Is there still a chance to have the stadium ready for opening day in 2010?
The excitement has been building for a while now and what
a better way to set the stage then having a BCS opponent help christen the start
of a new era for FAU athletics and for the university.
Even though the window of opportunity is shrinking, there
is still hope that it can get done in time for opening day on 2010.
"The train is roaring down the tracks toward opening [the on-campus stadium] in 2010, the architects are on board, the construction folks are on board and it [stadium] has been designed, but the piece that needs to drop into that fast moving train is that financing piece," said FAU Athletics Director Craig Angelos.
It's no mystery that the finances have been holding back the process, but it's the biggest piece of the puzzle left to be ironed out. Angelos added that "the part of the puzzle trying to outsource the housing [part of the Innovation Village] for $12 million and that will be the first domino to fall and so we can use that $12 million dollars to help fund the stadium and then the housing will get going."
"The infrastructure is underway: the Alumni center across the street, the student recreation center, that mall going up on the south side is taking shape the way we anticipated, but the majority of the stuff we have been planning is going on the north side of the street, so everything is going to fall into place."
As the pieces of the puzzle continue to fall into place, Angelos remains positive that the financial aspect will fall into place in time by adding "we're hoping that [the finances] will drop in time for us to still keep that on track and keep that train moving quickly to reach it's destination in 2010."
"If that doesn't happen in a month or two then we will
probably have to pull back on the speed of the train and maybe it won't make it
by 2010 - maybe make it later on," he said.
How much later? 2011 or 2012? Angelos responded with "I would hope when we pull it back [speed of the train] that it will be a matter of months not years.
Angelos remains positive that it can still get done in time
for 2010.
"Once we hit our financial numbers then we are ready to lock in. Right now I'm still optimistic for 2010 until I see otherwise."
The financial benefits of opening day would be a huge boost
for the program, not only in turn of the being able to capitalize on what could
be one of the largest crowds for an Owl game, but all the possible donors that this
event could attract.
Can Florida Atlantic afford to miss the opportunity on capitalizing
on any possible momentum that this grand event would create - the grand
opening of "FAU Stadium" on Opening Day 2010 against the Spartans? It has all the
makings of a monster event that would surely benefit the Owl program on many
levels, not quite the same effect if we open the stadium later in the year
against a conference foe? Although, in all fairness, there is one out-of-conference game still to be scheduled in 2011.
Sure there is the potential of some short term losses if the stadium is not ready for opening day 2010, but the big picture is the future of the program- and in the long haul, the effect it will have on the program in general is what we need to look at. It is a much needed piece of the puzzle to the continued success that has been unprecedented for a young program.
So regardless of whether it is ready for opening day 2010, the thought of having a place to call home in 2010 should not be under sold. The event, regardless on when it happens, will mark one more step taken, one more accomplishment completed on a road lined with a bright future as the university continues to grow by leaps and bounds.
i'm TRYING to be optimistic, francois... i really am
i just don't see it happening for 2010... god, i hope i am wrong
I can truly understand why some have come to be pessimist on the Stadium getting done by 2010, it has been very frustrating for fans to watch what appears to be lack of effort on the Universities part (And you see FIU getting their done) - there has been some situations out of the Universities control for which they had to deal with: Economy being one.
They are very dedicated to making sure that the deal does move forward, in a matter that will not harm the overall health of the University as they continue to satisfy the many other needs of the university.
The Stadium will get done, it just a matter on when - opening day 2010 or later that year or being pushed back to opening day 2011.
It is a very positive sign, that things are moving forward and everything fall in place for the stadium.
Does it really matter if it's 2010 or 2011 - as long as it gets started, that is the real issue.
Great stuff as usual...

Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.
Hullo, how are you? I truly like your blog! I am wondering if u might help me (I am certain some other subscribers might also be interested).

As a movabletype web master yourself, do you maybe maybe know were i can find tutorials to be able to do this? Thanks!

I think cufflinks are a new phenomenom in mens fashion. There is truly no other accessory a man can wear that can bring so much to his appearance without subtracting from his class and splendour. Jewellery, eccentric clothing styles, and other flashy trends are good, but none of them have the class that cufflinks provide. Most men just don't notice how much it can boost their appearance.

I personally don't see a huge difference between standard shared hosting and VPS hosting, especially if your needs are basic, e.g. PHP, Mysql. Both are shared systems and performance is ultimately going to depend on the web host and how many users they decide to stuff onto a single box. Hit or miss, IMO. Go with something in your budget. If you have a lot of money you can put into this and you really do expect to grow, get a low-end dedicated server. It will save you many headaches later when you have to migrate your data to an upgraded infrastructure. If you're going to be small and stay small, find a reliable shared hosting account with PHP and Mysql. The VPS is great is you'll be running lots of sites or lots of custom code; if not, I don't think it will benefit you.
I used to use waxing to get rid of my excess hair but it was so painful that I wanted to stop. I gave shaving a try and it turned out somewhat but was sort of slow. So I spent a long time researching silk n sensepil and was extremely suprised. I actually used the tria and was absolutely satisfied with the results. It offered me permanent hair removal at an great cost. I definitly recommend it to anyone in place of stringing.

My family and i went on a nice excursion to India last yr, each and every thing was basically greatly superb there. My sister and i move a lot around plus had been to a nice handful of Wildparks. Everyone seen numerous little tigers, India elephants and as well as a lot of other charming wildlife at that point. Finally , the flora and fauna here in Southindia is definitely amazing and simply very different. In a handful of zones it truly is very green-colored that includes a lot plants, located in various other spots now there tend to be dessert parts. Inside of the hills you will often find a lot of especially hard to find and amazing flowers and as well trees. We all even previously had a couple of wonderful days in Goa on this beach front, the water was most nice and clean and most of the persons really lovely.

Insightful thoughts here. Are you certain this is the conscientious way to look at it though? My own experience is that we should pretty much live and let live because what one person considers just -- another person simply doesn't. Human beings are going to do what they want to do. In the end, they always do. The best we can yearn for is to point out a few things here and there that hopefully, allows them to make just a little better informed decision. Otherwise, great post. You're definitely making me think! --Ben

Skinny jeans look great on petites who have slender hips, slim legs and thighs, as well as relatively long legs for their short stature. Your biggest challenge will be to find a pair because they are few and far in between in the petite department.
