In a perfect world, we wouldn't have stupid things like finances to worry about and we'd be able to build whatever facilities we wanted to. So, in that spirit, and the fact that football season is still a long, long way off, discuss what kinds of things you'd like to see at CU, facilities wise, if we had a blank check to work with.
As for me? I'd like to see an expanded football stadium with about 80,000 seats. I'd like a permanent fieldhouse, complete with weight facilities, offices, meeting rooms, indoor track, olympic sized swimming pool, diving well, indoor practice facilities & training table. I'd like to increase the size of the CEC to hold around 18,000 people, and I'd like to have a regulation ice sheet installed for varsity hockey. I'd like to have a baseball/softball complex built, complete with indoor pitching mounds, batting cages, radar guns, etc. I'd like to see permanent stands put in at Potts Field so it could be used for varsity lacrosse. Along with this, I'd like to see expanded parking at the Potts / East campus facility. With an 80,000 seat football stadium, we'll need more parking.
I have no idea what all this would cost. Probably somewhere in the $250MM range. But if a guy can dream, he might as well dream big, right?
