If that's the case, then it certainly could be completed before 2019 opener against ND.

Hard to imagine how well the basketball arena project would have been managed with these guys in charge.

Jurich is hoping to have it ready for 2018 Season. That's what he said a couple of weeks ago.

If it gets completed by the start of 2018 season, it's too bad that the Alabama game isn't @ our place, would've been a MASSIVE game to open the extension of PJCS.

And think about it this expansion will cost as much as the first 42,000 seats and facilities did.
