Thank you even though stopping construction for the season seems a little silly to me, but hey I just help pay the bills with my money at the games. lol. thanks again.Posted On: Jun 18th 2018, 1:21 PM #378868
AGREED! I would think construction in progress would draw attention and thus more donors, even small ones personally.

You guys ever think that they might not be able to continue construction while it’s in use?

But for the NEW structure and even the new practice fields, they could be in progress (NOT on game day) and a) show the public and recruits FAU IS progressing and b) GET IT BUILT! Not wasting 4 months more!

I doubt people won’t think it’s going to progress.GeorgiaOwl said
For the current work area I agree the work needs to be done.

A final thought, part of this space IS being used for academics so are e getting ANY financial help for the project from the State, if not we should be. If say 10,000 sq. ft. is for academics of the 96,000 sq. ft. total than THAT proportion should be able to get State funding IMHO.
Glad to hear this news though, excited for the future, GO OWLS!

Did monumental Jimbo Fisher hiring signify new era of unified leadership at long-fractious Texas A&M?
The funny thing is the talk of Jimbo wanting a seperate dedicated building for football that DID NOT SHARE SPACE WITH CLASSROOMS.
I AM PROUD THAT FAU IS PROUD TO HAVE ACADEMICS AND ATHLETICS MIX! Many have said Jimbo ran a dirty program, well I don't know much but I think he was wrong on THIS issue at least.
