It will greatly improve the campus atmosphere and game day atmosphere, and improve the student engagement and develop more school loyalty. The area around campus will always be the hood and I am ok with that, my loyalty is to the school and not to suitcase city. This is a perfect summary of what will happen.

The neighborhood becomes transient because neither of those two groups stay long in one place. This is a problem all over, unless you have a school that is surrounded by an established affluent area. The OCS won’t change the area, but it will make student life better, with football on campus as well as other events. There might be some restaurants around it but they will really be catering to students and those attending games, so more likely fast food or chain bar food restaurants.

The place is littered with section 8 and until they start pulling permits and displacing residents it will never recover. The stadium could help some but the area for the most part is ass so I say embrace the hood and name the stadium suitcase stadium. I did not think the Temple Terrace side of the campus was bad. I lived there and it was ok. Now when I lived on the University Mall side, Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A far better effect than what restaurants would accomplish with low income jobs. ASU leases campus property to roll in the dough. They do things I don’t agree with like move their baseball team off campus (enticing revenue opps to tear down stadium) and close down their on-campus golf course but it’s all to make more money. Big money. Higher earnings, higher rents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know how pervasive it is but looks different driving around that area. The plan is to make it Rithm@Uptown.
