Hey, Alcoa in Massena is available too. 500 jobs lost, so much for the deal Cuomo crowed about two years ago. Ok, back on topic

Sounds like the BOT is meeting today. And Mr. Ensley was installed on the board last night.

Man, I've been patiently waiting to hear SOMETHING about the Dome reno from yesterday's meeting. Nothing???? C'mon!! Isn't the info shared on a "need to know" basis?

After today's nail in the coffin, we desperately need some good news on the renovation plans. Someone make up something... anything... the on-field product is just too depressing... Dungey has 2 strikes and is not even a sophomore... we need some hope!

We're getting cupholders.

 

[CUSU]

Anything meaningful coming out of the meetings? Wasn't there a BOT meeting today or yesterday?

 

[skurey]

We're getting cupholders.

If that's all we got I would honestly be very happy

Not sure if serious. If all we get are cup holders might as well fold up.

We're getting cupholders.

The downside: they are replacing the pee troughs.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

can't wait to see the final plan

heard today that the steel for the renovation is 300 million and the company that got the bid doesn't think it would be possible to do the work while the dome is open. Also heard that rumor again about no more booze being sold in the dome per ACC rules.

If so, Scott Frost is going to here awhile.

$300M in steel?

3/5 of the budget for just one item of material?

The no booze doesn't make sense. Didn't a couple ACC schools just start alcohol sales this year?

Yep, that's what I heard today from a somewhat reliable source. I think the figure is embellished along with the notion of no more alcohol in the dome but do believe the company has a bid for the work.

Likely material, fabrication and erection, arguably the largest majority line item in the project
Not sure if state money is involved but would have to be likely american made which increases price as well

If it was for materials and labor I could see that, but just in material, I'd hope not.

300 mil in steel ? No way

300 mil in steel ? No way

Hey! Those new pee troughs are going to be seriously heavy-duty!

 

[NJCuse97]

If state money were involved, the DESIGN would have to be bid by open invitation. Any firm that could prove themselves eligible. They would not be allowed to just hand it to a firm from Missouri without giving a NY firm a shot. Steel is not in fabrication.

 

[Cusefan78]

300 mil in steel ? No way

Yeah that's impossible. If that is the case it's over a billion dollar project

Steel prices are near 15 year lows and less than half what it was 10 months ago. No way the steel can be that high as that makes it a two billion dollar project in January 2015.
