Job #1 for the Athletic Department at this time

[Pounder]

While it seems like they’d be polling donors to raise money to buy out Bruce Barnum’s contract, I’m sure Peter Stott has been consulted by now. I’m going with the probability of limited funds raised. But that’s something of a short term issue.

Is the school planning a very Portland shindig to open Viking Pavilion? Maybe a combination of concert festival, scavenger hunt, Viks MBB vs 100 kids, Korbball exhibition, women’s rally, and urban studies mass lecture?

If not, far too few people will know the arena exists.

I believe that the Wine & Roses event in April is supposed to be the very first event. That said, I like your point of trying to find something very Portland to host at the Pavilion after that to let those in Portland that aren't really affiliated with PSU (or specifically PSU Athletics) to know that the Pavilion is completed and open for business...
