2010 October Luncheon - Jon Runstad '64 and Ron Crockett '61

Jon Runstad ’64 and Ron Crockett ’61    shared their involvement and views on the remodel of the Husky Stadium.  We learned that much of the Husky Stadium is coming down and we saw sketches and 360 degree perspectives on video showing the planned replacements for the south side, the west horseshoe and the water end of the field.  Jon recapped the process followed by WrightRunstad to assemble a team.  The team confirmed Jon's suspicions that the project could be accomplished for a sharply lower budget than the original contractor's submission of the 2009 construction budget.  The net of it, WrightRunstad is offering more building for less money – who could be unhappy?  It was a great insider view of this major upgrading of the UW athletic facilities.
