Supplier presentations today, wonder if we hear anything. Imagine fine details of the proposals won't leak, but maybe details on who all made proposals?

I've got a friend on the inside, providing a proposal..

So Bottom Line, we plan to award this to somebody August 19th and in 1-2 years we'll have drawings and by 2026 we'll have a stadium?

why 1 to 2 years for drawings?

I don't think it will. This article was from after the June 15th meeting when we had the BOT meeting saying we are issuing the invitation to negotiate. Based on this comment I pulled out I think these design firm proposals include renderings, so the BOT and athletic department knows exactly what they are getting when deciding on a firm. So I'd assume sometime between August 19 (when we pick a firm) and September 6th (when the BOT approves) we see the renderings.

New renderings of an on-campus stadium would come after the 30-45 days required to get the ITN issued. Kelly has a timeline of early fall in mind to have a design team picked and ready to go, which would also be the timetable for any new renderings, so that way the USF community and the Board of Trustees have an accurate depiction of what a stadium would truly look like.

Design stage of USF's on-campus stadium dawns

Called an "aggressive timeline," the hope to open the program's OCS in Fall 2026 becomes increasingly realistic.

I have a family member on the inside as well, he will not be providing a proposal. However he should be out in 2024 with good behavior.

Let's go!  We have to make up for over a decade of inaction.

Plain aluminum are cheaper, FWIW.

For $300 million they can slap a coat of paint or two on there.
