I think our leaders are the best! They have SDSU set on a course for continued growth & success. Yeah, for our team!!! Sarcasm is difficult to pull off in a meaningful way. Just see an expert: " Thrift, thrift, Horatio! The funeral bak’d meats did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables.”
(Hamlet Act 1 Scene 2) And if you didn't intend sarcasm, it's quite laughable---not in a good way.

You must not follow the football program closely. Everyone expected attendance to fall before the season even started once the home slate and conference schedule was released. I think AFA was the only home game against a team with a winning record. I've been to BB game "sellouts" when we play BB teams of similar quality. You know you sourpusses should look at how popular we are with CBS Sports. Lost in all the belly aching is the reality that our tv market is valued very highly among the non-P5's. This is why so many of our games end up on CBS sports (they get first pick, before ESPN). ". How does your reflection alter or address, the concerns raised? Our football program is on an unsteady, meandering course, sired and promulgated, by our questionable "leaders".You know that's BS, right? Just because you have a negative opinion of our program and life in general doesn't mean we all are filled with negativity. Many who actually follow & participate in the program see the growth & the direction, and are actually excited by our accomplishments and future.
But go ahead & go kick your dog again - just to cheer you up.

Have you been to any of the MWC football "on campus" stadiums? Not much to brag about...even against our Krusty Qualcomm. This CSU new stadium looks nice. But in comparison to the rest of big time college football i doubt it is a player. But definitely will be the best in conference. Kudos to them for stepping up their game. Been to New Mexico... feels like a community college. If I remember most of the seats were concrete but we sat behind the end zone which had metal bleachers you'd find at a high school baseball field.

As I said, when evidence on the ground, matches their miserable attempt to "rally" the fans with Top-25 palaver, then I'll agree with you. So far, there is nothing but weak sauce from this group of pretenders. And why you would make egregious and fallacious assumptions about my life and personality, is more of a reflection on your character, than mine. I was talking about our program's operation and you decided to make it personal. Interesting.

I just thought I'd balance you out some. Of course, I don't use as big of words or anything, nor do I post as often - just making a comment which represents a view which differs from yours. Neither of our comments have any substance, both just opinions. Which, I believe, are allowed here, yes?

There is literally no where to realistically put an on-campus stadium in on the Mesa, let alone finance it.

It has been well established that there are several places that a stadium could be built on campus. As I said in another thread, if we get the Mission Valley site for a west campus I'd like to se us level some current campus buildings for a stadium site, if necessary, and replace those buildings with buildings in MV. Financing will be the difficult part.

You're either negative or wanting to be perceived as such.

You're either negative or wanting to be perceived as such. You are dwelling in the fallacy of assuming that the program is moving in a positive direction. You've obviously established your preferred standards and found this group fulfilling. I've observed them to be sorely deficient, in addition to having substandard aspirations and passion for the football program. Thus, my position is negative ONLY to those with your presets, and perhaps your lower level of expectations.

I'm comfortable with my expectation level and evaluation of where we are vs. those. I'm also pleased to be involved on a regular basis with the program, and the information provided. The thing is, when you have a negative outlook you can't see any differently, so no way to have a discussion with you to the contrary. We could go 9-3 next year and you'll still bitch and complain and not take a realistic and reasonable look at the program.

As I understand the language he uses, probable litigation and the lengthy delay to permitting would make it "less than ideal" and "other options should be exhausted" before pursuing that particular plan -- not exactly the "no go" you seemed to have heard.

Does an on-campus stadium that seats 35-40k really impress a Big12? They are used to 85k+ stadiums aren't they?....and fill them to bootWow, you have no idea what you're talking about...that seems to happen a lot with those on here who keep shooting down SDSU doing it's own thing when discussing a FB stadium. Check how many B12 schools currently even have a stadium as big as our current one for your answer. You must not read what I write. I am 110% in favor of a new SDSU football stadium. Someone in the forum mentioned that a stadium helps get a P5 invite. I say it does indirectly and my statement was related to what size stadium would indeed impress a P5 conference. I don't care if the new stadium is 25k or 45k or 60k. I want to see a new Aztec Football Stadiu happen. The current stadium is too big to create a gameday experience worthy of being called College Football. That is a fact. Unless another #28 comes around, SDSU will not come close to filling 70k+ week in week out. As for the Big12, it looks like Baylor and TCU have the smallest stadiums at 45k. They also happen to be the 2 smallest schools in terms of enrollment at 16k and 9k respectively. It would probably be best to reserve judgement of others and actually use that lump on your shoulders for more than a hat rack.

All of us who have our opinions about how important and where the stadium should be , size , .... . about 100 pages if you start adding up all the posts. Would be nice to actually hear from the recruits , players and coaches . what they think of the stadium at the Q ,old and if newer one is built or on campus facilities compared to others in the MW , how important it is to recruiting , what they would like to see and importance of certain things . Key to me are the players/recruits . They produce the W's. Or if they can not talk about it maybe there are some former Aztecs that could give us an opinion that really matters . not the rest of us who fill the 100 or so pages ,every time any post comes up about a facility . Bottom line it is the players on the field . Not those of us in the stands or sidelines ( computers posts)

You might want to read the article. The foundation is purchasing the land to sell to UNLV. The university has no money and no idea how they will get the money. If the land is purchased it will be resold to some casino entity and UNLV will make some $$ on the transaction.
