I think it promises the same Powerful Placebo Effect that wearing my lucky underwear to games has helped us win so many championships over the years!

Not trying to shut down discussion here at all. But there will always be stadium detractors. @puc86 is the loyal opposition on that issue, but he's also very much in the minority, as evidenced by the actions of our administration and Board of Trustees (people who matter), as well as most of our fans.

It'll never be shut down as long as some keep giving him ammo pertaining to the stadium's importance in the whole conference realignment thing. There's little, if anything, out there (that I know of) that gives support to that importance and puc knows it. It definitely won't hurt and may help in some regards, but we're building one because we finally can, and it's time. College football is meant to be played on campus.

Funny, because I'm a lawyer who's been to literally dozens of board meetings in my career. I think I've been to enough. 

Then you should fully appreciate that board approval sounds like a better endorsement than it typically is (from a good idea perspective).

I don’t know why it infuriates me but in all fairness if it wasn’t that I’m sure it would be something else. Getting out of the conference is all I care about and I wished this actually helped I just can’t see any conceivable way that it actually does. If a conference actually said build a stadium and you are in, I’d be in favor of even building a backup one. This unfortunately looks like the stadium of people looking to be in the aac forever.

And you should appreciate that voting to spend money is about as good an endorsement for an idea as you'll ever get from anyone, including from board members.

Board members love to say yes, they love to spend money, they love any big idea, they love anything anyone else in the room loves and they love anything that they think will give them a legacy. If they were spending their money **** straight that’s an endorsement but it’s just

They've been working on those for weeks. I guess this was just a rubber stamp ...

It basically all comes down to this.  The feel is going to be completely different.  Nostalgia off the charts...
