A pretty nice one. The owners have talked with USF about a lot of things as they want to partner with us. I know they have talked about running shuttles to and from campus to the restaurant. We will look at it as another place to do watch parties but we don't want to alienate those that have been supporting us throughout the years just because something bigger and brighter comes along.Last I hear grand opening isn't going to be until November or December but who knows. We are excited about it and look forward to having events there as well.Go Bulls!Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
