The Bubble is down!

[Da Boyz Mom]

Hold on. Are you saying that all this talk about inability to withstand extreme weather was an ill/under-informed overreaction because the bubble was indeed taken down on purpose? The F?

Is the second scenario any better than the first though? The consistent failures of this product are a problem.

The two best days in an athletic director’s life; the day they inflate their first IPF, and the day they sell it to pay for a ‘permanent’ structure.

If you zoom in on the picture on the left, that does not look like its a okay and just a staffer noticing a noise and a precaution deflating. That looks like its ripped from off at the seams.

I have no reason to doubt your bubtech bona fides, so I’ll take your word.

When raised funds are earmarked for a specific project it isn't easy to just pivot and put the money elsewhere.

The more you post the more it seems you have zero idea how the real world operates.

It’s a safety issue. What if the bubble collapsed on a team while practicing, school would go bankrupt, why are the engineering reports not available, MSUs are for there facility.

Are you suggesting bubbles aren't safe? You make so many assumptions without actually knowing anything about the specifics on pretty much every thing you complain about.

Agree with this. AD should look at the Taylor Sports Complex on WSU campus. (A school with significant financial challenges of its own.)

It is a permanent IPF that was constructed in about a year. They took down their 10 yo bubble in Oct 2023 and it was available for use in September 2024. Cost was $27 million & completely donor funded- all public record.

Seems reasonable if we paid $10 mil for the current POS eyesore.
