Absolutely, but do you really think they would?

I just need Budlight pony up 3 million for the NEZ and Target to pony up 4 million for the overhang.

Hell Target can do the Bar and Terrace. IDGAF!!

More like Open Your Wallet if you want to get these things done. We are over taxing the people that support the programs and it is time for either new blood to stepup or be found.

Depends on the time of day, and would definitly help with drizzle departures.

Agreed, was meant more in general as to still not have started renovation. UL supporters, general public still have not been given any specific update to where we stand. Lack of communication, PR campaign, etc is why attendance is where it is today. No real effort to promote, generate interest in the FB program. Still waiting on that 2021 championship banner.....

Don’t ever fool your self . . . OPM . . . Other People’s Money . . . is never a viable source for project payment . . .

Agree, it is time for something, anything, to be sent out to our community.

Bingo. For instance, the RCAF is a joke in efforts to grow the membership. Go after all new supporters big and small. Numbers have been stagnant forever. I dare say the majority of members are aging out, myself included, and won't be around much longer to contribute. Then what?

You failed to define OPM!

Don't come behind me and try to change the definition. ;)

OPM means Open Project Mentality and means what it says. Creative minds lead to innovative solutions.

With no PR from the U, innovation is still on tap.

Sorry . . .

The old Drum Brakes squeal a little, but still seem to work well around here. :)

They told Walter P Chrysler "an automatic transmission couldn't be built, so don't even try."

You are also talking about a man that raised his own money to pursue his dream. How much money are you going to give to get something that might bring in more fans? How many fans again?

How about if Bill Gates hadn't loaned Steve Jobs $174 million (with no stock, just payback) they would have gone out of busness.

Where is Apple today?

This place is filled with OPM Dreamers . . . that’s why no projects get started or completed . . .

This place is waiting for someone with that kind of money to step up . . .

Waiting.

Steve Jobs didn't go to existing Apple customers for the money, he got creative and innovated.

Absolutely not.

But we should’ve taken a page out of MLS and modeled the remodel after Euro Soccer or MLS stadiums.

It would never fly here because our 7700 fans are too traditional.

Maybe Bill didn’t want to be a monopoly. A monopoly gets so much more government interference. I may be recalling it wrong, but I believe Microsoft had already been found to be a monopoly in one aspect of their business model.

He might be tipsy too.

He invested $1billion in Heineken a couple weeks before the Bud Light controversy.

Sometimes good timing is just good fortune.

Yes, by making Internet Explorer the default browser of Windows, they were deemed to have an unfair advantage.

Without an upper deck the overhang project could save the overall project big bucks.

Starting with the student section, something similar to this place would be nice for mid day events and Louisiana rain.
