So, we don't want suites. We don't want cupholders. We don't want a track. We don't want to spend a lot of money.  How about shade? Can we have shade?

I am one of the few who doesn't care. The truth is it doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be OURS. We started in trailers. If we have to put dorms and track fields and a weird berm and bleachers or whatever, we will embrace the quirkiness and win anyway. 

My 1 standard is it needs to be better than the shack at UCF.

So P5 quality on an AAC budget?

It depends on how you define that. Cincy has a really awkward stadium set up. UCFs stadium literally shakes. Houston I have no negative comments other than who the hell is that sponsor. So... yeah, pretty much if they can do it so can we.

How about some Slime Green Seats

Sorry, it was sarcasm. I'm going to have to start using the </sarcasm> to indicate it.

It could be done with a greater donor base. There's a good margin available for us to improve there.

Is the golf course a definite no go? 

It should be. The traffic situation would be horrible... Fletcher bogs down during rush hour ... 46th street just doesn't have enough capacity... I understand a lot of parking would still be on campus... but not for concerts or other events.  (Try having a stadium concert and night classes at the same time).

The donor base is one reason USF didn't get the Big 12 invite (yet?).  UCF's donor base has exploded in recent years... success breeds success.

Yeah golf course is off the table, at the IPF groundbreaking Weatherford mentioned the stadium was not going to be north of Fletcher

No…all I can say is that I am trusting a politician here (family friend) which I don’t usually do. 

Have you talked to the family friend this week?
