Athletic Facilities across the Nation

Northwestern? I know they have a wealthy alumni base, but wasn't sure they would open up the check books for the athletics department.
Pretty much one name: Pat Ryan
He might be the future majority owner of the Bears too once Virginia McCaskey dies. He is a minority owner now.
The current stadium could be cool, but it's a total dump. Horrible wait for restrooms and just about everything else.
The new stadium will be cool. Much needed, but the old yard is historic.
Soldier Field will probably be their permanent home and main tenant after Bears would leave?
(You'd think)
35K? That’s border line embarrassing for P5 football. And even more so when it’s not even going to be sold out.
This sounds familiar...
"The project will transform the area near the intersection of 11th and Mississippi streets with new facilities that may include a mix of conference and entertainment space, retail and other functions that drive regional economic growth and generate revenue for academic programming."
Wonder if they have the private donations secured for this already? They announced big stadium plans a few years back but never got the money. I can see the same thing happening again when KU starts racking up losses in conference and reality sets back in.

I live near CF and I would rank this near the KU announcement. I'll believe it when I see it. No one around here who cares about UNI likes that AD at all and it's very unlikely that this get's properly funded and if they do, it will get screwed up. It's honestly too bad.Panthers announced their plans for the Dome:

Been there for high school football championships it's a nice place for that. Comfortable but not too big.
