FWIW -- Ringo from Chat.
Can't be good that George isn't able to get to the 50mill goal to break ground this month even with the 10mill gift, any reason to be worried
I don't really think so. George still seems supremely confident to me. I asked him if there was any chance they push it back a year and he said no. He has been working all along on the timeline of starting sometime in April or the first half of May and that is still doable.
My two cents -- not even a little bit worried.

I'm not worried either that it gets done eventually. It's more of a "when" than an "if", but all I keep hearing about when is either "not yet" or "soon". When will "then" be "now"??
This. What is George going to tell Ringo or anyone in the press? Yeah, I was brought in for fundraising, but it is not looking good on our donations. That isn't going to happen.
I will eat crow and be very happy if that is indeed the case.

If the design is anything like that I would be a happy alum. Need to make sure that the Franklin Field side is a bit more welcoming and architecturally interesting than the back side of the IPF. Love what they did to that corner of Folsom though.
Also Tini, it is the Concept Presentation which I am assuming is roughly a 60% design milestone. We should see renderings soon. I hope.
Maybe today, actually.
That would be great.
The AD really should be releasing drawings and renderings as they receive it. If you want to excite the fan base then you need to show them the fancy drawings so they can get excited about it.

Just an FYI they have already moved a FacMan department or 2 out of the Northeast side of the staduim and are close to moving recycling and grounds out to temporary locations.
Yeah, one of my friends senior project involved moving and designing the recycling center

Tailgaters will be a whole lot less pissed off if the facilities improvements help us recruit some athletes who help us win.

I support systemic racism
Surprised they aren't re-doing the field house, but this is badass
Gonna be nice.
What was that?!?! A facility for ants?!?!
For menehune?
They are, just in a different phase. Building the IPF and expanding the Dal Ward was the number one priority for RG.

A couple good reasons for that.
1. Training, rehab, meeting, office and locker room facilities enhance recruiting and player development -- therefore this was most important from a "program building" standpoint.
2. The stuff with Balch and the West side of the stadium is going to increase premium seating and revenue, so it's easier to finance against new revenue projections versus what is going on in the 1st phase.

The tailgating pain should lesson a little bit when the IPF is opened up for pre-game festivities.
Yep. It's completely unacceptable what some of our athletes had to do in the current space (ie. no showering for some)
