Did just have a conversation with a friend of mine whose family is well-connected at CSU. He says they do have deep-pocket donors willing to commit cash, but that they're hesitant to jump in right now. He confirmed that the new AD is just all bluster right now, and hasn't actually raised a cent.

Why do we care if they fill it or not? If we had a tougher, hard-nosed AD, the game in Denver is dead. That alone is reason enough for us to be 100% behind this effort.
What's stopping them? The fact that they are donating to csu?
Basically they want to see signs of life before jumping in. He did say that Stryker might be willing to commit A LOT of cash - like funding most the new stadium herself.

This is so hilarious. Everybody loves to talk a big game and big bucks, but I guarantee you Pat Stryker's inner circle if financial advisors are saying that this would be the worst investment of her life.
It's not an investment. It's an attempt at immortality.
CSU prez confirms Ram fan's worst nightmare regarding a new on-campus stadium:
"Well, I think we’ll try hard to get there. Immediately, when you say something like that, people say, ‘Where are you going to get the money?’ We don’t know. We haven’t raised a penny for it. There’s not been a cent committed."
lol

Damn, that sucks for them. They want so desperately to be relevant, but they just can't get there.
THey don't even have the money to do that. Right now, they are just hoping they can pay the water budget to keep the trees alive.Maybe they can plant some more trees and pave another parking lot?
how can you raise money to build a new stadium when the 30,000 seat one you got is empty?
I’d stack us up academically with almost every institution in the Big 12. You might leave Texas out because of the massive size, but I’d put us up with the rest. I don’t think that we frequently get thought of in that area.”
It is interesting to read that place. You have a few sane ones, but they get drowned out.Ramnation remains mostly unconcerned with this development :lol:
If you build it...how can you raise money to build a new stadium when the 30,000 seat one you got is empty?
If you build it...
...They still won't come.
thought this is the reason why you don't build expensive whore houses.If you build it...
...They still suck.
