Montana St. stadium construction???

[Grizzaholic]

Help a Griz out who doesn't get to Bozo very often. Is the construction on hold until the season is over then it will resume? How are you liking the turf? What is next on the building agenda, sideline seating or endzones?

Phase 1 - Sky Boxes on the student side, set to start this spring
Phase 2 - Indoor practice facility and track, academic center and new training/weight facility.
Phase 3 - Re-build of the student section to match the alumni side.
Phases 4 and 5 - Bowling in both end-zones.

Phases 1 and 2 are estimated at $19M. After the sky boxes, the focus will turn to the other facility improvements, then back to the stadium. I hope I'm wrong, but I might be using a walker by the time we get to 20K+ capacity. We need some WHALES to surface with large donations, quick?

So the idea on it is to get the Skyboxes in to generate some much needed revenue for the other parts of the stadium???

I did have the plans on a neat little interactive thingy, but couldn't find it and have been thinking about it since Sunday night after I watched the EWU game.

Yep, the additional 38 skysuites are a revenue source in addition to the existing 38 skysuites which will help fund other expansions.

I don't know if this is what you had earlier, but this video outlines the expansion phases.

This is a good overhead of the final product.

That looks like it could be the nicest FCS facility around if built!

That is pretty much what everybody in the state of Montana is thinking.

Oh it will be built. It's just a matter of when. I'm crossing my fingers for under 10 years.

Wow that model looks awesome. Would be pretty cool to have 2 best I-AA stadiums in the state of Montana.

Yeah it would. That's half the reason I want this to get done so fast.

That is what I meant, just didn't come out right.

Awesome looking stadium. What is the capacity going to be?

[th0m]

Looks sweet alright. I'd rather see some deck than building out, but since you want the boxes for revenue first, I can see why doing it this way is smartest. Also I can sympathise with the time restraints when it comes to money... I hope JMU's facility will be done in 2012...will be AWESOME.

Total would be about 22k when it's finished.

Total would be about 22k when it's finished.

But the design also allows it to go to 28,000 very easily as demand increases.
