Speaking of dorms, here is a great example why you want to keep politics off your campus, and from a fan's perspective, away from your sports teams.

How about building dorms as part of the football stadium expansion? If I am not
mistaken, Florida State built dorms into their stadium which the state paid providing partial funding for the project. Didn't LSU have dorms in Tiger Stadium? Perhaps state funding for dorms could help facilitate enhancements to the stadium while filling dormitory needs.
JUST A FEW QUESTIONS/COMMENTS/POINTS:
First of all, I do NOT know the answers - and maybe they have been asked and answered already.
If so, my apologies.
Similarly, I am not even close to being "in the know" regarding all of the issues associated with the needed demo of the "Cox Communication Athletic Complex."
With these qualifiers:
1. I would presume that Cox Communication pays sponsorship fees/ naming rights to call the Athletic Complex the "Cox Communication" Athletic Complex. Is this accurate?
2. If so, I would again presume that Cox Communication would have an interest in the image/public sentiment/style/image of a building that has their name on it.
3. Therefore, it would certainly appear that Cox Communication would (or should) have an opinion as to how they want their brand and name portrayed on our campus.
4. Does anyone on this board know whether Cox Communication has been contacted to address the eyesore that has their name on it, what they could do to help the situation, and whether they are willing and able to "fix" the issue?
5. Seems like we could work with Cox Communication to have them pay for the demo AND to either pay to replace the building or build something that more respectfully and more appropriately represents their brand.
Bottom line: Almost everyone agrees the "Cox Building" is an eyesore. If I owned Cox, I would not want my brand to be associated with such a structure and would work to make the situation better (whatever that means).
I did a quick google search, and think this is what you are asking about:

BTW, spending this kind of money on these undeserving jucos has just got to be stopped.
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but came across some pics of the planetarium on FB from back in the day, when it looked grand indeed. And it seems we aren't the only ones extremely sad to see what it has become, and that it will be demolished soon. (They also had some current pics of it, but I couldn't make myself post them, lol)
