what's the going rate on a 500 seat facility?

[Mr. Nielsen]

6000 seat arena would be perfect.

My backyard rents for free as long as you supply the beer and food.

When do the riots with angry students start at the administration offices?

And more importantly, when does someone try to climb up the side of the chancellor's building, Spiderman-style, again?

Doesn't the Horizon League have a minimum requirement?

5,000 is the league requirement

wanna bet that student fee is a keeper.  when they get done paying for the new b-ball facility, they'll just find another "worthy cause" to have those fees go toward.  theyll just kind of casually forget about it and hope the students do too.  never let a good crisis go to waste...right?

UWM has had fees for such things as Sandinista Justice and Vegan Development. Funding an athletic facility is a bit out of that social activism lane.
