Confirmed CFP expanding in 2024 after agreement with Rose Bowl....

Already a good way there:

Just need six or so cranes to raise it.

Raise the roof!

With the new BIG tv contract, each team will receive annual revenue between $80 million and $100 million.

So, financing an additional $300 million for a retractable roof would be easy for a major program like Penn State.

I think the idea is a good one.

What is $1 Billion per year divided by 14 (or 16)?

Maybe Populous could figure out a way to just plop a retractable roof on top of the current configuration. That would be AWESOME!

Getting back to the cost thing. As of now, it just doesn't add up. It would not seem possible without large donations from a group of supporters and/or a naming rights deal. What corporation would go for a naming rights deal in a "population center" this small?

How 'bout we give Verizon naming rights for a good WiFi system?

Where would they come up with one?

Did you read even read the article?

Yes. In fact, I've followed the situation for the last several months.

It really sucks that this could not been worked out during Joe's tenure. I am fairly certain he was pushing for a playoff all the way back to the late 60's

so $300 million for a stadium that is used 7 times a year?

Or will they host monster truck rallies in it during winter?

 

[WVilleLion]

$300M? This is Happy Valley. Multiply by at least 2.3x

my understanding is that B10 is moving to eliminate conferences.
This will result in top 2 teams in division championship game. In most recent years this would eliminate the B10 west pretender. the tie breaker rules need to updated and well thought through to eliminate OSU - SCum bias.

I like the name

The Beaver Dome.

if they put a roof on it.
