Latest update on Stadium

fauowls44 said

I read the same.  Certainly good news, although not really the official "groundbreaking" I am waiting for.  When do they go get the financing?  I remember reading that they would be going to the bond market early in 2010.  We have the development deal and Boca's approval.  What happened to that naming rights deal that was supposed to be announced in November?  Is that still something that will happen?

Yes.

Yes.

???

Its December?

Did the naming rights in Nov deal get delayed? Or did it fall thru?

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

Yes.

Well we know that there will be a naming rights deal eventually.  My question is if we will be getting a naming rights deal done anytime SOON.  We were supposed to hear about something in November and that obviously didn't happen.

I'm glad to see the fences up and everything but honestly it's like a broken fringing record with this school.  I won't believe anything until I see it in print and shovels in the ground.  How many times have they said to have naming rights and are making an anouncement on a certain time frame.  Anyone remember last may when they said they expect to finalize a deal in the summer….. ???

Re: Latest update on Stadium

There have been no updates on Naming Rights other than previously stated comments.  I, for one, believe FAU should not say very much about it until it is finalized.  Too many things can cause a deal to go bad.  People get word that a certain business is talking to FAU, for example, and the next thing you know, idiots are on blogs throwing in politics about how they got a bailout and now are naming a stadium, etc., without knowing any details.  Next thing you know the deal falls through.

The good news is that due to the developmental rights money, the naming rights are not necessary to move forward, just icing on the cake.

FAU is currently paying architects, engineers, and clearing the land, etc.  If we all know FAU, we know they are not spending that money with no plan to move forward.
