Just a wag but a tear down of Gampel beginning right after  graduation and a rebuild would take all of 2 years. It would be a major disruption to Campus. Could a new building be built elsewhere on Campus so we could still play there during construction? Otherwise we would be at the XL for the construction process. I don't know if having a hockey component as part of the new building would be doable. With the Athletic Dept having the $40 million deficit I have wondered about the men's hockey in regards to where do we find a place to cut that deficit. The women can play at Freitas and that program is necessary for Title IX reasons. With the men having to pay to use the XL it must make any revenue gain minimal. 
 The new hockey 2,500 arena is forecast to cost $45 million at least. That huge chunk of change would be a good start to a new Gampel especially if the hockey facility was part of it. That way in the future we are only maintaining the new Gampel plus Freitas for practice. Not a third arena.
