Hope we get a 24/7 webcam that chronicles the construction. I may never turn off the feed.

Speechless. The day we sit in that stadium for its opening, we'll be shedding some tears, boys.

The BOG is the last step in the process. I believe their vote is a formality since we are not asking for State money in order to build the OCS. I would say the vibe around athletics is

So just doing quick math, $340 mil cost and borrowing $200 mil so we need to raise $140 million in donations?  When does that money have to be in the bank account?  We know how long it took to raise $20 mil for the IPF.

What makes me think that is we've heard of $5 million from Vinik and another 5 from Morsani.  How many others have you read about? You think they are keeping the other $130 million all hush hush other than those 2 donations?

You'd think they would risk not having an extra 130 mill not laying around?

I mean I think they are completely incompetent , but that incompetent?

So the Foundation is putting in the rest?  It's possible I guess but I'd be surprised.

For comparison SDSU's stadium cost $310m so pretty much right where we are w/ inflation

CSU inflation adjusted is ~275

The piece of garbage down the road was built for $55M in 2007, or about $85M in today's dollars. What a joke. I'm sure they have convinced themselves it's the nicest stadium in the country. I am not sure how much the delusional natty claim cost them, probably 20 bucks in letters from Michaels.

I do believe this may be happening. Besides more people would rather donate to the OCS than an IPF. So it is looking like the OCS becomes a reality by 2026 or 2027 season

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
