Beaver Stadium repairs

How about adding "Joseph Vincent Paterno Field" to the official name......i honestly do not know what backlash if any would occur...but i think older alumni (graduate before 2000) would give more.
Maybe your question ought to be, what is Kraft trying to say?
I’ve got to say, I love the rapid fire wisecracks in here. That took two two minutes from one wisecrack being posted to getting another one in response. It’s like being back in the bar with my friends at 22 without having to worry about who’s driving home.
If those 19 studies were done at The Skeller over a case of Green Grenades...the Stadium would have been done years ago!
Last week was a good week in this regard. I sometimes marvel at this.
Right. What would happen, outsiders would think poorly of Penn State?
The narrative is already set in stone. People either hate JoePa and Penn State or they don't. Nothing that we do or don't do will change the mindset.
One thing for sure, there may be some people who won't donate to PSU until Joe is honored, but I doubt there are any people who would STOP donating to Penn State if he was honored in one form or another.
Until he is honored I will continue to donate like I always do….$4.09
At the time I hadn’t seen Kraft’s full comments and figured she left something out in that tweet or didn’t give the full context.
Beaver shot stadium is offensive. Turn around and checkout the girl sitting behind you.
As someone who has worked around engineers, especially structural engineers, 19 studies for a stadium the size and age of Beaver does not sound out of sorts. Granted some of the studies were probablybased on "here is how much money we have and what can you do with it", but there are times when multiple scopes of work are going on, each on generating a report (aka study). There are also studies that look at costing only, given changes in pricing and other factors.
But I digress to the AKB on what is and what is not an appropriate number.

And, parts of Beaver Stadium are *very* old--some of it was moved in the 1960s to the current location. According to Wikipedia, parts date back to 1909, though I'm not sure which parts. It's more likely that the steel bleachers built in the 1930s are the oldest parts.
