uncfootballrules, while I can agree that our facilities need improvement, they are not the worst in the BSC. Especially with the renovation of the B-H fields, Jackson soccer complex and B-H itself, ours fall in the middle of the conference.
Sac State's football stadium is a dilapidated beast that includes a wonderful elevator to the media level--a cargo elevator that scared me into walking up and down bleachers. Their fieldhouse/arena is worse than many high schools.
Idaho State and Northern Arizona are both in need of doing something to improve their domes. Old turf, and at NAU, you can get motion sick in the press box hung from the roof of the building. ISU had even gone as far as playing games in smaller Reed Gym, where there women play b-ball, but returned hoops to the dome last year.
Portland State's gym facilities again fall under the "I've seen better at high schools", though the building they are in is an improvement over Sac. PGE Park is another in need of a turf replacement, not to mention upgrades of facilities at the stadium.
Weber State, Montana, Montana State and Eastern Washington have good facilities, though each has a weakness or two. Weber's is a bad batch of grass for football. Montana State's is the oversized fieldhouse, which could use a facelift. The football stadium is solid, but on the north edge of Bozeman, which makes it brutally cold late in the season.
Eastern and Montana would have to be the best, because the facilities are clean, well organized, fit their sports, etc. In Eastern's case, forethought went into their arena and recent football suite upgrades. At Montana, the football stadium is done well with room to grow, while basketball plays in a facility they've done a nice job overcoming obstacles in. It's another arena that could fall into the high school category, except that there are luxury boxes at the top.
Here's something to gnaw on, though: everyone is making pitches for additional money for upgrades. Why? Because that's the nature of Division I athletics--trying to keep up with the big guns. At a time the government is attempting to determine the best way to goose the economy, its not a good time to be trying to raise money.
