esearch building and arena. Although<br />
locations have not been finalized for<br />
either project, both would be located<br />
somewhere on or near the SLU campus.<br />
“This is an incredibly exciting project<br />
for SLU and Billiken basketball,”<br />
Shanahan said. “A new campus arena<br />
will help SLU build a top program. I’m<br />
confident our friends will step forward<br />
and help make the <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Louis</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> Arena a reality.”<br />
<strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Louis</strong> <strong>University</strong> has launched a<br />
Web site to support fund-raising activity<br />
for the proposed <strong>University</strong> arena. The<br />
site is http://arena.slu.edu. The arena<br />
fund-raising effort is going well, with<br />
about $10 million in commitments<br />
already received. The project is contingent<br />
on raising an estimated<br />
$40 million-$45 million in<br />
private donations.<br />
“The <strong>Saint</strong> <strong>Louis</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> Arena would<br />
be the beginning of a<br />
new tradition on campus,”<br />
Biondi said. “But it<br />
is going to take the generosity<br />
of communityminded<br />
donors to make<br />
it happen.”<br />
