NEZ is phase 2. Increased capacity and bigger video, centered over the stands.

I think you should be more embarrassed that you were watching an EMU game. :kisswink:

:lol: yeah, it was only in passing, I just happened to be there at the right time. Actually I now remember that I was at a bar in DC on my way to a Caps game last week.

If we could trick the New Jersey transplants into coming to games, we could sell out a 100,000 seat stadium. We should offer free pizza and money laundering services.

85,000 Flaggies? Imagine the smell and it would take too much degreaser on Sunday to clean the stadium.

But that's like 2 or 3 Chris Christie's, which we already have experience dealing with...

Didn't we already go through this exercise around 7 or 8 years ago when UD released plans & renderings for a new stadium & athletic support facility? I believe it was when JMU was building their new stadium and UD was like "me too, me too!". So are these the same plans or new ones? Is it actually going to happen this time?

Right. We're not taxing our students to pay for it. Ours is being done the old fashioned way: with donations. I believe yours was $60M with fundraising of less than $10M and sticking the students with the rest?

Ours will be $60M of donations. That's why it's a little tougher for us.

And you wonder why everyone considers you a douche.

I know, right? They just had to put a four-goose flock in the sky. Bastards!

But on a serious note, they decided to add a bench to memorialize each season ticket holder lost the past six seasons. It's a nice gesture. As each fan comes back, they will remove a bench and add a parking space back. Pretty clever if you ask me.

A new development revealed by our AD in the post-game presser last night: the entire home stands will be torn down and rebuilt.

27 minute mark: https://www.facebook.com/DelawareBlueHe ... 603298203/

Also, $48M of the $60M needed was raised in two days.

That’s what happens when you build your campus on the side of a mountain (MT translation: hill).
