Up next, after Reser project completion - per Scott Barnes Oregonian interview. " Once Reser is finished in 2023, what’s the next large capital project?" Barnes: "We have in the works, track grandstands, and we’re in design for that. We have a softball video board coming. We’re an early design for a hitting building for baseball, and a rowing training center. All of these don’t move forward without lead gifts. We’re moving forward as rapidly as we can while we put the fundraising plan in place and secure gifts. The next large project after that is a field sports building that will house all the sports that are outdoors — soccer, track, softball. It will accommodate their needs at that site as opposed to having to come from Gill (Coliseum). Team meeting rooms, locker rooms, coaches, offices, all of that, a training facility."

A field sports facility down adjacent to those venues is something I've been hoping we'd be able to do eventually. That'd be a big upgrade.

The other big news in that area is the proposed new building for the combined locker rooms, training room and offices for softball, track & soccer.
That's great for those athletes, so they don't have to trudge back & forth between Gill and their competition field. And if also opens up more space in Gill for maybe new restrooms, concession areas, lounges, etc. Gill's not going anywhere, might as make it as nice as possible.
