Thanks!

$1500 × 5,000 seats = $7.5 Million
$2000 x 5,000 seats = $10 Million

One major GC on civic projects reportedly had a strategy: bid jobs dirt cheap, break even, and make it all up on change orders.

Last I read Cal is in a world of hurt re their athletic projects and may have to cut sports.

Great feedback. Administrative and gender equity issues supposedly cut Dobbins Stadium's budget ON HALF!

The major Stanford donor (experienced major office developer in Silicon Valley) for their new football stadium reportedly had one condition: he ran the project. Three crews, 24 hours per day (no OT?), got it done reportedly for half the cost done elsewhere, in 1 year?

Could you give us a rough guess or realistic range on adding 5-10,000 seats? $10-20 Million?

Right now, I think many would be thrilled with a new Athletic Training Facility.

Dr. Mike, I read the attendance figure requirement (14,000-15,000?) is very fungible. San Jose doesn't draw a ton of people.

I'd rather have 10-12,000 packed into AS a few times a year than 10-15,000 empty seats.

I'm told the UC soft costs are enormous, many depts will want their toll.

AggieFinn is fired up!

I always thought SLO was a great warm up for the Bison.

An upper class or grad student in environmental design or such put together a thorough study and proposal a number of years ago on how to tweak and improve AS, including some options for shade.

As far as cementing in the end zone, I'm not sure we'd gain more than we would lose. Say a thousand people sit in the grass, and cement gets us 2,000 poor-sight seats... that's not a big bump.

A double deck over the student section could add 4-8,000 seats (realistically), would add shade for the lower level, and probably would add restrooms and additional concessions. Maybe even reception boxes and great sight lines.

Dunning Pavilion?

I have a Cal friend who even made some remark like "this might be your year".

Fantastic timing. I saw the Chancellor and wife w Hawk after the game briefly, and Daniel Fells. We also educated some seniors about Plainfield Station.

Trust, Unity, and Togetherness.

Isn't this one of the students from the Aggie Pack heyday?

So how does EWU get 9,000 a game attendance when their town is only 10,000?

No offense meant, 69 ... I know George Allen was a force late in life, so was Mr. Stagg at COP/UOP.

When was the last time we won a DI division / league title?

:cheer:

Keep the grass for now. A training facility overlooking the field would be cool, a second or third level could include a banquet room / viewing balcony / deck thar could be used by many.

Here are the highlights from Idaho State, the visiting team ... none for the Ags?

It gets complicated as the Bechtel's have ties to Berkeley.

Spanos?

Cheney Roundtrip $200 via SFO ... motels at $60 night ... tiny town.

Who does Poly have.

We must have a few ... start w Riley Bechtel.

Is SLO the California town most like Davis?
