Message: [QUOTE="FrancoPizza, post: 1370337, member: 5195"] It had better come with much more than a new roof. A new roof and a refurbished west wing might impress the local fans and mid-major recruits but not sure that will be enough to get us back to perennial top 25. We need a new stadium with a retractable roof -- the latter might be an extra $25-50M and get used once a year -- but more importantly it will let us stand apart from the crowd. I'd be all for putting this on campus but obviously financial support would never happen this way. Isn't there an upstate competition getting underway for three $500M jackpots in state funding? I believe any proposal requires a 5:1 to 10:1 backing in private dollars. The only private businesses in CNY with that kind of capital are SU and Destiny. Just saying. I love the on-campus atmosphere, but I'll take a shiny new stadium at the inner harbor if that means we'll have a relevant football program again someday. [/QUOTE]
