Stadium Named

[uofalbany]

Maybe Lee saved all his cash and the name of the stadium is McElroy Stadium

Good grief...the anticipation is so high right now...I'm gonna burst. Well done by the AD to drum up this much curiosity and interest. They managed to turn this into a 10 page thread on this message board and most folks are dying to learn what this is all about. Talk about suspense...

 

Lets point out that the university has an entire group of people who do fundraising. If this is a very large donation, which it sounds like it, I'm sure it was going on prior to Mark's arrival. He deserves a ton of credit for turn around on the athletics, but credit will likely be due to the foundation and fundraising staff that have been working this for years (assuming that if its this big, its something that takes years to development and agree to).

 

 

Meant no disrespect...kudos to all involved. Man, I'm dying to find out the $$ amount.

It's more like 10 pages of danestep teasing everyone, with a little dash of MSGDG!

Nice! Thank you to the Bernard and Millie Foundation!

 

Not going to lie danestep, you did build it up as wayyyy more. You should have just kept it to yourself. IMPRESSIVE donation either way.

[uofalbany]

Well, the children's hospital at albany med deserved the 25m... Something much more important than

our mini stadium, which just received a substantial chunk of money.

Very nice!
