The Yankton Jackrabbit club designated $25,000 for the indoor facility and it is part of the $255 million.

On a more serious note. jacksfanineb might know something we don't know, and who ever this donor is, he/she might have likely wanted to keep his/her wishes silent, but its going to require a bond issue to finance the new stadium. One house helps but will not be worth 200 million or whatever ridiculous number will be needed to build the new stadium. Those in in the foundation no doubt know of several donations, but can not speak publicly of them.

Originally posted by Rabbit74 View PostJust returned from the Donors Banquet at SDSU. Over 1000 people in attendance. The $200,000,000 "It Starts with State" campaign raised over $255,000,000 in donations and pledges. Great banquet and progran and great campaign. Thanks to Lohr, Dykhouse, and Kurtenbach who co-chaired the drive and the over 23,000 individuals who made contributions.

Having Matt Krogman president of the Board of Regents will no doubt be a big plus. I am sure they will gladly accept donations from alums, but this will not be the main source of revenue as it was in 1960's. In the 1960;s they did seek multi year pledges, and ran into all sorts of resistence and we ended up with only one half of the staduim, the west stands and one dressing room and a whole bunch of bad tastes in alums mouths. Plus the students voted down twice assessments to finish the staduim.
Frost about 12 years later was financed with bonds I believe. The point I am making that bond finanicing was around in the 1960's, the BOR's atttitude was probably very anti-progressive and there were other buildings on campus that were needed at the time. Plus the Foundation was just a few file folders in the desk of an Adminstrato, and the Alumni Association was placed in charge of the fund raising which only 500 to 600k was needed to build both sides of the seating. This was the very first time that an organized effort was made to ask for money from alums. The results were on the disppointment side, but when you consider the goal currently reached, mindsets have changed.
Its another era and another time with different attitudes.Last edited by Nidaros; 04-28-2013, 09:18 AM.
