Dome Renovation

[orange79]

Serious question, if a poster here won the powerball, how fast could said poster get a private lunch with ADMC? Lets assume said poster was a general nobody, who barely donated previously, but is an alum, and does love SUA. Would they be able to call the AD and simply ask for the lunch?

I would imagine if someone called and said, "Hi Mark, I have multiple millions to give you. Can we meet?", his calendar would clear PDQ.

I will let you know after I win.

I have heard that meetings with firms that could be involved with design/renovation have been pushed back until January.

I believe the Board meeting is scheduled for Jan 20th. Don't remember if you told me this but someone did.

However, to cool everyone's jets, there are 2 options that I know off that are on the table, Cost effective choice - roof replacement only. The right choice (my opinion) - full Dome renovation!

Unless tabled for some reason (funding in my opinion would be a great reason to table), we should know this month.

If the current roof is good until 2024, why waste a bunch of money replacing it years before the end of its useful life? Why not spend that money elsewhere on more important improvements?

A replacement inflatable roof is $10 million so you know something more permanent is going to cost a fortune.

Top ten but with a bullet if you are holding the winning numbers.

I would imagine that for a large enough donation Mr. Coyle would come to wherever in America said donor would care to have lunch.

Were you calling me a "general nobody"? lol

If I win the Superball lotto, I'll pay for a new stadium.

If I win, I'll finally get to go to Club 44!

 

[TexanMark]

I know you...you'll still not get invited.

You'll be disappointed. Better off to get refurbished pee troughs named in your honor.

 

[MaxwellCuse]

I wonder who's got the better odds?

SUFaninNJ winning the lottery or SU Chancellor Kent Seyverud getting a pot of gold from Andrew Cuomo to renovate the old Dome?*

* I was going to abbreviate the Chancellor's name until I realized that spells SUCKS!

If I win, I'll finally get to go to Club 44!

If I win, you'll have to get used to hearing, "And now, let's welcome our ORANGE79 SYRACUSE ORANGEMEN!!!!!

The punch-line goes:
"I know Pedro. We once had lunch together."

 

[Antiprodigy]

If I won, I'd donate millions, but only if they would change the name back to Orangemen!

 

[SWC75]

We'd all make waaay better rich people.

You still won't be able to afford the martini.

This topic has gone cold. Any inkling of when something may be announced. I thought I had heard sometime in January...

Anybody catch all of Andy Cuomo's State of the State? From what I was able to catch it sounds like Miner will finally be getting some help from Albany to fix Syracuse's leaky water pipes, but I heard nothing to indicate help with Dome Renovation.

So, back to the drawing board? Or maybe just a roof replacement? What's being heard up in CNY?

My fear precisely. I was hoping the Dino hire would be followed up quickly with good news on the Dome. The silence we are getting instead is maddening and concerning. But maybe you guys who are closer to the program (and geographically closer to The Hill don't share this concern?
