However, with a campaign just finishing, I wonder when something like that could be funded. Also, you need the general student population to have access I would guess to make it easier to get approved. Being all the way out at the stadium makes that more difficult, but that's where it belongs. If that were done, the stands would have to be addressed as well. |

An indoor facility requires 15-25 million to do correctly. There are options to get some of that funding reduced. Example... if the academic side of the house can move operations there for sport management or athletic training then it becomes a partial academic use facility and can be bonded from the state. Without creative shell gaming like that, finding a private donor or a dedicated revenue stream to fund one is likely impossible.

Did John Schnatter offer to renovate our stadium but BSU turned him down because the name of the stadium would be changed? I heard this before but not sure if its even true.

Fairly positive that's hogwash. I also know they way he got naming rights to UofL's stadium was a story in an of itself and the intersection of opportunity and need that sort of backdoored another BSU alum in the process. |

I don't know that I would completely dismiss it out-of-hand. Before JoGo, this university was pretty adamant about not selling naming rights, pouring rights, or any other rights that could be used to upgrade our athletics facilities. |
