Message: [QUOTE="ImperialOrange, post: 273228, member: 362"] Agreed. I like the order of operations that the facilities upgrades are following. Even if we went with a SOTA practice facility first the other things would still be sorely lacking. Manley + upgraded facilities > New practice venue + 1970s facilities. As painful as the wait is it's better to fund raise vs deficit spend. Hopefully by 2015 all the things are in place and University will owe nothing on them. The closest thing to a silver bullet would be building it all at once and taking on the debt but there is still no gaurentee that the team succeeds and brings enough return (although I'd venture to say recruiting would take a big step as an immediate result). This way the football team will get theirs while the University can stay focused on being an actual University and continue building for the students as well as Athletics. [/QUOTE]
