Money Problems for the stadium?

The AD needs to concentrate on raising money instead of the damn job interviews. If he wants to leave that bad leave and lets get someone that can help ut the damn money on the table. Enough is a freakin nuf >:(
I like Angelos but there comes a time when you stop with the job searchs to do the job at hand. Sorry but this is getting rediculous
Well, he reads his blog email questions. Maybe we should all send him a message to get to work. I really think he would be required to inverview on his own time. Use vacation time or the weekends but working in a state job might be different. Like they say, "its good enough for government work".

FIU has a stadium going up as we speak. They're gonna be playing ball! We're gonna be the laughingstock. Just get the damn thing built!

Ok then you can order your season tickets for 2011, but Ill be in that stadium in 2010 even if its in my lawn chair as bulldozers work around me!
That might be the only way that you will be in an on-campus stadium in 2010.
GO OWLS!!!
Is the current version of the stadium out of the picture? At least the AD is determined to build something and even if it is 20K it is better then the Lock. I am sure it will all work out.
It isn't totally out of the picture, but it doesn't look too likely that anything will be in place by 2010.
GO OWLS!!!
I think we're jumping from point a (which is stadium in 2010) to point f (which is stadium 201?) too quickly. Granted, what Angelos said is very disheartening not just to potential recruits but to us fans, but it kind of sounds like some ppl are jumping ship at the first sign of a leak. As HS says, we have to keep the faith. I firmly believe the stadium will be there by 2010 despite whats currently happening.
I don't read Angelos' statement as having anything to do with a date. He's just saying that if we can't get a 30k seat stadium we'll do what FIU did and build an 18k seat stadium that we'll build onto over time. 18k is less than Lockhart but it would be brand new and on-campus, so at least it would be a step in the right direction. I'm not too worried that we'll have less than a 30k just yet… it's too early to be worried I think.

First sign of a leak?? This ship has been riddled with holes since day one. One empty promise after another. I want to see a stadium as badly as anyone else. I am just tired of all of the BS.

This thing won't take long to build.
Finding the funds might.

"I need to go to the f***in' bank and get an f***in' loan"
FAU needs to go to the bank and get an f***in' loan.
And yeh as cool as the dome stadium was, I don't know why everyone (Brogan, Angelos, and HS) were for it in the first place. It was way too much money to realistically happen. On the other hand, maybe when we are watching UCF head to the Big East and we have a 30k stadium that is nice but not nice enough we will have regretted not forkin over $150M for a dome that everyone in South Florida wants to play in and the Big East wants in its conference.
Sigh.

Ask for 300k, and really want 250k…
Except, in this case, we ask for the 60k…would settle for 30k…and now are being shown 18k with no frills…
what's next - Boca High rentals?

Let's just reiterate that we are not at the point of going with 18-20k yet. Right now we're getting a 30k seat stadium in 2010 until we hear otherwise.
