Smiens said in an email to Patch on Tuesday that Kyle Snesrud, who owns the former building that the Northfield Athletic Club called home for many years, was not able to secure a loan with his bank to make the necessary improvements to the club, which totalled in excess of $80,000, forcing their hand to leave.

Smiens didn't immediately respond to an email from Patch on Friday. Patch will have more on this as information becomes available.
