Hell, raise the money and give it to his wife. If she's happy, CMC is happy. Therefore, I am happy.
I have no idea how much money the Sukup family donated. I'm sure it is a lot or their name wouldn't be plastered all over the SEZ. But in the end it was the Reiman family that got it started with that $25 million donation.
They care about facilities they use. You're the dense one.
The players will never step foot in, and will hardly ever even look at the pressbox. They care infinitely more about training/mentoring/nutrition facilities, practice fields, workout/recovery equipment, and the look of their uniforms.
Lolz. Yeah, they don't care about the place where they, you know play games on national TV. I've never seen a recruit post a picture to Twitter of the cafeteria.
I find it hard to believe that any recruit would change his mind about a school based solely on its football stadium press box.

I'd love to see it 1/3 or 2/3 the height running goal line to goal line. But, I don't know that it's possible without tearing down the current concession/restroom buildings. I do know that the current project under discussion (NEZ, locker room, academic, cafeteria) is much, much more important to the overall FB program (and other sports too).
Another overlooked point.
When the tower was constructed, the supports lined up just outside the back end of the concession buildings. When the concourse was expanded, the concession buildings were rebuilt much farther out. Now, the tower supports line up with the service windows.
Is the press box a first priority no but people are full of it if they don’t think the awful press box aesthetics hurts a first impression of the stadium. We finally have a big time stadium and that is great. The press box now looks incredibly out of place. The current project is more important but the press box should be done before to long. With Campbell and the momentum we are building hopefully we will have the resources for it.
Am I alone in seeing 0 problems with the aesthetics of the existing press box? Wtf is wrong with it?
Youre not the only one. Some people just arent content with the size of what they got. Now, if there is not enough room. I can help out, I can find space for reporters.
i know I have a little extra space by me if she needs to sit down.
Fixing the parking lots trumps press box IMO. The press can sit on the roof in lawn chairs for all I care. Until they start paying for seats I'm OK with the decisions thus far.
Does it look out of place? Yes.
Does it matter to anyone who can help us win games? No.
