Also, Lockhart can't be leveled until after the School Board contract is up on 09/30/08. I'm sure, if we had to, we'd be able to negotiate a two month extension to play there since September 30 seems like an odd time to end a school contract.

It's my understanding that he donated $100K about 5 years ago and hasn't given since, he said he'd be cutting a check in two weeks, for how much, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I know he just pulled in $22 mil last week
He was awarded the $22mil, don't know how long it will take to get it. That money really goes to the firm and pays salaries, overhead and all those things. Willie does get a big hunk of it but it doesn't all go to him.

on top of it, that money is just to pay for their work from the mistrial, the case has to go back to trial and he stands to win a hell of a lot more than 22 mil.

I'm guessing no less than 20 million will get the ball rolling. If the stadium is costing 65-80 mill I'm guessing their going need to raise half in donations and the other half through the dorms and retail.
if we had 33% of the funds in a gift, ITS ON, thats all we would need…the rest would be a piece of cake…people would come out of the woodwork to join in partnership with that…it reduces the intial risk by 33%…without it, we bring nothing to the table except forcatsed revenue from rentals, etc…

It took several years and a whole lot of work by a whole lot of people, but we finally got 'er done – here's a link for a look at the plans for our pride and joy: U OF M STADIUM It's too bad that we complete our 2 for 1 contract with you before either of us are in our new digs. The open end of our stadium is aligned to have a view of campus with downtown Minneapolis in the background.
Here is a link to a webcam aimed at the site – winter was spent clearing the site and serious digging should start this summer: STADIUM CONSTRUCTION WEBCAM
If by chance you need any information on the Gophers, the athletic department website can be found at: WWW.GOPHERSPORTS.COM
