Temple Puts On Campus Stadium Feasibility Study On Hold

This is one of the most moronic things I've ever seen.

Close... Stadium Stompers set strategy, call for an end to the Board of Trustees - The Temple News

>>One of their demands is for the university to be “democratically controlled” by community residents, students and university workers. The organization also wants the university to yield the $126 million that would be spent on the stadium to the community.<<

Temple has no public money?

They are a state supported university. If this goes through, some public money will definitely be spent on the project. I'm sure Philly's City Council will find a way to muck it up. I'm just a skeptic about all this actually taking place. I'm shocked that the Liacouras Center got built.

$20m from State.

This is one of the most moronic things I've ever seen.

Welcome to Philly! Seriously... the community I lived in a few years back lost a grant $250,000 for a new high school baseball stadium because they did the same BS on a smaller scale.

Good for them and I really hope it happens. They deserve it. College football is always more fun when you have the games on campus and hopefully it helps drive attendance and interest in the team for them as well.
