ok, i can go there with if you dont think that is a fair assessment…BUT, qualify this statement please:
"revenue streams already determined"
since i already know what your answer will be, i will reitterate the fact that they are paying for it.
Bottom line.

No where is any information where FIU is "paying" for it……As far as everything else….it is looking awesome right now…
Either way, congrats on that…it looks fantastic and I am jealous. Your next season should be a blast no matter your record (which I think will be turning around shortly). But to talk a little trash…cant wait to beat you in that new stadium.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

i Hope you dont think i was knocking you up above, because i wasnt …i was merely pointing out to Walty why we "appear" to be behind…
i think it is great you are getting a revamped stadium…its great for the SBC that two programs are going to have "new" facilitites…
although, as you mentioned, ours will be NICER :P ;) ;D

The FAU-FIU game needs to become a home-and-home series. Neither team draws well at Joe Robbie.
FIU is getting a new stadium, BTW.

No problem…just wanted to say what I think, have read, and have spoken to personnel, is the financial structure of this new stadium…BTW, It is NOT a revamped stadium..it will be a totally new stadium in the same footprint of the "old". Hey, I said jealous in part, because of the feeling you guys will have when you see that beauty 'grow' before your eyes (like we are now)…not necessarily because of which one will be nicer…no concession on my part…let's just say both programs will be extremely happy showcasing the brand new stadiums…. ;)
forgive my ignorance here, but i thought they were adding on the the exsisting…not tearing it down??

I wonder if they'll have better "Pa King" there
(outside of the orange bowl some old man attended a parking lot with signs that read "Pa King $5.00")
Maybe that was for the Patriots fans back in the old days. ;D
