Sargent decided to make it happen.
Earlier this year, the Saratoga Springs mortgage lender went to lunch with a client who worked at the U. and hashed out how he'd get started.
Armed with renderings from local graphic designer Justin Dahl, Sargent swapped emails for months with Utah Athletics marketing. He surveyed the Fieldhouse roof with a U. roofer, a painter and a paint provider. Finally, last Thursday, he pitched the idea to the U.'s Facilities Management Review Committee, after blowing up the renderings to poster size at Costco.
I'll find the funds, he told them.
