Find that hard to believe...even 100 sounds ludicrous.I heard it was 1,000.

Guys, please, the jokes are only fun when it's Rutgers or somebody else. The news is just too depressing. We need a depressed emoticon. The sad one just doesn't cut it.Or Wake Forest...without the academic prestige.
What news? I haven't seen any news on this in about 6 months.The news is just too depressing.
That was a new building near a residential neighborhood.
... Do I think they are not having the funding success they hoped for? Yes. Do I think whatever will be VE'd? Yes. Is it dead in the water? I sincerely don't think so. Will they look to the state for money? I just don't think so, at least not in the form of a large state appropriation. Hang in there, there are a lot of irons in the fire, but there is also great momentum off the field.
This is so depressing. Who makes the decision to cut back? It's not like they were proposing a $3B project initially. Don't bother with the reno if that's the case. Mahoney - who is a big SU fan - is tight with Cuomo. That's why we're getting all this state fair $$ - because it is outside city limits. Maybe wait for Miner to leave office and see if we can renew talks with the state then. Go big or go home.
Is there any reason why a large name sporting goods company wouldn't be interested in such a high profile campaign? Nike and UA constantly battle, and Nike has more money than God, so they could fund the entire process and call the building Swoosh. World wide attention, in 5 years people wouldn't even remember what a carrier dome was.

Nike needs to send all that money they stopped spending on golf clubs and Tiger commercials some place.
It has to do with "payback" on the investment.
Just how much additional revenue will they generate because their name is on an arena in Central New York?
Nike is connected to Oregon. UA to Maryland because that's where Plank went to school.
Not all advertising results in an immediate and quantifiable return on investment, contrary to your belief.
And Nike, UA and Adidas are connected to several universities around the world.
I will say for certain that's impossible. The roof of the dome needs to be replaced and the structure that currently exists is ancient technology. The scope of the project may change, but one way or another the dome will be upgraded in the next few yearsI heard today that the dome renovation was dead. like completely dead. anyone know more than me?

Seriously what a buzzkill after a great day of hoops.I heard today that the dome renovation was dead. like completely dead. anyone know more than me?
Agreed, except hidden in those costs are additional insurance, maintenance, and risk based fees, that include harnessing workers into the roof during snow storms, to clear it off. Something Sala has said to me many times is a huge issue. I think the failing of the roof in MN, sold them on not replacing the current structure. Now they could certainly cheap out and put a hard top in the most basic way on top, but given what was presented about how risky it was to be the only air supported roof left in the world, and the difficulty maintaining it, seems like a non-decision. Similar in many ways to the I-81 talk. Many options, but only a few realistic ones.Technically they can still go the cheap route and replace the roof with the same material at a cost of $25 million (2014 estimate. I'm sure that cost will go up, but still a lot less than $250 million). This also says that the life of the current roof is good until 2024, so there's nothing imminent, structurally speaking.
Abandon or renovate Carrier Dome? Two years to decide, chancellor says
Syracuse still mulling options for Carrier Dome; Board of Trustees will meet next week
yeah that's how I felt tooSeriously what a buzzkill after a great day of hoops.
