The campus development agreement says the school won't build a stadium until a new highway exit is in place. A new Interstate 95 interchange at Spanish River Boulevard won't be complete until 2013, state transportation officials said. But on Tuesday the FAU board of trustees agreed to move forward with plans to build a stadium that could open in 2010.
IMO, this is a non-issue. There are far more commuters to FAU on a normal class day than on a game day.

It's a non issue. Boca just needs something to complain about.

However, I am astounded at how much the city tries to throw roadblocks in the way of a great institution that does nothing but make Boca a better place to live.
Imagine how many cities would bend over backward to get FAU to move there.

The median age in Boca is around 42 or 45. Include the surrounding unincorporated area and other cities and the age drops. Why is it that everyone insists it's such an old place?
Go to Publix on any given weekday and you will see why people think Boca is full of the walking dead ;)
GO OWLS!!!

I'm sure this will be brought up when the university meets with the city. FAU gets so much frikin' opposition when it tries to grow and change. Everyone has to put their 2 cents in as to what FAU should or shouldn't do. If the city of Boca had their way, FAU would still have only 5000 students and all juniors and seniors.
