OT: Temple Gets $25M Donation

[TexanMark]

Temple board of trustees member and president of Temple's athletics committee Lew Katz donated $25M to Temple last night, the largest donation in Temple's history. It very well could go towards an on campus stadium.

Temple is getting extorted by the Eagles with a demand for more rent. Temple is looking for options. Oncampus or going over to Franklin Field?

That should cover the cost of a new stadium. Only need to build one with the capacity to hold 300.

For the opposing fans?

They are making land grabs all around the university and building it out. a bunch of the buildings have that sort of ikea quality - look good from afar but when you get inside them you see they aren't the best - but they are really doing quite a good job transforming an area that is pretty rough. I think Temple may have the biggest undergrad population of any school in the country, but maybe i"m making that up. There is some level of built in support for sports there if they throw money into it.

For $25 million, Temple should buy Rutgers and move them to merge with them in Philly.

There's a perfectly good soccer stadium in Chester that they could use.

No!

PPL is a soccer facility!

I wish they would keep football out.

But I know they won't.
