spring. When the money is raised, construction of the actual building won’t take that long.

Bison can thank one of my old bosses for their new shinny building. Donated nearly 20 million after they sold the family business for a measly 2.4 billion.

Crazy. I keep hoping something like this happens with Bobcat Football. I know we've seen a lot of very generous donations to the program, athletics, and MSU in general, but you know there has to be MSU billionaires out there that could throw 50 million into the program.


Great time to be a BOBCAT!
