The Bobcat Promenade will serve as the site of new game day traditions, hub for Montana State Athletics and a symbolic connection between the Athletic Department and University system.
At the heart of the master plan are a series of physical and visual connections that link the north end of campus to Bobcat Stadium. Taking the form of walkways and open space, these connections create a framework for the placement of new buildings, outdoor fields and future development.
Bobcat Promenade
A new north/south promenade will serve as the primary connection linking the north campus, Brick Breeden Fieldhouse, the new Norm Asbjornson Hall and parking facilities to the Bobcat Indoor Performance Facility and Bobcat Stadium. Visual connections along this promenade and to Bobcat Stadium will also be enhanced by the placement of the Bobcat Indoor Performance Facility and outdoor fields. The promenade will culminate at a proposed tower at Bobcat Stadium. The proposed Bobcat Promenade will set the stage for new game day traditions and become a signature element in the campus landscape.
In addition to the Bobcat Promenade, a new east/west corridor will serve as a secondary connection that links Brick Breeden Fieldhouse and existing parking facilities to athletic fields to the east. This connection will also provide links to potential future development along 7th Avenue as identified in the University Master Plan. Potential future developments could include:
• additional intramural/recreation and competition fields
• expansion of outdoor sports/team facilities
• further expansion of academic advising facilities for students
• additional classrooms
• office space
• residential dwellings
• additional parking
