USF03

i thought all that with the bronze bulls and such was the enhanced version of the plaza. i think they are building it at a watered down version. still nice, just not as nice. either way, hopefully they will get the enhanced version and it will still be WAY better than the old MC. what do u mean watered down version??? the enhanched version has already been approved and is going to get built...... They changed a few things in the plaza... but it's pretty much the same. The entire amount requested was approved by the Student Senate a while back. One thing they added is a bandstand near the Beef's... The thing is almost done... less then one month!

Late July or August. I haven't been hanging around the MC lately, so I don't know the latest update. I think it will open up with the start of the Fall term. They already have many parts done, painted, and ready to move stuff in. The entire project won't be finished until they finish the "enhanced plaza," which will be where the old MC sits currently. That will continue into Sp09 and maybe summer09. In the end, it will have a bandstand (amphitheater) with seating near the Beefs, water fountains with bronze bulls, and a MOTL lawn with MOTL projected on the bookstore wall. You should hit the jazz program up and get them ready for some jazz nights at the MC bandstand! Beer and wine from the beefs... haha.

Like I said on the other thread... the will have limits, but they will serve the beer and wine. The Aramark guy is rather excited about it too, he said he always dreamed of running a sports bar...

They are just getting them today... I'm sure people will post something by tonight

I know... it was out in left field... it took a lot of work for you to discuss an OCS in a band uniform thread... good work.

I think someone was making a joke about "renting" something rather then "building" something... just a guess. Was everyone else slow... or were you really retarded?

I really think Jim works for USF Planning and Zoning... anyway... New MC Webcam: http://ctr.usf.edu/renovation/webcam.html http://ctr.usf.edu/renovation/webcam2.html Poured concrete already and the we have parts (staircases, etc) going up now!

a lot better than those old things

I don't know the exact fundings source... but I doubt it was Athletics money... BUT, you never know...

From the HOT Director:

Well, none the less, we know people are looking at it now...

BTW: I'm about 90% sure that "institutional investors" means a big time investment company (like the company that owns UMall already). But, none the less, it's one way I could spin it to be USF.

Jan 31 2007 http://www.glimcher.com/pages/press/index.jsp Now, this could just be me wanting USF to buy this place... but does INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS mean a big time investor or an INSTITUTION like USF, or our backers (foundation). Dr. Genshaft DID say that we will be raising up to a billion in our fundraising campaign, and stated their will be good surprises. Could this purchase be part of it?
