Do you care whether CSU gets an on-campus stadium built?

Have you seen the concept drawings?
pretty simple. If you truly believe that then your business is probably not too successful....
LMFAO. Is this a joke?
die in a fire
And that is why we are changing everything and building the stadium.
Meanwhile every other D-I school that has built a new stadium has seen massive success
except for the ones you've quoted in trying to distinguish CSU from North Texas or whatever. You continue to be retarded.
Except they're raking in the dough in their new stadium. You continue to be retarded.
Please show me which new stadiums are raking in the dough. You don't even realize you've contradicted yourself. THis is awesome.
All of them? Naming rights? Multi use?
That's also a concern I have.
I'm also trying to figure out why the new stadium is being built larger than the existing stadium? If the idea is to have a nicer stadium on campus for the fans and students -- one that is able to be maintained more efficiently -- then why not build a 30k seat stadium that included plans for future expansion if it sells out? Or, if it doesn't sell out or if the college football landscape changes (as it might) so that we have 64-70 teams in 4-5 conferences representing the new D1, then CSU has the right-sized facility for the new dynamic.
This feels like a monument to ego and it doesn't seem to make sense.
And, OMFG, this is not some anti-CSU thing. If you'd been on this board for longer you would know that many of us have questioned whether expanding Folsom to 60k makes sense at this time. Most would rather wait until we're regularly selling out the stadium or at least have our season ticket base climb over the 30k mark from its current 25k.

:lol:
I advertise based on the number of eyeballs from my target market that will see my message and positively associate my brand with the experience they are having. Just having a shiny new building does not get me there, OMFG.
Don't buy the naming rights then. Someone else will though
So you don't actually know do you? Have you seen the #s?
your brother got all the smarts in the family didnt he
Every single one of them? Minnesota's naming rights came out to $35mil. Thats a nice payout for them in their new stadium.
And yes I actually did see the #s from the Stadium meeting of all the new stadiums
Are you really this retarded?
i love this kid calling out a board full of lawyers, entrepreneurs, doctor, oil men.
Well when I have to repeat what I say multiple times, its pretty sad.
I mean we have Darth Snow here trying to argue that schools aren't making more money in their new stadiums when thats an obvious fact
read that last sentence again
I was going to vote yes since I thought it will be cool if you guys had a stadium on campus so it would be easier for kids to get to the games. As long as 100% of the money came from donations and not a loan based on projected future revenue
. But since their AD is stupid enough to have someone like gasm there I am going with no and I hope the entire AD shuts down to keep the idiocy from spreading like a virus

I don't work in the CSU AD
if its an obvious fact, should be pretty easy to prove. I'm not arguing one way or another, I'm just asking you to show some evidence, which you have so far failed to do.
1. You have zero credibility.
2. you made a statement that seems to me to be a bit questionable.
3. You have failed to substantiate that statement.
4. Therefore, I don't believe you.
It would be interesting to see what your comparator's actual #s are. But I bet ICON doesn't want to get into that all that much detail because I bet that's when you could really pick apart their "projections"
I just posted that Minnesota got $35mil in naming rights. North Texas got $20mil.
If you don't believe that, then thats what Google is for. It's really not that hard to comprehend
links? details on those deals? See above post about why you need to substantiate your statements. They are your statements. substantiate them. How hard is it?
20 mil for how long? How much per year?
That's because you keep coming back here and throwing out statements as FACT that are really only positive opinions that have been paid for by your athletic department. If you could just post ONE LINK that is fact (like the "fact" you threw out that all new stadium are RAKING in the cash - that should be easy to find) then you might be coming from a slight position of knowing what the hell you are talking about - but alas you haven't done that. Meanwhile, there have been several links from reputable sources (OK, it is the internet so that might not stand too long) provided by the board showing you are off your rocker, yet you deny and go back to the opinion paid for by the CSU AD.
That said...
^^THIS.
I don't live there any more and don't have a dog in the tax fight. Would be cool for CSU to have the on campus stadium but other than that, I don't care. It's not like I'm going to specifically come there for a game. Meh - still don't care.
Showing we care one way or the other provides gasm continued justification for posting drivel.
