Can we just return the bubble and build a permanent structure? šŸ˜‚

I know exactly who you are…and we know some of the same people. And many of those people think you are a joke.
No you don’t. Give us a list of top UM donors I am friend with or close to or say what projects they funded. Point out the ones who have been approached by UM to give millions. None of these people live in the Missoula area. Only 1 lives in MT.

lol this was not unexpected. Many thought we should just build a permanent structure and do it the right way instead of trying to go the cheap route. It's the same type of short sighted mistake we made with the upper deck expansion in 2009 when we cut back from 4k seats to 2k seats. Future vision is not UM's best skillset haha.
 
The UofM needs to take all of its new crypto money and put it on 0 on a roulette board in Vegas. Get a permanent structure funded asap.
In 2019 UM did a debt refinancing that got them hundreds of millions of dollars that they invested in new campus infrastructure like the new dining hall and the new dorm currently being built. IDK if they're in a position to do something like this again but if they are able to, then perhaps some of that money could be put towards a permanent facility. And maybe we could get our money back for the bubble as well.
 
As long as the damn thing is under warranty, abd we don't have to pay for it, I guess we're okay. But if the damn thing keeps failing and appearing with " self- manufactured " skylights, I say sue them or at least have our lawyers explore suing them.

( Three months ago Car Shield šŸ›” called me and wanted to sell me a warranty for my GRIZ maroon 2013 Nissan Leaf šŸƒ, s compact, 4 door electric car for $ 150 a month. I told their salesman, " No, that's $ 1,800 a year for a car with only 50,000 miles on it. " . So CS did their best car-lot routine, " Well, before you leave, let me talk to my manager" routine. They called me back today and knocked that down to $ 89.99 a month, which is way better than $ 90.00.a month : ) !!! ... Maybe I should call CS back and start dickering with them on coverage for our bubble ? : )
 
UM bought what they could afford within the timeline it was deemed required...happens every day in the real world. If you have issue, open that wallet.
I think a lot of people would have if they wouldn’t have tried to keep it so cloak and dagger and only to the QB club and same old well of boosters. Look at how fast they are fundraising in Bozeman as a collective. Yes the bulk is coming from big money, but the buy in for their fans statewide is going to push it over the top and get their master stadium plan much quicker than any expansion we do.

Is your post accurate? If so, how do you now?

Because fund raising for the facility was this big secret. Also, not sure comparing Bozeman fundraising to Missoula is currently an equal evaluation.
