Roos Field Renovation

I will be thrilled it the approved project includes permanent, good looking east side stands that somewhat match the existing west side, and construction begins this summer. I will contribute to that plan.

We are going to need some extra seating and fast with N. Iowa, and North Dakota St. both scheduled to show up in the next two years. I would imagine there is going to be some serious interest in those games. Could we see our first ever Eag game that draws over 15,000 fans? Maybe 18,000 for the North Dakota St. game in two years?

I heard at the BB game last night that news on the stadium is coming real soon. By that I mean before the events in April. I hope this is true

Trying not to get my hopes up, but...

Same here. Cautiously optimistic that there's going to be some sort of plan placed on the table in the short term.
 
I'm excited to hear news as well. The Gateway in all its glory would be amazing but a real east side of the stadium will make all the difference. Case in point Montana St. They add real end zone seating and transformed their stadium into one of the best in the FCS. I believe a real east side would do the same for Roos.
 
I still think the track needs to go, but I guess that could be cost prohibitive. But at this point, anything is an improvement. It looks like garbage, especially on TV.

Great point. It's looks like crap with the current east side and south end-zone. Especially on TV. I'd donate my own money to help the cause. Please EWU, do something so I can bring my family to homecoming games!
 
To All,
Heard from a very well known individual today that two months ago monies was appropriated and the Project should be on the go very soon. Will believe it when it happens, but made me feel a little better, things are looking better, if we can only get some news out and cheer everyone up. Will wait and see. Good Luck. Vic Wallace

Crabcakes&Football,
We were watching the Practice yesterday, when I mentioned wish we could her something about TGWP, when he mentioned, Vic, heard the money was appropriated for the Project, didn't say which. I just smiled, and said, hope this is for real, I really hope something is coming of this soon. For me it is very hard for me to believe it, but I know this individual, he is really dedicated to this University, as I am. My Goal of giving back $50,000.00 for Scholarships is almost upon me, it is now at $47,683.00. I do not mean to be bragging, this is something I had to do after I lost my wife of 45 years in Aug 1999, and started being around those young Men and Women in our Athletic Program. All of you Parents can be very "PROUD" of your children, each time I speak with them, it is always "yes Sir", maybe it is my beautiful Salt and Pepper Hair, what is left of it:). Hope to see many of you at the Scrimmage tomorrow @ 2 p.m. I am sitting at the AD Table, and hope we can get some "POSITIVE NEWS". Tomorrow you will see a team that is very much ready for the season to get started. Go Eagles!!!!! Vic Wallace Eagles!!!!!
 
Well well, latty dah, sitting at the AD table!
Just kidding you Vic, as the Eagles #1 fan you are very deserving.
Have fun and I hope you come up some inside scoop.
 
This article in the Easterner is talking about an upgrade to Reese court. All the reasons they give for an upgrade also applies to the Football facility. It also says Reese court is in the upper half of the nicer basketball facilities in the Big Sky conference! I don't think the FB stadium would fit in that description.

I would definately agree it is in the upper year of facilities...heard about the all red idea a few years back....a little much for me but I guess it depends on how it is done. Need to take care of those bleachers first though.
 
To All,
I spoke to two different individuals last night RE; GWP, one mentioned they are still working monies. What I was told earlier this week was incorrect, the monies are not appropriated for the Project. The other one spoke told me there have been some problems, now we must come up with a Field for the Soccer Team. He was talking to the Farmer that own the Wheat Field behind the Water Tower in lot 12, and we may be building in that area also. He said "Vic every time you and others get frustrated about this Project, just think how he feels". He also said the Farmer is for anything the university wants. I explained to him, we are all looking for the Project, and when we get it will satisfy everyone. Don't know what else for us to do, Just Prey for a Miracle. Hate to be the bearer of "BAD NEWS" this Sunday, it we call it bad news. God Bless all. Vic Wallace
