But how long ago did HP's open? Wouldn't costs be different over time?

Isn't it fair to presume that whoever is doing the due diligence will examine a lot of examples and take things from there. One thing that would be interesting is if there would be the room or the design available for June and the staff to move their offices in there.

I don't think we they would be doing it unless June didn't feel like something needed to be done. From what I understand, the locker rooms haven't changed since Ford opened.

As for the IPF, my understanding is that athletic officials are trying to secure a lead donor for it. Of course, we should understand that this project is going to cost high 7 seven figures to low 8 figures. I'm not sure how many of us have that kind of disposable income lying around.

I would think that at some point in 2012 there will be an announcement for it. When? I have no idea.

And if some of you believe the athletic department doesn't recognize the important of an IPF, then that's really ridiculous on your part. It'll happen.

BTW, can some of you name the timeline for when TCU's IPF went from the discussions to the announcement to the construction to the dedication? I know I can't it.

Locker rooms, shower and bathrooms have not been renovated at the Natatorium since 1958 literally. If you want to see a campus disgrace just visit the pool.

Another important step. Maybe people can work together in groups and raise money that can either go toward that or increase their Mustang Club donation.

It actually happened fairly quickly after a formal proposal was made. The lead gifts were given by Jane and John Justin Foundation and the Cox Family.

It cost $7,000,000, less the existing artificial turf practice field.
