ESPN: Miami to unveil plans for $30 million football

[AllAboutTheUNotAboutU]

I'm confused by the renderings relative to the existing fields

Everything in that picture will be covered

 

[PCBcanefan]

If you build it, they will come.....

 

[Tad Footeball]

So $9mil more to go before we break ground? I'm not one to allocate other people's money but there's a certain big time Hollywood star that's an alum that could roll up in an excavator with this in cash while promoting his next project. Yeah, I'm talking to you......Steven Bauer.

I guess the only part I'm unsure about is whether or not it will be a full length field inside the IPF like they've promised, since the exixsting turf field is only like 80 yards. Makes me wonder if they could fit a field going east-west.

Did The Rock donate? If not he sure could afford it

 

[nycane]

Richt donates 1 million of his own. golden tried to shake us down twice during ncaa. lol

 

[bshaw28]

Good PR move by announcing it Friday. Keeps Miami football in the news during the bye week.

I don't know. I doubt we get one big donation for the remainder though as when you venture toward the $10 mil mark most people probably want their name on a building. I think Mr. Fontainebleau has locked that up.

 

[Hurracanes]

Stars are lining up.

 

[406Cane]

That's legit. This program is finally going in a great direction after a decade plus of moribund misery.

 

[Firesite]

Im guessing it will cover up mostly like this:

 

[BoroCane83]

I think they'll take part of the Field portion to make a full 100 Yrd Indoor Field.

 

[The Franchise]

If it's 80 yards don't even bother breaking ground because we won't be able to practice our 80+ yard TD passes or 80+ yard FGs.

 

[Tad Footeball]

Gotta love Rick taking control of all aspects of this program. From the unis to sketching what he wanted this facility to be. The dude speaks soft in public but is obviously the boss behind closed doors. The last clown pretended to be an alpha in public while he obviously was just along for the ride and in over his head behind closed doors. Sure, this all has to translate to results on the scoreboard but at least we know that we're getting the mindset right now.

Btw, remember the narrative that he was burned out?

Rick was burned out from being an overpaid cheerleader. Now that he's back doing what he loves at his real home he's totally invigorated.

Exactly. Our model of having an AD that's willing to be neutered is much more conducive to his style and energy levels than UGA's model of having an AD that must consider himself a version of an overbearing NFL GM.

I really hope so. It would be dumb not to make it a full 100 yards.

 

[JHallCanes]

Richt donating $1 million still blows my mind. Guy is awesome.

Article says it's staying at 80 yards, with a "spill over" portion, whatever that means.
