Will this facility still be built?

According to this article, construction on the new dorms replacing Mahoney/Pearson will begin this summer, and not conclude until 2029. @TheOriginalCane does this mean the football facility will need to wait until 2029?

UM reveals plans to demolish Mahoney-Pearson - The Miami Hurricane

UM revealed plans to replace Mahoney-Pearson Residential Colleges with a new residential complex called Gables Village. The construction is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2026 and end by mid-2029. Gables Village will be made up of two towers connected on the ground floor and include...

No, not necessarily. Different sides of campus.

But it accelerates the need to do the parking structure near Hecht, as Mahoney-Pearson has an attached parking garage (it did not exist when I lived there).

If there’s a big enough contribution from a donor or group of donors, yes. However, the focus is (rightly) NIL $$$ and improving the facilities we have.

The days of old are gone, kids don’t place a premium on the best facilities. If the NIL $$ is good and the facilities are also good, that’s what matters most.

There's no need to mislead people this way. It's possible to do both at once. Some donors are willing to make contributions for NIL, and other donors want their names on buildings.

Again, though there have been no announcements yet, IF Miami wants to go into a P2 and IF Miami wants to add more sports, then we will DEFINITELY need to build additional office and administrative space in that area.

The math is simple. When the announcements come, there will be a bunch of them.

But please stop telling people that NIL is somehow crippling UM's ability to do all the other building that we need to do.

I’m confused because that’s not what I said at all? I said that the focus is on NIL and improving the facilities we have. When we get enough donors lined up for the facility than we’ll do it. We could in theory do both, we’re just not.

Any update on the progress of the indoor?

We will absolutely do both when we need to do both.
