    This is great to hear! Hopefully the university takes him up on it.

    Would still be a ton of red tape. Since a dollar amount is involved, it will probably be treated like a bid situation.

    If they are not planning an implosion, it is a waste of money.

    Very generous, but (and I don't know anything about contracting) to my eye, it looks like it needs a good pressure washing rather than paint.

    Anyone else?

    At least he is stepping up. I assume there is tons of red tape. They will need a project number, bonds, insurance etc plus it's probably a bid law violation. If it was a 100 percent donation he probably could do it provided he had proper insurance.

    Yes, will be a bid if anything moves forward. Guy is just getting his name out there with this stunt. Notice he didn’t say free but said “half” what anyone else would charge. Any legit company knows you can’t do this for a public building.

    When fans painted parts of Cajun Field in 2002, I don't remember bidding.

    Pressure washing or painting won't make Blackham any prettier. It's just an ugly building. Original Blackham's aesthetic may have been worth salvaging (prior to its expansion renovation):

    a Triple Crown race was won at Blackham. I seed people going in to watch with mine own eyes.

    That's where the drone company can help!

    I like the idea and if it gets traction, I would love RP to start a Go Fund Me to raise the other half! I can drream!

    It needs to be demolished and a new arena built owned and operated by the university. Similar to The McCarthy Center at Gonzaga.

    Or demolish it and the barns in the back and build the new Performing arts center.
