Sparky Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 USC could spend up to $600 million in LA Coliseum renovation Athletic Director Pat Haden has the DLR Group plans for the renovation of the Coliseum. Construction will begin in two years. USC will keep the outer shell of the Coliseum, and they will rebuild the inside of it.

RogueDuck Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Looks like they want to try and make some money on it by trying to get an NFL team So LA could go from zero NFL stadiums to having two, if the Rams owner gets everything approved?

Damage U Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Looks like they want to try and make some money on it by trying to get an NFL team I was wondering about that. Looks like a big leap in the attendance numbers. The Coliseum holds 93+k now. What will the renovation hold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 These Coliseum renderings are from two years ago. The new DLR Group renderings will be out in a couple of months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExplorerSunDevil Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Cant stop change, I wonder if SDS will ever seat 75,000 in the future. I fear that by dwarfing the stadium(even if by like 5,000 or so seats), SDS will become less of an intimidating place to play. The more corporate a stadium feels = the less authentic it feels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 It appears that USC will not have much problem raising the $600 million for the Coliseum renovations. They once again ranked 3rd among US universities for fundraising. Only Harvard and Stanford had more success. USC also announced that it had raised $4 billion in gifts and pledges toward its ambitious campaign goal of $6 billion by June 2018. In a letter to the campus community Tuesday, USC President C.L. Max Nikias thanked donors and fundraisers but warned against complacency. “We still have $2 billion left to raise, and the final stretch of any campaign is always the most difficult,†Nikias wrote.

PAC MAN Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Cant stop change, I wonder if SDS will ever seat 75,000 in the future. I fear that by dwarfing the stadium(even if by like 5,000 or so seats), SDS will become less of an intimidating place to play. The more corporate a stadium feels = the less authentic it feels From what I have read, the reason for the reduction in seats is to charge more $ per seat.

PAC MAN Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 http://www.buffzone.com/football-cubuffs/ci_27389072/cu-begins-new-phase-facility-fundraising CU has raised $72M out of a target of $105M for the Folsom Field expansion. Once that $105M target has been hit, CU will start raising money for the renovation of Coors Events Center and Balch Fieldhouse (on the west/southwest side of Folsom Field. Not too bad raising money for a football program that has sucked hard for the last decade. This will be what Folsom Field looks like after that job is done: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 It has been 16 seasons since UCLA last won a conference title. The Bruins will never win another Pac-12 championship until they build an on-campus football stadium. Until that happens elite recruits will continue to see that UCLA does not put much importance in its football program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
