Latest update on Stadium

Cummings is sooooo slow.  I sure hope they don't win the bidding.

Too late.  Cummings & Balfour Beatty already won as a joint venture.

Looks like everything is moving along nicely:

There is a verbal commitment for the naming rights–i's dotted and t's crossed expected sometime around Nov.1.

Money for the developmental rights will be in the bank sometime in November and enable FAU to go get the financing required.

Groundbreaking around March/April timeframe if all goes well.

Go Owls!!

Just wondering now that we are almost into November how all this is looking?


I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$ and I'm out of bubble gum.

I hope and pray that when Boca agrees to the stadium issues at it's Nov. 10 mtg., the dam will break and the project will gather steam and MOVE!!!!

Nobody wants to get that much money hung up on IF Boca wants file injunctions halting construction over B.S. issues.

Re: Latest update on Stadium

Well I just watched the Boca vote online (who knew that they webcast Boca city council meetings??) and the FAU agreement passed unanimously!  I don't think this was ever in doubt, but the members of the city council all seemed very supportive.  The Mayor told everyone in attendance to circle 9/17/11 on their calendars and be at the first home football game.

Now that this is approved, anyone know what the next step is?

Interesting. I wonder what the opponent will be on 9/17/11 since this was the last update we had:

I mean, we do have a bye week on 9/17 but right now we have 12 games set for 2011 with the first home game on Oct.1st… against ULM…
