Temple Puts On Campus Stadium Feasibility Study On Hold

[TouchdownHusky]

For their sake, I hope they can get this worked out and get the stadium on campus built. There's just something special about playing football on a college campus in the fall. There are definitely a lot of hurdles they need to get over but it would be really cool to see Temple have a place to call their own on their campus.

What would UConn know about the specialness of playing football on campus - its been a while.

The Rent is a great facility built in an excellent location but the wrong place. It's what happens when politicians make decisions. Temple's burden is it has no public money, but the freedom to choose the right place.

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.

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

>>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.<<

$20m from State.

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.
