What are the chances they build this thing on top of the Darrell Dickey practice fields?

This is what I was wondering. I don't know of any other possible place.

Other side of the tennis courts. NT owns everything to willowwood.

I really hope not. We need to keep an outdoor grass training field.

Let me clarify that I don't know that is where it is planned to go, just a possibility. The Wren™ might intend to put a baseball stadium in that area for all we know.

I understand. I always thought the baseball stadium was suppose to next to the softball stadium according to the master plan. I could be wrong.

The Wren™ wants to use that space for parking, putting it there was RV's idea.

Gotta fit in the IPF and a new track stadium somewhere. I'd think the Intramural Fields would be a great central location but whatever.

The new intramural fields will be located where Fouts now stands, along with the new parking garage.

But they won't be ready by the time the IPF is hopefully ready.

I heard from totally not reliable sources today that the new track facility was going on the other side of the tennis courts.

I think trying to figure out where everything goes is part of what the new master plan proposal is all about.

Fouts won't be gone by the supposed 2017 date either, I'm saying that the IPF can't go in that location in that timeline.

Yeah ... the "new master play" was very interesting. I feel more confident with this leadership looking at this again rather than just what RV thought. The University leadership seemed ready to have a hotel/convention center next the Apogee until Smatresk came in and nixed it (supposedly). They may have other ideas of how to use the land around the stadium.

Would be cool if it could be attached to the existing coaches offices somehow.

Funding this proposal would be really big news.

This is a big week for UNT capital projects; COM got approval to begin the RFP process for the Music Tower, CVAD got a better timeline for completing of their new facility, now this IFP RFP?

Damn, I hope we have the money down pat as well.

Aren't you supposed to be getting stupid on the square about now?
