New lacrosse Field

[Dane Pound]

There's a blurb in the TU about the new lacrosse field. It's in the campus notebook-third story down.

To be completed over the next 5 years? Are they waiting to get additional donations to cover the rest of the expenditures?

 

You can't recruit a kid by promising a new field in the next 5 years - the recruit would have graduated by then?

 

Am I missing something?

It is to be completed within the next five years. - Times Union

 

what an aggressive timetable ... you've got to love nys ... way to see real momentum and do everything to retard it

Maybe Mr. Fallon made a contribution over a 5 year period with the University coming up with additional funds. That doesn't mean the field won't become a reality in less than 5 years. Having grown up 50 years ago, 5 miles from a reservation, I hate to see the grass replaced by ashphalt. It knd of takes away from the "bounce of the ball".

Marr's doing a very job of recruiting without very good facilites. It can only make his recruiting easier with a new stadium-that should be great.

I was talking this morning with someone on campus who would know about this if anyone would. They told me the lacrosse field should be built quicker than 5 years. More like 2.
