In recent years, 邦妮的粉丝们在全国各地为他们的学校加油助威，吸引了全国的目光.
To Brooklyn and Washington, D.C., for the Atlantic 10 Tournament.
To
俄亥俄州的代顿市和德克萨斯州的达拉斯市在48小时前举行NCAA锦标赛.
To packed houses in Charleston, S.C., and Madison Square Garden in New York City.
While the locales have changed, one
有一样东西没有变:博纳国家的坚定支持，全球网赌十大网站的骄傲在多个场合吸引了全国的注意.
Now, through visions for “A Bolder Bonaventure,” plans
帮助将热情的追随者转化为投资，这不仅有利于St. Bonaventure’s nearly 400 student-athletes, 但也让体育部的19支NCAA一级球队比以往任何时候都更大胆地思考
before.
On Sept. 12, St. Bonaventure公开发起了其历史上最大的筹款活动——“一个更大胆的Bonaventure:点燃”. Inspire. Invest.” — seeking to raise $125 million by May 31, 2025. Part of the overall
campaign is a focus on improving our athletics facilities.
“这项运动的每一个体育支柱都以我们的学生运动员为重点. Our goal is to ensure a strongly competitive Division I experience for them,”
said Bob Van Wicklin, vice president for University Advancement. “This is an ambitious plan. The first step to making it happen is the support of our alumni and friends.”
Through A Bolder Bonaventure, the goal of modernizing campus
为了吸引今天的学生和明天的学生，已经有了大胆的雄心壮志. 计划中包括对一级体育的承诺，要求改善体育校园和赖利中心, which is over 55 years
旧的，以击败竞争对手的设施吸引顶尖的潜在学生运动员.
“这次活动最重要的方面是，它将触动我们的每一位学生运动员,” St. Bonaventure Director of Athletics Joe Manhertz
said. “It’s not something that will better one or two teams; every single Bonnies student-athlete will be positively impacted. 大学体育的景观总是在变化，这是一个不公平的竞争环境. This investment in our
学生运动员和团队是一个机会，使博纳文蒂尔可持续的一级机构，并允许我们的团队在更高的水平上竞争.”
At the forefront of the campaign are designs for a new nearly 10,000-square-foot Athletics Performance Center.
In the past five years, 博纳大学的学生运动员人数增加了100多人，而且增长幅度很大
outgrown the department’s current weight room. Currently, 几支阵容庞大的球队被迫在不同的时间分成更小的小组, creating potential academic conflicts, or use hallways or the Reilly Center side courts for training.
新的田径表演中心的空间将是现有举重室设施的五倍大, 允许多个团队同时使用最先进的设备进行训练. The new facility would have an
对邦尼学生运动员的直接影响.
“这种性质的设施将与任何Power 5或专业体育表演设施相媲美,” said Darryn Fiske, St. Bonaventure’s longtime
director of strength and conditioning. “这将使我们的教练组有能力吸引下一级别的运动员来帮助我们争夺联盟和NCAA冠军. Every student-athlete dreams about competing on the ‘big stage.’
这种性质的设施将使我们有机会将我们的训练提升到比在圣. 博纳文蒂尔的历史，并帮助我们所有现在和未来的学生运动员实现这些梦想.”
The Athletics Performance
Center will be the centerpiece of a 25,000-square-foot addition to the Reilly Center, 包括一个新的篮球训练设施，可供男子和女子篮球项目使用.
The practice facility will allow
Bona’s continued competitive success in the always challenging Atlantic 10, 继续把自己定位为全国顶级篮球会议之一. Including direct access to the Athletics Performance Center, the facility will
house coaches’ offices and locker room areas adjacent to the new practice court.
而篮球队将把他们的更衣室区域搬到新楼, additional Reilly Center renovations will impact each Division I team with
dedicated locker room space created for each squad. The days of teams sharing locker rooms will become a thing of the past.
“At the Division I level, every team should have its own space, something to call their own,” Manhertz stressed.
“As we looked at the renovation plans and put the puzzle pieces together, that was extremely important to us. 一级联赛的球队不应该共用更衣室，这个计划会解决这个问题.”
In addition, student-athlete support
运动医学、学术支持和营养等领域将得到更新和扩大. 教练组也将把他们的办公室放在一起，使运动员更容易接近他们.
“We put a focus on nutrition, the training
房间和我们的运动医学区域，以确保学生运动员有空间保持健康,” Manhertz added.
Bolder Bonaventure田径支柱的其他计划包括一个带有空气支撑结构的草皮场地, more commonly
known as a “bubble.” With a field large enough to accommodate Bona’s Division I sports, as well as rugby, 计划中的设施将把邦尼队从纽约西部严酷的冬季环境中带出来，并允许全年训练.
Further, 多用途场地的增加将带来更多的座位和设施升级到马拉体育中心. Along with a better fan experience, 将建造一个全球网赌十大网站发布室和广播亭，以便为电视工作人员提供适当的设置,
这将大大改善现有的ESPN+广播，并为邦尼的长曲棍球和足球队举办会议和NCAA锦标赛打开大门, including national TV productions.
Over at McGraw-Jennings Field, Fred Handler
Park is set to get a much-needed facelift as well.
Home to Bonnies baseball, 通过更换草坪球场，翻新将使球场达到大西洋10号球场的水平, the addition of spectator seating and a new press
box.
Back in the Reilly Center, 邦尼游泳和潜水的丰富传统将通过更换通风设备来翻新赖利中心游泳池的愿景得到加强, lighting and sound systems, new timing system and
record boards and upgrades to locker rooms and coaches’ offices.
All in all, the plans represent a truly bold vision, including big dreams.
The most ambitious fundraising campaign in St. Bonaventure’s history will
确保未来丰富我们邦妮们的经验.
“The passion of Bona Nation and our alumni is really second to none. Now it’s time to connect with that and use that devotion to help invest in our
student-athletes,” Manhertz said. “As we think about what we do here and why we do it, it is about bettering the student-athlete experience. That’s why we’re here. A Bolder Bonaventure shows that we value Division I athletics.
Athletics mean so much to the St. 博纳文蒂尔的经历以及它对大学的帮助是不可估量的. 这些计划确保我们不仅继续在区域和国家层面上竞争, but provide more opportunities for our
student-athletes than ever before.”
Manhertz will be a guest on the student-run radio, WSBU 88.3 FM “The Buzz,” on Oct. 24, beginning at 12:30 p.m. ET谈论邦尼竞技作为一个支柱在更大胆的博纳文特运动.
