Design firm "Populous" doing Folsom project - some of their other work

If they did that, where else would a young, aspiring Aerospace Engineer learn about the flying characteristics of a large CRT TV? For the record, L/D was not actually calculated, but observation would suggest it was pretty close to 0.
Ugh... spent too many nights in that building.
Everyone commenting on the tuscan vernacular are spot on. CU has an architectural committee that verifies designs and construction practices. They are on site at least once a week verifying that the stone work matches the campus standard, which has changed over the years. The exterior aesthetic of the building will have to largely reflect that of campus and more specifically Folsom. Now they could incorporate a more modern approach to that, which would not be a bad thing, but I would expect something similar to the C4C or the Basketball Practice Facility to be the inspiration for design.

The architecture at CU, with its consistency and classic look, really separates the campus and makes it more special. The exceptions stand out in a bad way (Will Vill, Engineering, CEC - though that was improved with the reno).
The down side: for those of us who don't have the campus building map imprinted in our brains, everything looks the same and it's damn difficult to find your way around when you can't tell one building from another. Small price to pay to not have the campus take the turn that Princeton's did.

What they did to Princeton ought to be against the law.
Just got my update e-mail from RG. Sounds like donations and new Buff Club members are increasing with his aggressive fundraising skills. If my tax returns are good, I'll throw some more $$$ his way

Watched video for the plans for Rupp arena renovation in kentucky. That video is going to create many donors.
We need to something similar, and packaging it with the Born to Lead documentary wouldnt hurt either....IF that thing ever gets out?

You have to wonder if they're digging themselves a Cal type of hole.
They aren't. A significant portion is being financed by the city. Their donations for their basketball program will be able to pay for the rest.
Hey, that's a great idea. We need to get Boulder to step up with a hundred mil!
Unfortunately Boulder doesn't like CU, like Lexington likes UK.
You mention this little factoid to a Boulderite and they tend to get very angry.
The truth hurts sometimes.
Sure -- based on my limited time following sports in the area, all that will need to happen to get the public referendum to pass is to convince the Broncos to play one game/year at Folsom.
OK, that was sarcasm, but if the Broncos would move one pre-season game each year to Folsom (do they sell out preseason too -- 60 seconds of searching didn't uncover that info?), Boulder could re-coup that money in just over 15 years: $125/ticket * 53,000 seats * 16 years will cover it. Make it a 20 year deal to account for interest. All that's left is to talk Pat Bowlen into parting with that revenue for the next 20 years and figure out how to sell beer at the game.
Even at a 50/50 split that would be huge for CU. Hell even a broncos scrimmage during training camp at $35 a ticket would be enough to get our AD out of the red, and get our facilities program moving.

Given that the Broncos sellout every game, I'm 99% sure they sell all their season ticket packages as a 10-game plan like almost every other team in this situation. Season ticket holders hate having to buy exhibition games at regular season prices but the demand is there.
Yep, every Bronco season ticket package includes both pre-season games. At full ****ing face value. :huh:

Yeah I get the complaining about it, it sucks. But it's supply and demand. One way to look at it is IMO is a non-refundable deposit to watch the Broncos regular season games every year, knowing many people don't even bother to go or just give away their tickets.

Bull****. If it's confusing and easy to get lost in, it was designed by an architect.

Rumor is that the student led group is still trying to figure out how to get the **** out of that hall of horrors.
the bathrooms were always impeccable, thanks
