Considering Brookings High School is the one that paid to put the lights in at CAS.

Re: Football's future upgrades
My feelings are that field turf is a great product that takes the unpredicatable South Dakota weather out of the equation and insures we have a game that will not be dicated by the field conditions. My understandng is there are no where near the injury issues on the field turf versus the old artificial turf.
On a another level I'm wondering as the time to rebuild Coughlin approaches who will pay for it? Would there be some kind of state contribution to the rebuilding costs? Did the state pay for the Dakota Dome and subsequent costs for the new roof etc? It would only seem fair that the entire cost is not put on the backs of private donors.Comment

Re: Football's future upgrades
Perhaps the BOR can sell the field back to the SDSU Foundation, similar to what they did with the Solberg Hall restoration.I am Ed. Fear me.Comment

Re: Football's future upgrades
Why just CAS? Think big. If the State has really washed its hands of athletic facilities at SDSU, why not then just sell the entire athletic campus, all the way out to US 14 to the Foundation.Originally posted by jackrabit1
The Foundation could maybe do a bit of commercial development, in the manner of many modern stadium/arena projects. A unique little "RabbitTown" restaurant/bar/shops area would not only enhance the athletic campus but also the Innovation Campus next door. Just a crazy wild-hare (heh) idea."I think we'll be OK"Comment

Re: Football's future upgrades
first of all if they are going to put field turf on CAS they should put it on the new baseball stadium also (think big).... I know its hard to push BHS off of the field but what about this.... Have SDSU and BHS work out an agreement where they put a D-I quality track complex with a football field and let the high school play there and the college can have there track meets there... it would kill 2 birds with one stone..Comment

Re: Football's future upgrades
Huh???? Either I was exposed to too much lacquer thinner at work today or there is more money coming into the athletic department then is made public for an idea like this. I'll go with the lacquer thinner ideaon this one.Comment

Re: Football's future upgrades
First of all high schools have 2 seperate funds (general and capital outlay) I don't know what BHS books look like but I know alot of schools have alot of money that they have to spend on capital projects (or they loose it)... second of all everybody on here states that SDSU needs a D-I quality track so work somethin out together have a few fundraisers and I don't think it would take long for it to be built... thats my optomistic opinion.Comment

Re: Football's future upgrades
C'mon Joe, list the schools that have a lot of money in capital outlay funds to spend! And they don't "loose" them. I don't believe you've ever served on a school board or seriously studied their funding so you could understand what you are talking about here.Originally posted by joeboo22
As to the state paying anything...forget it. Yes, USD got money to build the Dakota Dome from the state...the same amount SDSU got to build the HPER complex (plus an inflation factor). But those days are gone...you will not see athletics at either place getting state money to build athletic facilities of any type.Comment

Like I said I don't know BHS accounts but I know my high school (Bon Homme) and nearby schools Avon and Parkston had to build or loose it (5-6 years ago) (right before Janklow got out) Bon Homme added a a gym and a cafateria and re rubbered there track.. Avon redid there Track and builit a pres box and Parkston added on a bunch but some of it was with the National Guard.Comment
