Sure, totally, we will. My memory of the BoR submission was that it included the money and plan for the track, but maybe my memory is off. I don't think they can change the plans they submitted without the BoR approving something like that, but maybe OCHE has an office they could run it through or something. I'm not pretending to be an expert on MUS building processes, by any means.

Just watched that piece of the BOR meeting from November. “Metal framed building, still working through some pricing on whether it will be fabric tension or metal. Langlas is contractor selected and they are working on pricing”
So yeah. I guess we’ll see. Haha
For items like an IPF, the Regents don’t approve plan minutiae like materials; instead, they approve expenditures. They’ve approved the expenditure. Fact is, the plans with Langlas call for a hard-sided building—i.e., the detail calls out pre-engineered metal building panels. Some renderings can be seen here:

The Future is Here! MSU Unveils New Indoor Practice Facility
Exciting news for Montana State University as they edge closer to building their new indoor practice facility.
Nice effort
Man, they work on pricing for a long time.
Can you even imagine what it will be like when the bubs want to erect their statue of coach Ron ash, and there is a discussion regarding the cost of adding a sixth pleat rather than just five? Whooooboyyyy
I truly think both facilities will be amazing and awesome for both programs cats and Griz. Anything that gets you on dry turf in a warmer controlled climate while it’s freezing outside, giving your teams the ability to practice more effectively and efficiently is a huge bonus. I don’t really care what the outside looks like or the structure. The Griz bubble will also be huge for track and field, as well as soccer and softball. They will also be generating a lot of community revenue as they rent it out to various teams. Awesome addition!
I picture a lot of those green see-through visors and fingers bleeding from pounding the 10-keys with the printout receipt thingy for months.

Is this what you guys mean when you say “bobcat built”? Makes me think: cheap, flimsy, ready to collapse under the slightest pressure?

Looks like it will be a $26 million full metal structure

That’s weak sauce, even for you
Weak Bubcat batter
And full metal jacket was right there

Wow, looks nicer than RHS with its ridiculous disjointed stuff going on. Any plans for hosting games in there? Oh, I forgot it’s not a regulation football field. Well, maybe train them to run to the 10.

The Cats need to find a football team too. I wonder if the Cat revival is over already. We shall see. The Cats have been led by 2 great players and some good linemen. Anderson is gone. Mellott has one more year. Linemen are leaving the program early.
One would think the framing structure would need to be reengineered considering the weight difference between fabric and metal and also to account for the methods of fastening siding/roofing materials. Given the bad PR generated from past campus building collapses, the “fuck what the plans say, let’s go with metal” approach may not be the best move.
Don't worry! All those engineering students need a senior project. They can work for free!!

I'm BAAAA-aaack! And you're silly. Cats and griz will both be damn good in 2024 (assuming the griz find a QB that is as good as CM, and don't end up with another Vidlak). Winner of Cat-Griz wins the national championship. Mark it down.

You have zero credibility on this subject. Almost everything you said last season, especially about your team, was wrong, If your team is as good as it was last season, you will be 8-4. Feel free demonstrate how the Cats will be better this season. You lost 4 of your top players, and more. Do you really think replacing all-conference linemen and Chambers will be easy. What happens when Mellott gets hurt, as he has each season? The Cats appear not to have done very well in getting transfers in the Portal, and, overall, the Portal looks like a net loss for the Cats.
Some Cat fans have gotten to be very unrealistic in recent years, but you are about the worst. You obviously don't understand the game of football.
I am told that the UM coaches feel good, probably very good, about their qb situation. Maybe you should focus on getting your own house put back together. You act like your team was big improved and very good, if enough of your unrealistic and unknowledgeable say that they will. Which is what many of you Cat posters did last season.
While I had confidence in the Griz last season and also have confidence this season, at least I can wait until I see the first part of the season to make my assessment and-or declare the Griz national champions.
Feel free to keep posting your BS. The board needs someone else to make fun of.
