Which joke would that be?
He's just grasping at straws now.

Thank you. It hadn't occurred to me that someone would think I thought we were seriously putting the club room in a weight room. I mean I've posted some pretty stupid @#$, but ....
Administrators are asking the regents, I think it's safe to say the university is on board with it
:rofl:
Not trying to speak for the Regents or the campus admin, but this seems like the perfect solution for parking. 600 spaces that are basically invisible from "ground level". I can see them wanting to eliminate as much surface parking as possible, but maybe this is a perfect compromise (which, of course, means they may oppose it with their "CU Logic"). JMHO.
It has more to do with CU trying to encourage students/faculty to commute and/or use public transportation.
They can encourage all they want, at the end of the day, they have a growth plan for the school that calls for upwards of 35,000 students on that campus in the next 10 years (I don't know the exact numbers, but that's about what they are). Those folks can't all live within walking or biking distance to the campus. They are going to need additional parking, and this is a perfect solution to that problem. Nobody will even see the structure. I'd be shocked if they don't approve the request.
Would you care to explain your post? You've real spot on with this facilities stuff, by the way. I guess I should just defer to you :rolling_eyes:
Plus, parking at CU is a big revenue producer between the amount of people who pay for permits/parking time and the tickets they give out.
Sure. But I think they also recognize that the big wigs need a place to park and they'll pay for it. You can't ask someone who donated 6 or 7 figures to ride the bus to a game. And over time, that parking structure at Folsom will be a cash cow.

I'm sure Uncle Phil would have found several reasons if RG hadn't told him to STFU first.

That's a great picture. I have to remind myself that technically, Phil is RG's boss, but from the looks of that pic, RG is the one in charge. We have no idea what is being said, but the look on both faces sure makes it look like RG is giving the orders.

Psst. Just heard the proposed IPF underground parking structure connects to the vast network of secret tunnels that extend from DIA.

Actually RG reports to the CFO (Kelly Fox) who reports to Benson.
I know people who will swear that there is a set of tunnels that connects CU to Boulder High. I've never seen them, but I know folks who absolutely swear that they've seen them and that they do exist.

Ketchup is for winners Ted!
Seriously that will never get old for me--even if nobody else ever comes on board.
So nobody else found this funny? I say rep this man

My crush level on RG is getting uncomfortable.
Since the statute of limitations has long since run, I will say this, when I was a freshman at CU in 1984 me and some friends noticed that the grate covering a steam tunnel access point in front of our dorm was unlocked, and we decided to go spelunking. We explored from pretty much up to the power plant, down to the engineering center, and all the way over to Kitteridge. These were pretty modern tunnels. Once you got close to the steam plant, they looked pretty old, and you could not get to the tunnels on the west side of campus except by going through the steam plant, which we didn't want to do for fear of getting caught. Any side tunnel to Boulder High would be an extension of the west side tunnels, and while they certainly can be that long, if you think of the geography (going under Boulder Creek, down a big slope, etc) it would be almost impossible to build.
I have actually gone from the Chemistry building through tunnels and emerged on folsom field. I had a friend in middle school who knew how to do it. We went under the building next to Balch with the old swimming pool, under Balch and emerged at field level. I don't think there's a branch to Boulder High though, because it was all utility heating tunnels.
What if Allbuffs was just an elaborate sting operation to find out who broke into the steam tunnels in 1984.
