New locker room at Concordia

Excellent!  The old one is/was terrible.

Who has the best set up in the MIAC...Ive only been to St. Olaf and they have a gorgeous campus but I don't know about the locker rooms.

anybody knowledgeable about ranking them top to bottom?

DuffMan

I haven't been in U$T's new locker room, but based on $$$ and photos, I'd say they're best.  SJU's are pretty nice.  I always hated Bethel's, due in large part to the trek to the field.  Carleton's sucked, Concordia's sucked.  GAC was okay.  Auggie Tech was pretty bad.  I can't recall St. Olaf's or HU's.  Of course, this is all based on knowledge from 10+ years ago and visitor's locker rooms (except for SJU), so things may be different.

Red & White Spring Game Set for May 10th

Any chance there might be a tailgate party for this first ever event?  I know it's the Friday of fishing opener but let's face it the water is going to be way too cold for there to be a bite.  Another thought is that folks could check out check out the Red/White game on their way up to the cabin.
My daughter has a SB game that afternoon and I'm the coach.  Might find somebody to fill in and make the drive up to Collegeville.
Also...mark you calendar...I plan to make the trip to Collegeville for the home opener against UWEC on Sept. 14th and plan to bring smoked pulled pork ...get there early cuz it won't last long!

Penn State had the audacity to schedule my daughter's law school graduation the next morning in State College, so I will not be able to make it.  Would be a fun tailgate opportunity.  Maybe they will webcast it so I can catch over the internets.

GAC stadium is very nice off the pictures. You would think they would be better in the conference. Or is it too hard to get kids to St. Peter.

The Gustie stadium is the best in the conference and it's not close.  Locker rooms aren't anything to complain about, and the best sightlines in the state.  If St. Thomas had built a similar stadium, you might fear the new Tommie dynasty might never end.

The stadium is beautiful.  I can't comment on the locker rooms (before my time), but I would guess they're nice.

Isn't Olaf's a little brick building near the concession stand?
Did Hamline's get updated with the stadium remodeling?

Yes Olaf's is right there. I do not know about Hamiline's.


DuffMan

Not sure about Hamline's.  I assume they upgraded when they upgraded the stadium.  I can't recall their old locker rooms, but I think they were a bit of a hike from the field.  I remember forming a human shield at halftime once so that one of our LBs could take a whiz because the locker rooms were not nearby.  ;)

If they're anything like the basketball locker rooms, they are awful.  Dank, Dark, Moldy, but they get a partial pass for having some history.  They played NBA playoff games at Hamline.  How many D3 facilities could claim that?

I don't know, but the T-Wolves practiced at SJU.   ;D  Imagine taking a post-practice pee and having Kevin Garnett pull up to the urinal next to you.  :o

Retired Old Rat, congrats on your daughter's graduation from law school! My daughter is also graduating from law school at Lewis & Clark in Portland on May 25. Always nice to get out to Oregon.

JR,
When we traveled to play Linfield in 2002, we held our practices at L&C.  Beautiful campus!
