Status of Indoor Football Facility

[shandeezy7]

I've got 10 million theoretical dollars for the cause

I was told to spread the word because much help will be needed.

I'm pretty good with a hammer, and I've hung my share of sheetrock. I wouldn't want to do any electrical work.

First person who should write a big fat check is former HCDM

Who?

 

[AAM62]

That would be .6% of what is needed

Is it a 20M dollar facility? Or we're you just throwing out a number?

 

[44PRIDE]

The last I heard was that it was going to be $30m for the facility.


Is there a way to donate DIRECTLY into this project? Not into the general athletic program, not into the new pee troughs, not into band uni's...but directly into the Practice Facility project?

As has been indicated several times since just before the coaching carousel hit Manley, there's an athletics donation page where you can stipulate that your donation is only to be used for an indoor practice facility. This is a bit crude, but should send your money to the right cause.

There was lots of discussion about this at the time. The expectation is that there would be an actual public campaign to raise the funds. This should involve a dedicated page with project details and a simple "donate now" button. Additionally, one would expect current donors and season ticket holders to be directed to said page and provided with a simple donation form for those who are Internet-averse. Having included that with last year's season ticket package would've been nice.

Just to add to Orange PA's Post, FWIW the few nuggets i heard and perhaps someone else can confirm :

* should be officially annouced this week

*Construction will start immediately.

* Fundraising will be called the "I'm In" Campaign, not sure how it will work but the idea is to give more ownership of the program to the fans.

Bottoms up approach since top down didn't work too well.

Sounds promising. Good to hear they are learning from the mistakes they have been making with fund raising.

In the end though, it comes down to the fans and how much they choose to support the program.

that is the big news about the campaign in my opinion - this will give the new staff a nice new selling point while they're out recruiting their asses off for next year's class

love seeing them being proactive to support the program and trying to sustain the upward momentum into the ACC

I'm in!

I hope its correct, i have no reason to doubt the information. Hopefully the will market the hell out of the Campaign at the basketball games.

Adding to what OrangePa & oldpinepoint have said, it seems like the BOT approved approx $15 million in addition to $ already raised this past weekend at a meeting in Miami.

Good Info DCCuse, any idea on the final cost for the Practice facility?

 

[DCCuse]

Huge news. Commend the BOT for taking this step.

My guess is that you can thank Marrone in part for that. Wake up call.

Not necessarily. SU usually doesn't announce campaigns until a substantial amount of funding has already been obtained. Note the recently concluded $1 Billion campain.

$30 million! That's twice what USF is spending on their new IPF and 4 times what Georgia Tech recently spent on theirs. Should be a damn nice facility or is the difference attributed in large part to the cost of doing business in NYS?

Regardless, I'm in.
