University Boathouse On Park Property -- Sid Hartman / Star Tribune
University of Minnesota athletic director Joel Maturi and Minneapolis Park Board officials met Wednesday and visited a potential Mississippi River site for a boathouse for the Gophers rowing team. If the university decides to build a $3.5 million boathouse, it better satisfy the much larger fan base for Gophers baseball and make arrangements for a new baseball stadium. At least coach John Anderson would help raise a good part of the money for the baseball stadium.
