  1. OMG  I'm heartbroken.  I went back to USF in my 30's to finish up after getting laid off from my job.   I had Mike in a couple of my classes. He was such a cool dude. I would throw a football with him in the hall way before class.

  2. An RFP just went out for 120 acres to create a mixed use community with entertainment purposes, housing ECT. Construction could start as early as 2025.      I'm a big urbanest guy who is loving all the new developments in Tampa from Water Sstreet to Gas Worx, Ybor Harbor, the redevelopment of the Central City YMCA in Tampa Heights and on and on. This one by far has me most excited.    USF is really becoming a destination

  3. I know some of us have heard whispers about the redevelopment of the Claw.  I just listened to a podcast (The Tampa Bay Developer) that had Mike Kelly on.  He did mention that the Claw will be redeveloped into usage for the University at some point.   This can become a great revenue stream for the University and create that destination spot to give students and alumns that true feeling of being on a college campus.    Let the runors start on what others are hearing

    McLane stadium seats 45K, designed by same Populous and cost $266 million.....maybe $350 million in today's $.

    Populous with 10K less seating couldn't come up with something similar for $320 million? Instead, we have an FIU, FAU, UCF and any highschool in Tampa skeletal steel support structure going in.

    Kelly assured it won't bounce like UCF because it will have preformed concrete seating base (like FSU) but it sure will look like it as you walk up, around and under it. Next they will be telling us we got a great deal on green chainlink fencing and we are going full-UCF on the inside with it.

    So it will feel like FSU's Doak as you are sitting but anywhere else it will look like FAU, FIU, UCF. I thought we waited to do it right and learn from their stadiums and not do the quick and dirty?

    Remember   $40 mill or so is going into the Football/Lacross facility.
