This was the upgrade to which I alluded a couple of weeks ago.

What are you talking about? It's almost finished being built.
Then I guess I misread what I read

They showed their barn on TV vs Tech...it’ll be done soon. I say barn like it’s disparaging but I wish we had a barn we could upgrade instead of waiting for the Taj Majal of IPFs.

It looks like a warehouse-and fits right into the UH campus

Does anyone know the latest word on the IPF for SMU? At $4 for a water at the games, surely the money is there.

I don't know any details on why nothing has been done or talked about much anymore about an indoor facility?

SMU's alumni/benefactors have not come up with 80% of the projected project cost to get the IPF started.

SMU is currently soliciting funds for current operating expenses.

So what? That is a very common way to accelerate student quality - you just buy it instead of doing endowment dollars that pay out 4.5%. Don't make it out to be something negative.

Aggie IPF looks bad from the outside but very adequate from the inside.
http://12thman.com/sports/2015/3/23/GEN_2014010157.aspx An SMU big wig once told our church that the formula is to raise 50% of funds quietly, 25% publicly (then break ground) and the other 25% while it's being built. It may be harder for facilities like IPFs instead of stadiums or church gyms/sanctuaries where new members rotate through with regularity.
