[GetEmGriz]

It's been long overdue, and it's about time this was built! This is going to be a huge game-changer for the Griz program! xnodxxbowx

Damn that looks nice!

Looks great! I'm curious as to how that compares to what you saw in the SC/Boone trip a couple of years back?

Fan support is probably the biggest differentiator between EWU and UM. They can get funding like this, but Spokane would rather go watch WSU lose time after time then come, support, and invest in EWU football, even though it's closer and more successful. It's frustrating! We keep talking about the Gateway project. And I know it's a much bigger ask then 14 mill. But were trying to get from lower level facilities to upper tier, and we've got a longer way to go than UM.

I want to say congrats to the Griz. But this does provide an advantage for them, and it pisses me off! Maybe tomorrow, I can muster the thumbs up. :(

Major props to the Washington brothers and all the other private donors. Our school and program owe them a huge debt of gratitude. xbowx

Hot damn that looks glorious.

Knowing how long it takes to secure funding for these types of things makes it that much more impressive!

The renderings of the new Griz complex reminded me a lot of what App State has going on with their locker room.

ASU has the nicest facilities that I've seen, and it's beautiful. When completed, the new Griz Championship Center will eclipse what the Mountaineers have now, but not by much...IMO.

[Theee Catrabbit]

That's a cute little thing you guys are going to be building there.......

[centennial]

Looks nice, good job griz. Wish you guys get some new coaches as well.

[Bisonoline]

Wow that looks impressive. Congrats!!!!!! Should be a great recruiting tool.

It looks to be of a similar quality as far as the parts that match up and so forth. The App locker room and weight training areas were very impressive and it looks like this will be right in there.

[IBleedYellow]

So...when is ETA? I'm doubtful we'd get to see it next year when we arrive, eh?

Wow....looks great!!

Montana is one of the premier FCS programs and this will help them stay there.

Come on man, you cant compare real football at Washington State to what you guys have in the wheat field. You just tied for 5th on the list of all time dumbest things said on the interweb

With you. But that's OK. You still own 1 through 4! xsmiley_wix

Cant we?

[kalm]

Oh...and congrats to the Griz program. Awesome looking facility!

[uofmman1122]

We've landed an absolutely stupid number of recruits this year that we'd be lucky to land even one or two of in years past.

This is gonna be huge.

Agreed on the new coaches point, though. Short of a semifinal appearance or better, I think it's time to move on.
