With that kind of money y'all can hire Darude to play Sandstorm live from the 50-yard line every once in a while.

Love seeing communities finally investing in derelict and rundown areas that have been neglected for generations

Did y’all not already do a ton of development around the stadium? Short of doing an Aggie-style tear down/rebuild of Willy B, what else is there?
Or based on that video, is this supposed to be some sort of integration of Willy B into the larger campus?
Or are they building a Battery style shopping area?
Just interesting that they’re soliciting this ambitious fundraising plan with little actual detail about what is hoped to be accomplished

It's about time SCar did something to improve the Cockroach. Facility is horrible....nice job to surrounding area, but the Cockroach itself....it needs an overhaul. I understand that reducing capacity will be one result of the overhaul.
Congrats on finally doing something.

Looks like the stadium will get a small facelift with the majority of the funds being used to develop a 850 acre flood plain which will cost big $
Meh.
Meh.

No great. But to be fair, it was much better before Sherman razed it...

what is hoped to be accomplished
quote:
USC filed a request for information (RFI) with the state that will explore the potential of developing over 800 acres of land located mostly adjacent to Williams-Brice and Colonial Life Arena.
South Carolina has not released specific details on what could go into the redeveloped land, but the understanding is hotels, restaurants and other businesses could be incorporated into the project on the land that’s around or near Williams-Brice Stadium.
“We don’t know exactly how it’s going to come back in an RFI, but a billion dollars — or more than a billion dollars — is a lot of money,” Tanner said Tuesday. “That’s not just football or building a new stadium. That’s other things that go along with that. ... It’s not just about redoing a stadium. That’s a component of this project.”
University officials have pointed to the redevelopments near stadiums in Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, Chicago and Atlanta as potential models for what’s possible in Columbia. The Atlanta Braves, for example, recently moved into Truist Field, which resulted in the creation of The Battery District — an area in and around the stadium that includes shops, restaurants, bars, hotels and more.

In the Biden economy it’s closer to threefiddy. But what are they going to do? Tear down the fairgrounds and build some useful?

If hating on Athens is the only requirement for being the Tillman alter, then congratulations, you've just narrowed it down to about 93% of the board.
No alters here. If I'm gonna troll, I'll just use this account. Been on here to long to mess around with some alter ego...
