I've said this before, and I know it's a pipe dream, but has it ever been considered to either move part, or all of the physical plant to say, East Broadway or something? That is such an awesome piece of land -- it seems like a waste to use it for storage of doors, signs, and desks. I know they do a lot more there, but c'mon.. That's a great piece of property.
Put a football practice facility, park, student housing, education building, just anything other than the physical plant. Just a thought...

D2/Grizzoola is seriously looking forward to the dome over WGS and some kind of restraint system that keeps fans in their seats at half-time.

I hare the Big Sly Conference now. Too many pathetic teams. Inconsistent and unfair scheduling due to having too many teams. We should talk a few of the Big Sky teams into leaving and forming a new conference, WITHOUT North Dakota, Northern Colorado, Sac. State, and Southern Utah.

I've been harping on it for years. The single most scenic spot in the Missoula Valley, the literal Gateway to the University of Montana, and ... it hosts a maintenance facility. It is practically bizarre that it is not a priority to get Physical Plant out of there.griz5700 said:

Thank you! Seems like a total no-brainer to me.

I agree with this, I hate that thing there so much, its such an eye sore and it makes the city planner in me cry and puke at the same time. Such an inefficient land use.
With the potential placement of an indoor practice bubble being placed at the current river bowl location, I would rather keep that area for intramurals and tailgating and have any new facilies be located where the plant is now......
It would be tough to show a recruit a better more beautiful loaction for them to be training and practicing daily than right on the beautiful clark fork ...hellgate in the back drop. get a great breeze through there, I love the idea.

Which is the physical plant again? is it the triangular area to the left of the stadium with lots of parking and rusty roofs?
Hopefully it's not sitting on a buried oil/gas tank currently leaking. Not having had the chance to walk the site, is it long/wide enough to fit the kind of indoor space that would benefit the teams needing it? Were it to be, got to be a no brainer if there aren't EPA concerns.

Would it be a problem to replace the parking? If everything can be mitigated, got to be a no brainer if there aren't EPA concerns.

It is so extraordinary as a location, it would make a terrific adjunct facility for athletics and recreation. Need big windows, lots of landscaping, but can't overwhelm the site, either. Perhaps indoor tennis courts, multi-purposed for semi-indoor tailgates, and small event hosting, pre-game and post-game functions. Almost anything is better than the Physical Plant. UM ought to have a design competition; pay to get some ideas from talented people and some visuals on alternatives.BadlandsGrizFan said:

I agree, although it may be hard for the guys to concentrate watching all the drunk and high floaters going by there daily, while you're sweating your ass off running 100s and puking on yourself...hahaha

Plenty of room for a beautiful multisport indoor practice facility AND a much needed parking structure on the south side of that property. It's the perfect location for greatly needed parking for Adams Center events, football games, and student parking during the week. These both need to happen on that physical plant property.
