brand differentiation issue with Fieldhouse development/prop management

EMADUB IS GOING TO BE SO PISSED THAT THIS VIDEO IS TRASHING CITY AUDITORIUM

this project should also include an ice center for the little hockey cats

Short term- the name similarities have caused some small confusion. but easily to differentiate with an explanation.
Long term- if/when the Fieldhouse project comes to fruition, I bet there will be a name change.

The project could include an ice center. At the moment we are dealing with speculations and projections based on the need for facilities in the Manhattan area. If the need for an ice center presents itself, an ice center could be incorporated.

That would be great if it were that easy. I don't think we have a facebook page!!

Where will I accept my award from John Biggs for dominating the USD 383 composition contest?

Seems like a huge waste of money. KSU rec, Cico park etc.. just like MHK has a lot of facilities for sports already.

Could we get the AAU tourney going again with this thing?

Does this make the kids smarter and better at math and reading/writing?

KSU rec- public can't use without alumni donation. even then, it's crowded as crap
Cico- severly outdated. It's the site of the proposed indoor component or Fieldhouse

Basically it's all outdated and cramped. Needs updated already. No major tournaments will come to Manhattan because we can't support and accomodate the fields. This is a huge problem for teams and parents as they continually go out of town for tournies.

From a public standpoint, there isn't a YMCA or one being looked at down the road.

It'll keep them off the streets Pete.

if you keep the kids off the streets, how will they learn "street smarts"?

They built this in Dodge City a couple of years ago:

It has an ice rink and has been pretty well received. They have all sorts of concerts and basketball tournaments there, plus they just started playing arena football there:

So if Dodge can do it then Manhattan sure as hell can.

puniraptor · « **Reply #17 on:** February 25, 2014, 03:28:14 PM »

they were going to do this in junction by the river like 10 years ago, but never got around to it.

Yea the CA may be old enough to remember when there was just one version of the NIV, but I love that place.

Who cares how many they are, as long as they let you bump.

I think a sky-scraper would be more useful, or maybes a parking garage in the ville
