According to its presentationto the BOR, USD is also suggest-ing the board to appoint a build-ing committee representative tooversee development of the proj-ect.

In the case of South DakotaState, it will request approval ofits own facility statement for anew football stadium, with a ca-pacity increase to 20,000.

The 50-year-old CoughlinAlumni Stadium seats 10,000 peo-ple, but the Jackrabbits have av-eraged over 13,000 fans sincejoining the Division I level.

According to SDSU’s report tothe Board of Regents, the newstadium will feature a new syn-thetic turf, visiting team lockerroom facilities, coaching andmedia facilities and restrooms.The proposed location would beon the site occupied by Coughlin.

SDSU athletic director JustinSell was out of the office for theweek and was unavailable forcomment.

The process for getting BORapproval is the same for any fa-cility project, according to MonteKramer, the board’s system vicepresident for Finance and Admin-istration.

“The campuses are wanting tomove forward with their facilitystatements and they can’t moveforward until they get the per-mission from the board,” Kramersaid Wednesday. “It’s the sameprocess we use with all facilityprojects across our schools.

“Until they get through thisprocess, there’s not much in theway of planning and investigationthat can be done in terms ofbuildings and costs.”

Discussion on both projects isscheduled for next Wednesday,Kramer said.

While Sayler and his depart-ment staff, namely associate ath-letic director David Herbster,have been able to officially raisemoney for the new arena andDome renovations, they under-stand the priorities, Sayler said.

“At the end of the day, weknow there are a lot of other is-sues to worry about, especiallyright now in our area with theflooding,” he said. “I get where

the importance ranks with some-thing like this. But at the sametime, the longer it keeps gettingput off, the more expensivesomething like this becomes.”

According to USD’s 2015 Mas-ter Plan for Athletic Facilities, thefirst phase would be the new bas-ketball/volleyball arena, whichwould have a seating capacity of6,000.

The facility, which would beconnected on the south end ofthe Dome, would include a newbasketball court, three practicecourts, basketball and volleyballcoaches offices, administrativeoffices, a new training room, 14luxury boxes/suites and the Kine-siology and Sport Science (KSS)program.

The second phase would in-clude renovations to the Dome,

highlighted by an effort to im-prove the football atmosphere.Changes would include newwider and more open con-courses, new concession standsand restrooms, a new turf, ex-panded locker rooms and ex-panded coaches and pressboxes.

Additional seats would beadded to the south end zone, andpermanent seats would go wherethe current retractable bleachersare on the west side.

“Our project is a little morestage driven,” Sayler said. “Thearena would need to come firstso we can move our stuff out ofthe Dome.

“It could be three-to-five yearsfor us, it’s hard to say right nowuntil we can start raising money.”

Rapid City’s Jesse Pleinis, who was a two-time Class B state champion forMount Marty College alum Jeff Pekny, will continue his baseball career under theLancer blue and gold banner, committing to attend MMC and compete for theLancers, the institution announced.

Pleinis batted .472 with 28 runs scored and 13 RBI for St. Thomas More this

past season. He was part of back-to-back title teams for the Cavaliers in 2009-10. He was also an all-conference football player for the Cavaliers, coached byMMC Hall of Famer Wayne Sullivan.

“I was able to see Jesse play at the Class B Club State Tourney this spring,”Bernatow said. “I was really impressed with his hands. As an infielder, having

smooth hands defensively is always a plus. I was also impressed with his footspeed. It should be fun helping Jesse continue to develop.”

Pleinis plans to major in chemistry at Mount Marty College and will receivean Academic Achievement Scholarship. He is the son of Julie and Gary Pleinis.

S.D. Native Mark Ellis Returns ForAthletics, But Weeks Staying At 2B

NEW YORK (AP) — The Oakland Athletics have activatedsecond baseman Mark Ellis from the 15-day disabled list and op-tioned slumping first baseman Daric Barton to Triple-A Sacra-mento.

With the A’s on a six-game winning streak, manager BobMelvin chose to keep streaking rookie second baseman JemileWeeks in the lineup for their game against the New York Mets onWednesday night.

Weeks has hit safely in 10 of 13 games since being called upto fill in for Ellis on June 7. He’s hitting .362 with a .400 on-basepercentage and four steals, sparking the ballclub during the win-ning streak by going 9 for 22 (.409).

Ellis “made it very easy on me,” Melvin said of the decision tostart Weeks. “First thing I said to him was, ’the second base situ-ation.’ Well, he said, ’That’s an easy one. You got to play him.’ Iwant to win, too.”

The only thing Melvin told Weeks was, “to keep playing.”Ellis was hitting .213 with one homer and 15 RBIs in 58 games

before pulling his right hamstring.Melvin said Ellis, Oakland’s longest-tenured player, will work

out at second base, third base and first base so he can get moreplaying time.

Barton was hitting just .212 without a homer and 21 RBIs in 67games. His slugging percentage of .267 was second lowest in themajors. He has committed eight errors, which leads all big leaguefirst baseman.
