No I get what you mean. Like a zoo exhibit type thing. I think you lose the mystique that surrounds Ralphie when you put her on display like any zoo animal.
Not a permanent move, Sacky is talking about only during games.
A permanent fixture in folsom, not a permanent home for Ralphie. Bring her to the big enclosure during the game, let her do her run, put her back in the enclosure, let her run, take her out to pasture.

Took some more photos yesterday, Champions Center looks pretty close.

So, I bought 2 each for the Arizona game and the USC game. It would have been helpful to know the kickoff times for all the games since it opens up 2 hours before kickoff. SC is a 7:00 Friday game, so getting there at 5:00 should be easy. I'm not sure I'd want 'em for a, say, 11:00 kickoff. I picked the Arizona game since they are my wife's alma mater.
Oops. Wrong thread, haha.

Yes. This. Thanks.
Why is this so difficult for people to understand? Honestly, did somebody actually think I was talking about keeping her full time at Folsom?
As I'm looking at the pictures of the addition, my thought is that when we do the next expansion on the West side, we should raise the level of the North stands so that they can connect to the NE and NW stands, creating a real tunnel. Raise the roof on the Dal Ward Center to mirror the height of the new additions, and have an area under the North Stands to keep Ralphie during games. That way, the North end would be fully enclosed and would look really, really cool.
Won't that be a little loud when we're winning national championships and people are jumping up and down?
Yes. Yes it will be. Very loud. That's the idea.
This exchange made me think of Hot Shots:
Admiral Benson: [while standing on top of the aircraft carrier, his cap blew off and landed in the ocean] Holy Cow! My cap blew off! Swing her round. We'll pick it up.
Officer: But, sir, we're on the mission.
Admiral Benson: Good thinking. We'll pick it up on the way back. We gotta mark the spot, though. Put Robinowitz in a life raft. Have him row in circles until we return.
Officer: It could be days.
Admiral Benson: Then put some food in the life raft, for god's sake, man. Do I have to think of everything? We'll tape his favorite shows, he won't miss anything.
I'm really looking forward to seeing it in person this upcoming season.
I've been driving by on Folsom daily this week because I had some business on campus and they put about 2/3 of the steel up for one the IPF sections (maybe a fifth of the total roof) in about 3-4 days. They may finish that section by the end of the week and start moving the crane over for the next section. For those of you that want me to do the math, it means they are on pace to put the main roof structure for the entire IPF up in about 6 weeks total.
They are moving fast and steady.
They are moving fast and steady.
Only thing is it isn't clear to me what they are doing inside. They have to complete the garage ramps and IPF floor also so, do they do a section of the frame, then the garage then go back to the next section of frame, etc? Plus, they have to build the IPF floor system which has to wait for the garage. I'm probably not being very clear. Unfortunately, the cam is pretty worthless now because we can't see the construction inside the IPF.

Not directly really related to the new construction. I don't think anyway.
Interesting ad on the jumbo tron
MusclePharm Place?

In past years, the AD has brought in potential advertisers and part of hosting them has been showing something like that on the big screen. Doesn't necessarily mean anything beyond that company being wooed as a sponsor. I guess it also means that the AD is still actively looking for a company to go the extra mile and take on the big price tag to get stadium naming rights... and I'm glad that this hasn't been abandoned. With the new facilities and stadium amenities (and reason to believe that the on-field performance will get much better), sponsoring the stadium is a much more attractive advertising opportunity.
Maybe these companies are holding their meetings in the club level of Folsom (as RG has stated is a big revenue maker for the AD) and they just added the signage as part of the package for renting out the space?
But where/what would they call MusclePharm Place?
Folsom Field at MusclePharm Place?
The Champions Center at MPP?
The MPP IPF?
That's a great question.
I think there are more sponsorship opportunities than before.
Folsom Field at .................... would still be something that could happen. I'd think the sports medicine facility could also be sponsored. Probably the IPF and Dal Ward / Champions Center, too.

With that 80s porno music playing in the background, I was expecting RG to start humping a locker, girder or whatever was on set during every scene. :lol:
