FargoBison Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Sanford Health has stepped up and donated $10 million towards renovating our current basketball arena. The entire project will cost $32 million. Sounds like we will break ground on it this spring. Here is a pic.... More pics can be found here... http://www.gobison.com/PhotoAlbum.dbml? ...

tmh8286 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Looks great! Absolutely will become one of the premier arenas in the conference. Thirty two million bucks on a renovation!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 What was the entire cost of the Mabee Center in 1971-2....about $25 million?.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmh8286 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 My bet is, with the new arena and the crowds that stuff like that usually brings in, NDSU becomes an even tougher place to play. Hats off to the Bison for upping the ante to other teams in the conference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I can hardly wait to take a road trip to the new facility! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogus Smith Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 What was the entire cost of the Mabee Center in 1971-2....about $25 million?.... The original cost was less than half that 38 years ago. I would be guessing, but have to believe it would be close to the NDSU price tag to replicate the Mabee Center in today's dollars.

theeagleman5 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 About $12 million to build the Mabee Center in the early 70's?....wow!...TheEagleman wouldn't have thought is was that low....guess OR got some cheap labor..... .....Hard to believe they could build a first class arena seating 10,000+ today...I'll bet it would be closer to $100 Mill or more.....
