Stadium progress

There are some people here that actually understand the reality of the situation. Unless UM has a T Boone Pickens or a Paul Allen out there ready to seed a project with hundreds of millions of dollars, it will NEVER happen.

Lemonis is a total joke because he knows that's it's impossible, he was just pimping for publicity. If he wasn't, he'd take that million dollars he pledged and donate it to the IPF. Where is he?

Not to even address Lemonis' motives but I bet he wasn't even asked to contribute to the IPF. I bet that thing is getting funded through a few receptions with Richt with a handful of locals where he had to get the ball rolling by pledging his own cash. I haven't noticed any public drives to specifically fund it.

Nonetheless, most schools don't have sole benefactors on the T Boone level that just want to be athletic sugar daddies. The school would have to initiate a fundraising campaign and that obviously isn't happening anytime soon. The only way I personally can envision it is if Richt were to be wildly successful, the program be credited with being a huge moneymaker by multiple media/financial outlets and then Richt demands an effort by the school to build something. Even then you'd still have to hope that Frenk and the BoT would want to try to capitalize even more on any success. Lil Donna seemed mighty comfortable just sitting back and collecting our conference handout....errrr....share of the pie.

The main thing to show woul be ROI out of an almost half billion dollar investment. That's why a huge gift, in the neighborhood of hundreds of millions of dollars, is the only way this happens.

There are many benefactors willing to give money for research and academics (as evidenced by the billion+ Momentum campaigns), but not to something they would consider superfluous like a stadium.

I would Not be surprised to see Stuart Miller, Micky Arison, Schwartz each donate millions. But I really don't think it would take a 100M donation either. I think we could build a stadium for around 300-400M. Miller has donated 100's of millions here. Schwartz just built the academic center, and Arison donated to the Momentum2 campaign and is a billionare. And I'm sure you can get quite a bit of football players currently in the NFL to donate about a Mill each, like an Allen Hurns, Lamar Miller, Allen Bailey, TBenjamin, EFlowers, Jimmy Graham, you know, guys that have recently signed million dollar deals.

I honestly believe that if some drive was started to build a stadium, and could ONLY be used to fund a football stadium, I think it would certainly take some time, but would eventually get done, especially if we sell naming rights.
 
you have to admit this looks cool

I don't think so. Not with the people you mentioned. Not for a stadium that would be used 6 times a year. Not when you would need in the neighborhood of $300 million at the very least.

I'd like to see the financials on the BUC. It seemed like for a while they were actually using it for concerts, MMA fights, etc. I don't really see a mid-sized stadium attracting that many outside events though. I guess you could try to steal the concerts that are held at that hellhole glorified state fair grounds posing as an "amphitheater" in West Palm but that slate probably relies on a heavier contingent of rednecks in that vicinity.

The thing would be it wouldn't be used for just football....that's how it has to be presented, and offered up. If the drive is put out there, the stadium can happen. Just like Richt is pushing for the IPF, which will happen...if we push for a stadium, it will happen.

Uh no. Having a **** of a time getting the IPF funded, even with the head coach throwing in $1 million. They probably just need maybe another $15 million or less, and as of now they don't have it. It may not even be announced until next year.

You're in Lala land if you think we can get a stadium built through finance campaign. Like I said before. We need a major contributor, to throw in a couple of hundred million at least. Ain't happening..

Right, because the University of Miami is the only small private school in the country that can't raise enough funds to build its football stadium.

If SLS wanted the Canes out, you really believe the University would just fold the program? Please!

Let me ask, what has this University pushed for that has been declined or not met w/ open arms?

Thank you!
 
Again, pay attention to the IPF, which is a much higher priority right now. Have we announced it yet? Do we have the money yet?

That give you a clue?
 
If Pablo Escobar was still alive we'd have that IPF and be halfway to funding a new stadium. Miami was very very good to him.
