[Chris02M]

Unless you've surveyed every person who has attended a sporting event in the Dome over the last 4 years, how do you know?

Common sense. Of which I have. Just to be safe though, I'll give you 1.

I think the Yankee Stadium ads are a good idea. It's good for brand awareness but it's not going to be effective for football until SU starts to win and more NY alumni/others want to be affiliated with the brand (& winning).

I was told the chancellor at TCU was speaking at a luncheon, he mentioned that what the football team really wanted was $7 million for a new indoor practice facility (this was a few years ago). Two hours later at the end of the luncheon, he was approached by 2 gentlemen who said they would like to help. "Thats great!" said the chancellor "how much can you donate?"
"Oh, the whole $7 million" they said.

Heard that there is activity over on the IPF site this morning.Was told that a crew was working on the turf field (removing it?). Going to try and head over that way later to take a look...hoping this means things are moving forward.

Didn't put a single fanny in the Dome seats.

Not all marketing is about directly selling tickets - if you think that your vision is very near sighted.

Most marketing is about building a brand (hate to use that terminology - but's the way it is). Syracuse looking to extend it's brand into the biggest media market in the world, at it's #1 stadium? It's a no brainer.

maybe we are pulling a clemson and just putting the backo in place until the funds come in.

Yes, I think. When you said "Didn't put a single fanny in the Dome seats" you're inferring that it's not money well spent.

That sign is one of the better ideas SU marketing has had.

I guess he is the 1 "fanny in the seats" that Bees was referring to.

They are removing the turf field. Let's see if it's finished in May/June as scheduled

It's a hoax! Like crop circles!

These things never finish on time. I'd be surprised if this did.

The owner of the Sabres, a Penn State grad, gave Penn State $84 million to build a hockey facility.

Why are they removing the turf thats there? Its like two years old. I thought they were gonna just build around it and keep the same turf.

Cost of doing business...probably cheaper to rip it up.

 

[upperdeck]

im not sure digging it up means you cant reuse it.. it goes down in pieces

My best guess, there will be quite a bit if equipment moving around in there to erect the structure. Even if it comes in pieces there will be a lot of action where the turf would be. They may just be pulling it up with the intention of putting it back down.
