So does this mean we have all the money together or are we just close enough that we can get the bid process rolling?
I suspect we have only seed money at this time to get it started. These plans will provide a better gauge of how much fundraising will be needed to make it a reality. We need this !
I like the use of natural light in the renderings.
Last I heard, more than seed money but not all of it, yet.

F Me! This is such bulls-h-i-t. Whoever thinks this is s good idea, can kiss my ass. MSU doesn't own Bozeman and our streets. This so pisses me off.

This is correct. Tying up loose ends. It’ll be ready before snow flies next season.

Looks great!

My only disappointment is it doesn't include handrails for the eastside grandstands.


While registering my vehicles the assessor stated "I have had both Cat and Griz students and alums work for me and the Griz end up working under the direction of the Cats."

So, this indicates an indoor track facility too. Is that what is going to be built over on Dyche Field or possibly built next door to the indoor at some future date?

4. MSU received $15,000,000 of legislative authority-only for construction of an indoor practice facility in House Bill 5 of the 68th Legislative Session.
5. MSU will request an authority-only budget amendment from State A&E of an additional $10,000,000 to include an indoor track facility as part of the project.

Since it says facility, I’m guessing a separate building. Where though? Possibly next to or in the vicinity of the indoor. I’m also curious what the buildings are on Dyche Field that are shown on the new indoor rendering. I know the new hotel, nursing school, and computer school are going to be on the other side of Dyche.

I live right by here and I've been dealing with the shut down, for about three to four year. Easy for you to say, when your F'n sorry ass lives in Helena.

So sell your house for $2,000,000 and move to Big Timber.
