At the 1:23 mark of this video clip, President Hopkins states that we are trying to raise an additional $250K to 'top off this fantastic facility'. I was thinking that this was it; any ideas what that additional money would be used for to 'top off' the Rinzler Complex? What else is needed?

Just one question. Why?

I changed the name of my Recycle Bin on my Desktop to "UD Arena" because that's where garbage goes. |

The weather wasn't too wet this year but, 2011 produced the absolute worst baseball field I have ever seen. You can't imagine how everyone feels when the team is forced to move games to Xenia ( AIA complex ). ( Makes as much sense as having it for soccer ).

It also allows you to rent the place out to more high school teams because you don't have to worry about the field being torn up from over use when the weather is bad.

Recruiting. Besides what tommy and raiderup said, having the best facility in the area has to help bring in top baseball recruits.

Seems like the field turf has been planned for at least a year. On Sunday, I saw Cusack at a funeral home in Beavercreek and Mike also pointed out that the new surface should help the team get on the field more often before the season starts ( at least that is the hope ).

I think any and all upgrades are a good idea. Potential recruits, students, and fans see our campus and facilities. Any improvements we can make to all of our facilities is just going to improve everyone's overall perception of WSU.

Feel free to delete if this does not belong, but I wanted to take a minute to share something and this seems like the best, if incorrect, thread to share it in.
Just in case anyone might be interested; I recently had to renew my tags for my vehicle, and upon browsing the Ohio BMV website, I decided to check out the collegiate license plates--Long story short, I ended up ordering the Wright State University plates, they just arrived in the mail yesterday and man they are COOL.
The left side of the plate has the "proud" Raider/Wolf logo atop the "Wright State" logo, and in the lower-middle portion of the plate "Wright State University" goes across the bottom. Ordering these plates from the Ohio BMV is a bit more expensive than normal plates HOWEVER $25 of the purchase goes towards the university's General Scholarship Fund.
I would encourage all Raider/University supporters to check out these plates (you can do so at www.bmv.ohio.gov) and seriously consider ordering them! I am very happy that I did. I was going to post a picture but am not sure how to on Proboards.
I believe that I am one of very few vehicles driving around downtown Cincinnati with WSU plates, so honk if you see me, and consider purchasing these yourself! Very cool.

"Wright State University Chooses ABM"
http://www.nasdaq.com/article/wright-sta....30#.UTs9nxK9LCQ
There's an interesting blurb in this article that states that "This project includes enhancement of Wright State University's heating and cooling equipments and utilizing its pond for geothermal cooling." I was wondering if this essentially rules out the possibility of filling-in the pond at the nutter to utilize as additional parking or general space. Not sure it that idea was ever originally in the works or if it was just a consumer-driven idea to begin with, but it looks as if this deal may rule it out.

Cincy, I haven't heard anything about moving the pond since last year. Maybe the whole project got scrapped?
