Athletes Village taking shape

February 24, 2017 at 1:35AM

The tagged beam outside the window of P.J. Fleck's office caught his eye. The message, left for the new Gophers football coach, read "Row the Boat."

Fleck tweeted a photo of the beam and wrote, "Love seeing the ELITE people working on the new Athlete's Village ROWing The Boat with us!! Thanks for the message!!"

The view from Fleck's office reveals significant progress made on the project. The athletic department this week released a video showcasing the progress and renderings of the final product. Watch it at startribune.com/StribSports_Upload.
