Message: [QUOTE="NJCuse97, post: 2110495, member: 5058"] A post from you in response to someone questioning your facts as speculation about 18 months ago: [I]So I was just wondering... are you sticking by your proclamation and timeline for announcement? Lots of different opinions voiced but your "information" sounded the most definitive and caused the thread to go viral, so to speak. Not trying to put you on the spot, but I also don't want to get too excited and have that balloon pop if the only real "news" is that SU is still in the conceptual phase mulling their options. I have no problem replying to this. I have a friend that has seen the plans for a renovation to the dome. Now to be fair my friend isn't very smart. I was told the roof was retractable obviously he was wrong. I was also told the it was either going into the law building or tearing it down obviously the law building was actually archibald. so do I have a few points wrong, yes but hey the wrong info I was fed entertained everyone.[/I] So first, let me apologize to you. I reread my post and I see how I may have come off wrong, as a jerk. I didn't mean to sound like a jerk, but you are very up and down and flitter back and forth between knowing things as fact and getting angry because people don't immediately believe you (some of them with information too) and then this latest one where you've gone to the opposite polarity and not only were your facts now guesses, but also you can't see how the University will do anything good, which you see as the norm. Something will get done. It has to. It may not be a new stadium, or a renovation of a scale to make the place feel new, but it will be a substantial change (again, it has to be) and will bring good attention to the University's AD. Donors are the key in determining what it will ultimately be. That said, they genuinely are still in the very early stages. The simple irony is that while "we want the world and we want it now", the less we do, the faster it is likely to happen. The University needs to strike a balance, and I believe many will be disappointed because we've all built such grand images in our heads of professional multi-billion dollar facilities in Dallas and Minnesota. I only hope the majority of people will be pleased and see it as a huge step in the right direction. [/QUOTE]
