davidnark Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 I think the University is serious about completing this project in a timely manner. http://stlouis.bizjournals.com/stlouis/sto.../07/story4.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schasz Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 I like a few others never doubted that once the SLU Board approved this that we weren't going to be sitting in the new on campus arena in a couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Someone said that we should be hearing an announcement about the status of the fund raising efforts - unless I missed something, I don't think that has happened yet. Does anybody have any information on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjray Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 The press release regarding the bond sale, for me, is also instructive on the pace of fundraising. The Board of Trustees would not put the university on the hook for a loan of that magnitude unless they had already received significant commitments from donors for the medical research facility and the Biondi Dome.

Billikan Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 I spoke with a senior person at Albereci who told me that the current target is to complete the arena is to have it built in time for the 2005 season. He seemed confident that they would meet that timetable so it seems to me that the project is a "go"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamontcranston Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 The 2004/05 Season or the 2005/06 Season?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidnark Posted July 8, 2003 Author Share Posted July 8, 2003 The construction timeline is 22-24 months. If construction begins late this summer or early this fall, then the arena will be ready at the start of the 2005-2006 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schasz Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 You can count on me making at least one roadie to St. Louis the year the new arena opens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
