TU Article on UA stadium study

[alumni '92']

a new stadium may still be a few years off, and will no doubt require the clearing of a few major political/financial hurdles, but it is good to see talk about the possibility in the TU Danes Consider Stadium

Certainly a step in the right direction. I'm assuming the turf field would be for lacrosse so they can plow it in the spring. Should be interesting to see what they come up in terms of capacity, etc. Hopefully McElroy will elaborate at the luncheon.

Does anyone still think 1AA Scholarship football is a "pipedream?" No way in the world do they consider building a new stadium or greatly renovating it if they are not stepping up in class. By the time this new stadium is built they will be in this new conferencre that looks like will be ready by then. I think it is the CAA???? not sure.

 

They will probably break ground by 2006 and be completed by 2007. I do not see them spending 26 million like Stony brook. I see them enclosing University Field and placing stadium seating on both sides of the field like they did at Hofstra. Make it Stadium like. as long as they replace the bleachers and those huge flower pots. Makes it tough to watch a game.

Never doubted you.

 

The good thing is that atleast something is in the works. The only thing I worry about is the State dragging its feet and slowing down the process.

 

A new floor in the RACC is a much easier get and needs much less approval. I'm hoping for both - ASAP.

 

Now let's get a Quarterback for next year!!!!!!

I know you didn't doubt me, but everyone else did.I got blasted when I brought this point up a month or so ago. I agree....we need a QB.
