Stadium: Architecture, Engineering, and Design AWARDED!

Thank you NY, MA, and CA...the absolute horror shows of states to contract with.

 

What a shocker. Never would have guessed.

 

Bottom line folks, this thing's going up! I think I'm heading down a few days a week

and bringing a lawn chair, so I can watch the construction. Will they allow me to bring a cooler?

My question is will there be a webcam we can follow, or will I have to get DP to pin a thread for pictures?

We want pictures.

 

You know your a fan when you track every detail as though it was the birth of your child. I've been waiting 20 years for this event.

We should contact whomever is the media person for athletics and ask them.. buy a cheap $50 webcam and set it up.. though I'm sure they'd have to pay for bandwidth....

For anyone interested: heard at ATSP today, the suites will go for $25,000 per year.

Two "anti" letters in today's T-U sports.

 

I love the article from this student who Iorizzo quoted in his article. Especially this quote....."...$6 million tuition dollars are being used..."

 

It's like talking to a brick wall with these people. If they only took the same passion and focused it on the State Pols that keep cutting SUNY funding they might just make an actual difference. Instead they waste everyone's time, including their own on a non-issue.

Furman just announced the construction of a large football building that will includes suites, etc..

 

I thought I'd post it just to give an idea of how much other FCS schools charge for naming opportunities and suite rentals.

Just because I know how much we like to have stadium envy, I give you Baylor:

 

 

[UAalum72]

Today marks three weeks since the bids were opened, so the next announcement could come anytime in the next few weeks, right?

[haggyland]

I checked OSC last night, and it is still not up there. Any day now...

Heading towards the end of March.... who's got a guess on when the shovels hit the ground.

With your connections, maybe you can get up on top of the PE building to take the pics.... better view

with panoramic view!
