BTW, I think we REALLY need to realize that this is Phase I of what I presume is a TWO phase project. What do I mean.
Looking at the drawings, the new building (phase I) is the building at the northwest corner of Rynearson (as indicated in the press release).

By volume, the BIGGEST part of the project is the building which will be a new indoor practice facility with the new indoor track (replacing Bowen). That presumably is phase II and quite expensive too.
I assume part of Phase I is moving the OUTDOOR track and the soccer fields.
Where is this going and what is an unresolved question? The video board is integrated into new IPF, which is Phase II. So my question is how does one do the video board if the structure to which it is to be attached won't be built until $ becomes available? Will it be 'free standing' until the new IPF is built. (BTW, the 'old' IPF will be rented out).
Looking at the concept video, it appears that the new building will be much closer to the north end zone (where the Rynearson track is now). I can't tell if the playing field will be moved southward say 10 - 20 yards. Once again, I'm looking at the video to make these statements.
My hope that as Phase I is completed that folks will step up with fundraising, etc. so that the remaining funds can be obtained to complete the ENTIRE project....
I'm now wondering IF the old football building, etc. stands until AFTER the new building is complete and work begins on Phase II?
