Some live under an illusion.
But given the lack of interest amongst their donor community, it seems to me that many or most know enough not to throw good money after bad.
Easier to be a fan when you don't have to pony up the $$ to make it happen.

My favorite thing about CSU fans is their eternal optimism. After the initial distress on Ramnation, things have started turning back towards the optimistic! Surely they have hidden donors lined up, and they only announced the bare minimum required by law.
they could build an erector set style stadium like at UCF for a heck of a lot less and reduce the risk to taxpayers who will have to bail them out if it gets built and fails to meet the, ahem, lofty revenue projections....they'd still have a new on campus stadium just without a ton of bells and whistles...
They might be two dozen of the most optimistic men and women in America.

If the Big-12 was concerned about the Denver market, they would have worked harder to keep us in the conference. It is a complete fantasy to think that CSU is going to get a Big-12 invite.
Their best shot at remaining a small piece on the national stage is to attempt to engineer a new power conference that takes the best from conferences like the MWC, the WAC, and C-USA. There are teams in all of those conferences that can compete with the big boys and have proven it time and again.
These dreams of a P5 invite coming are nothing but garbage. The CSU fan base doesn't care enough about their team to support them to the level that they would be of any impact on TV revenue. The admin and AD really need to reevaluate their position before they bankrupt the department.
From today's Coloradoan:
"Nearly 60 percent of those who responded to a Coloradoan survey about the proposed on-campus stadium at Colorado State University indicated they do not want the project to move forward."

Yeah, but 80% of those 60% are Slider.

Not really surprising when you think about it. The people who are opposed to the stadium are vehemently opposed to it. They're a lot more likely to vote in a poll like this than the casual fan who probably supports the stadium.
Which further amplifies the issue, no? Those that oppose it are far more passionate than those that support it? At least I think that was your point.
Thats the point, yes. However, I also believe that there are more people who support it. That's my take on it, anyway. I'm sure the vast majority don't give a damn.

ramnation folks are saying many of the responses are from the same IP addresses and that it's from the same people who have been fighting the stadium-
they are saying the poll isn't a true reflection of what people really want- they are back thinking it will be built
Of course it isn't scientific - but RN are a group of fools if they think the majority in FoCo want it built (CU would probably have similar issues in Boulder, if not moreso).
Won't somebody think of the bees?Probably worse when you consider that the BDC editorial staff would come out against it. Environmental impact and all that.
Funny thing is, I don't remember the BDC making a big deal out of their old building on Pearl Street being sold for commercial use. I mean, shouldn't they have repurposed it as a downtown community park? Where was the article on that?
Lambnation counts bees in their projected gameday attendance calculations. Flys too.
