    I had read his post as a question, seeing as he opened with "has anyone else heard", which made me think that the scheduling model for future seasons hasn't been explicitly confirmed yet

      I've heard that they are extremely limited on what can be done, even if the money is there. If they can't build by the lake, I don't know if I'd want it. I think there are many hurdles and money might only be near the top. Do you know for sure Millsy?
      Is it not possible to tear down and rebuild the bleachers, I wonder? That's the only issue that I really see personally. Or is it a matter of the structure being grandfathered in but new bleachers couldn't be built? I don't know if the steepness of the bleachers is an issue similar to Mankato, but I feel like they could build back farther on the west side and turn that roadway into a dead end and walking path only. It's different from Mankato to me, where it seems like there's no other choice than to reorientate the field in order to make a change.

      • I also looked and current state - Jamestown has more money, but DSU still has the bigger upside. Guessing they close that gap quickly.

          It's been at least a year, maybe two, since I had more details...at my age, a lot can be forgotten in that time! I'm pretty sure it's a deeper issue and involves the land the stadium sits on. I'll do some asking and get my memory in gear!

            It was more of a question wondering if anyone else had heard the same thing I was hearing. I don't believe anything has been formally announced by the conference. I believe that will be the scheduling format, but am not 100% certain. I thought I had already seen someone in the NSIC announce a nonconference game for 2025 and 2026 but I don't recall who that was now.

              Wasn't it Wayne and Kearney?!

                I don't really know a whole lot. I know when they turfed the field, I had heard they wanted to build just on the Campus Side and maybe around the NW end zone. That would leave a view of Diamond Point Park and the lake in place. But, that is going on 12+ years now.

                I had also heard at one time, since the bleachers were a WPA project, there are some historical things that have to be considered.

                  Yes, I think that is what I was thinking of.

                    I'm not 100% sure - but I was told once that WPA projects tend to have a lot of regulations in front of them that make it almost impossible to tear down under normal circumstances. Though I just Googled it and it looks like those regulations might be tied to structures being officially designated as historical places - which then varies by local/state/federal rules.

                    That being said, the Chet was funded during the WPA era by the federal government, but does not appear to be a WPA project nor can I find a record of it being a "historical place" (officially) - so at that point it's probably just up to the administration on what to do with it.

                      No disrespect but Chet Anderson Stadium is a dump! Great view of the lake and the eagles flying overhead but the rest of it is terrible!

                          That's what you get when you are part of MnSCU. St. Cloud had the newest stadium and look where that landed their program. Maybe it is a good thing we are dumping $$$ into a stadium! LOL!

                              Built in 1939, it has to be the oldest stadium in state universities in MN. At 85 years old, it's time to be replaced. That Dakota State facility would look great with the lake in the background..

                                Believe it or not - Winona has been playing in the same place since 1937.
