 Well, it was a momentous day at Bemidji State as the training center inside the John Glass Fieldhouse was dedicated and unveiled. The facility years in the making provides an indoor training center with a full synthetic turf and a brand new weight room for athletes to use. The facility was made possible due to the generosity of Frederick P. Baker who wanted to give back after all that the university had done for him. The lack of opportunity that we had when we were here was a real handicap and I just saw an opportunity and I got a lot from Bemidji State, went to school here and got a degree and allowed me to be successful in my professions and so just wanted to give back. This facility will will enhance our recruiting, it gives it gives the student hope that when they get here they have an opportunity to get better and that's quite frankly what most student athletes want when they come to college. They've already been using that since the fall some of the high school teams even so just a big project that you know is going to make a big impact in the community. A great addition for the school.
