Yeah, I wanna see Boom Boom stand up to the lenders and tell them they can't touch tuition or state funding dollars. Might be worth it not to fire her to watch that spectacle.If they wait long enough, there will be no college football to worry about. There may no Penn State either.
Then again, spending the $700 MM now could hasten Penn State’s demise.
My only concern is the mixed metaphor... you don't slice nuts, you crack them. Although slicing is possible and more difficult.
And yet, somehow, without even taking on any of those "master plans", PSU ICA managed to spend every dollar coming in the door (and then some) with nothing left to take care of the things they had - or to put any away in reserves or for a "rainy day".
I believe much of the new premium seating — loge boxes, club boxes, etc — will not be sold on a price per game basis, but instead sold similar to a how luxury boxes are sold. I have refrained from buying seats in the Nittany lion Club because, while the seats are definitely better, the amenities and size of the indoor space simply don’t justify the price. I’m hoping the new loge boxes are dramatically better. I am willing to pay a sizable premium for that type of experience.
Which jogs my memory. In the article Boom Boom was quoted as saying that ICA wouldn't be undertaking any capital projects over the course of the 30 year time frame. When does that clock start? Before or after the $100mm they have teed up for soccer facilities, more Lasch renovations, the inflatable bubble, etc?
It's important to distinguish which projects will be paid for exclusively with donor money.
Exclusively? None of the above. Read that fundraising for Lasch was $7mm, soccer facilities $8mm, and target for the Greenberg Center $10mm. Zero for the East Area locker rooms and practice bubble, so maybe $25mm out of $100mm+
So they could be forced to use the reserves for an art museum? Yeah ok.
Another memory jogger. Believe I recall reading something that Kraft wanted to do something with McCoy. Is this another capex project that PSU won't be doing. Think that Petey and Boom Boom need to get their ducks in the same order.
I have no idea what you would think constitutes a "hit". I was merely commenting on your obsession. If I hit a nerve, so be it.
You recall when MCE lost it and just flipped on PSU and the program because of the Devlin stuff.....not sure what triggered this move, but the OCD level on 12am the last few months is over the top. Even when he states he would stop, he cannot.
Marsh Creek? Not even close. Tone is/was vastly different. MCE was beginning to resemble Chewie.
That‘s where the new art museum comes in.
