Wyoming among the top in the MW.

Will be interesting to see when its all said and done who has the better basketball facility, Wyoming or San Diego State? Both putting lots of $$$ into basketball.
 
They overlooked a lot of spending in that piece. Going back five years and looking ahead five, we've got to be pushing $100M.
 
I mentioned that to Murray on Twitter that UW has also done the War renovation plus an indoor golf facility in that time period he has listed out.
 
If you add up the Wildatter suites, the golf IPF, the basketball renovation, and within the next five years Corbett Pool, and you're looking at 100 million in spending.

The thing the article misses is the five years leading up to five years ago. Wyoming made a lot of facilities improvements during that time as well. The Rochelle, the IPF, structural repairs, turf, eastside restroom and concessions renovations, the track and field complex, the covered tennis courts...

I'm interested to see where we go when we finish Corbett. What's next on the list?

The press box and the west side of the War need love.
 
Here's an article from 2010 that details 2004-2010. The Rochelle athletics center was before that. From 2004-2010 we spent 38 million on athletics. That includes the cost of the wildcatter. Since 2010 we've built the golf IPF, the covered tennis courts, we replaced the turf at the football stadium.
