If you were RG, what facilities project would you prioritize?

In case anyone noticed the Well Off Videos, when we scrimmage inside the IPF, they cannot use the endzones and shrink the field to 80 yards because of the track.

I strongly feel that an indoor Track-Soccer-Lacrosse Building over on East Campus next to the Soccer and Track Facilities would be epic and would allow for the IPF to put in a new matching full size field with sides and ends that would be better for practice, scrimmage, and Pro Days.

EDIT: If you want to do an indoor track event, you can still bring in a travelling curved and sloped track and put it over the turf.

We have the outdoor fields (as in 4 of them) if we want regulation. No need to make extra unnecessary expenditures. It’s not like we’re in the south where it can get to 100+ consistently in fall camp.

1 key injury plus inability to practice full field, plus appearances matter. It is a plus for all programs and gives Track, Soccer, and Lacrosse more autonomy.
I could see Franklin also getting turf

Yup. We should tear it down and close Colorado and build a new one thats wider.

The building is huge
It just has a track that was not built bigger
If the building was 10 yards longer and 10 yards wider it would be amazing
It was not
I built indoor sports complexes! Whoever designed that was stupid, do not defend it.
My solution is to accept that stupid design, build a $3-$4 Million basic indoor center on East Campus, then fully turf the IPF and it would be a beautiful football complex. With a turf stadium and indoor building, Franklin should also be turf, plus it is the tailgating spot. The two grass fields down by the creek should be kept so the team could practice prior to a grass stadium game.

Man! You really do not like our IPF, do you?

A regulation soccer field is 120 yards by 80 yards. The building with bleachers would have to be, like, 180 yards by 150 yards or something. That would be 250,000 SF. If you could build it for, say, $200 per SF, that would cost $50 million.

You have been as relentless on this topic as the Indian scammers have been on mobile phones. If the CU AD was seeing this, they would just delete the message and report as junk.

Let him cook, DBT! Just need $3-$4m to build a basic facility!

According to my research the cost of a prefabricated Butler type building is $25 to $50 per square foot. So one big enough to house a regulation sized soccer field would be in the $6 million to $12 million range.

But CU has architectural standards that may require something a bit more high end than a metal building. My gut tells me that a building like that in Boulder would cost significantly more. But I’ve never been a good cost estimator!

He also thinks that 4-5 concerts at Folsom would generate enough money to fund the west side expansion/renovation.

 

[Bear Fiend]

Based on the economic climate, it’s time to copy CSU and plant some nice shrubs.

50k for a game. I'll be generous and assume they can fit that many for concerts and sell them all out (current estimations are 43k for a concert).

Assume average tickets are $200, again, I'm being generous, and they can still sell out at that rate.

5*50000*$200 = $50m in top line revenue.

Assume the school gets 20% of that (I suspect that's generous also, but have nothing to back it) --> $10m/year.
