Future Campus Framework Presentation...

Perhaps widening the concourses would fall within ADA upgrades? No clue here. I'm sure specific plans will be released soon, right?

Perhaps federal ADA compliance funding is available.

Syverud in February 2015:

"Replacing the dome's inflatable roof would cost north of $10 million," Syverud recently told Syracuse.com/The Post-Standard. "Building a new sports arena off-site stadium would be hundreds of millions of dollars. And I don't have hundreds of millions of dollars at the moment."

$105 mil is just a little north of $10 mil, indeed. Wonder what the look on Kent's face was when he saw that price tag? Based on this statement and when it was said, it seems to me that maybe Syverud would have looked a little harder at building another stadium entirely if he knew the cost would be this high. And if he didn't have hundreds of millions of dollars at the beginning of 2015, wonder how they are gonna make a go of this only a year later.

The ADA references are most assuredly in reference to some grant funding money from a federal source.

I was hoping for like 400M budget.

 

[rrlbees]

Don't know if its in the planned budget, but don't be surprised if the Arch is connected to the Dome.

Makes so much sense. Food courts, bar, store for buying shirts/jerseys/other paraphernalia. Perfect.

Maybe Shirt World can get the gig

It's great to hear an announcement. First and foremost, we have a roof decision and cost estimate ($105M). So that's progress.

But $150M for "ADA compliance" ...? That's a head-scratcher. Is the hotel idea out? What about the open space /atrium concept? What about cutting into the structure to expand concourse space and provide more food/entertainment options? I can see $1.5M for ADA compliance and the rest for general renovations. But $150M ... seems like a decimal mistake.

It doesn't say $150M for ADA compliance only.

Yes, sorry, $100M (corrected by edit). ($50M for Archbold changes, $105M for roof). The PS article says:

The school said the new roof is estimated to cost $105 million. The Archbold gymnasium upgrades are slated to cost $50 million. Another $100 million will be spent to comply with ADA regulations at both sites.

I really don't understand the US Bank stadium. Half clear? Why?

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Unless you get AC, won' that be even hotter than it is now when the sun is out.

 

[MaxwellCuse]

I wonder who is going to have the honor of informing the Boneyard about this?

Awesome, if true.

I made the same mistake you did - trusting the Post Standard for getting it right.

The University release says "approximately $100 million for improvements that include Americans with Disability Act-related upgrades critical to ensuring an inclusive experience as well as other improvements to the Dome.

Ahhh... now that's a horse of a different color. Thank you.

The $10m was replacing the Teflon with Teflon. Not putting a hardtop on it.

Maybe that includes air-conditioning. Isn't a propensity for heat rash a disability?

You cut off the words AND other dome...

No .. I quoted the article as it was written as of its original posting time ... 4:13 PM. That version of the article cut off those words. Check my link.

The "and other Dome" language was added in an "updated" article at 5:24 PM.

They corrected it.
