Pls show me something posted here that backs up your statement that "funding...(is) solid, and it...(is) definitely happening."

Everything I've seen so far is talk about fund raising.  Where is this solid funding you are eluding to?

 

GreenEnvy woke up on a sickkkkkk one this morning.

So they've raised $1.5mm, or 0.6% of the $250mm needed?  

Where did you get that figure?  It's not in the article you linked.

 

In your link, the CSU-FresNo president said:

"The extent of our facilities upgrades is dependent upon securing the necessary funding,"  "This type of investment in Fresno State's future opens the doors to limitless opportunities for the university, on and off the court, as well as our entire region."

 

There's ZERO info in your link on how much as been raised.

 

 

 

I read it wrong.  Private donations and a 1.5M buyout from DeBoer's contract.  So maybe not 1.5M from private, but also maybe more.

And, unlike a stadium renovation that flat-lined and failed in 2018, the initial phase of the project already is paid for through a combination of private donations and the $1.5 million buyout that the athletics department received when former football coach Kalen DeBoer was hired away by Washington two years into a five-year contract.

 

 

The reason I said "think it said" is because I was referencing something else, the article was showing how they did not have the funding finalized, they were not completely in that phase yet.  This is a Master Plan early public announcement.  Just chill out for a bit, and see what the private and public are willing to commit before you get all weird.

Where are you getting your info that "...the funding is solid right now too?"

They are hoping to do a project next summer that is 0.6% of the $250mm recently announced

There has been nothing posted here in this thread that suggest they have solid funding.  Source pls...

Don't share this on Aztec Mesa because those idiots will call you a troll if you do.

At the beginning of the video shared previously about Fresno investing another $250 million on  athletics is the comment that Fresno's marketing territory runs from Bakersfield to Sacramento -- 2.4 million TV homes.  There's been some pushback on that on social media -- suggesting that we are exaggerating the size of our market..

This isn't a number that we pulled out of our marketing department's butts, however.  The speaker making the claim on the video is Bob Thompson, former President of Fox Sports.  Needless to say, he knows a thing or three about market penetration and valuation.  It's an outtake from an interview he did with Gabe Camarillo on his show Home FIeld Advantage on ESPN 1430, in Fresno.

The video is about 3 minutes long.  In case you missed it, here's the link ==>  

 

____________________________________________...

After deleting some of my posts and closing the offending SteveAztec thread, a couple of elites have been able to open it long enough to respond to me anyway.  And since I can’t respond on a closed thread, here is my response…

Other than the initial inquiry, this has never been about letting Steve post again; I doubt that he even wants to post here.  My complaint is about his treatment on this board and the failure of admins to control attacks on him – and worse, to sometimes participate in those attacks.

Steve was first banned on the SDSU board.  When he was banned, it was a sufficiently controversial that they started what became an 8 page thread on the topic to justify the decision (https://aztecmesa.proboards.com/thread/9747/steve-aztec-longer-member-board).  It is clear that Steve had support in the community and there was some criticism for the Board Administrators for having failed to “expel the dozens of people who've been taunting him.”  (And take a look at the thread that I bumped; initially it was supporters happy about Steve getting a radio show.  Then the haters arrived.)

I can’t say if Steve took it too far in response, but I will say that he denies most of various accusations and adds important missing context to others.  But I wasn’t a party to any of the events and can’t say who is in the right and who is in the wrong.  And I have to admit that if half of what has been said about him is true, depending on context, I might well have banned him too.  Or more likely I might have banned those who were taunting him.  (Steve had lost a brother-in-law to suicide and there have been a number of memes of people blowing their brains out, as well as posts blaming Steve or his sister for the suicide – and admins apparently let it go.)

I am in no position to evaluate the truth or falsity of the laundry list of claims made on this board about how Steve responded to all this.  My complaint, however, is about his treatment on this board.  I may be wrong, but his banning on this board at least appears to have been less about what he did on this board and more a carryover from the SDSU banning.  The same taunting continued – more suicide memes – apparently ignored by the admins. Utenation supposedly posted the first and it is explained away because he didn’t know about the suicide.  But was the post taken down?  Was an apology issued?   Indeed, for years, admins on this board have allowed Steve to be vilified based on little more than anecdotal hearsay.  This is a privately owned board, but it is not a private board – anyone can join.  And more than that, It’s not an anonymous board; people know who Steve.  You have a duty to protect your posters from libelous statements and unproven allegations -- especially when, having been banned themselves, they have no ability to defend themselves.

Even Retrofade (who says he’s not a mod but can post to closed threads) put up a “blowing his brains out” meme several years ago.  He knew that Steve lost his brother-in-law to suicide, and he now says that “Steve is a mentally disturbed individual”, which is libelous by the way, but excuses his meme as nothing more than being in “poor taste”.  Apparently it is okay with the board's current admins to taunt a "mentally disturbed person" because the post has never been taken down.  The poster has never been admonished.  And there has been no apology, unless you consider "he deserved it" to be an apology.

In my view, you owe Steve an apology for the treatment that you have tolerated and, in some cases, engaged in.  A former Aztec board went out of business when sued (not by Steve).  It won’t be the last one.  You need to fix this.  You need to administer your board and prevent libelous and incendiary attacks -- hearsay-- on posters.

Lol. I remember that. His mom was so mad.

Question: Why don't they use those beautiful cranes from 1911, extending down toward the field, to move the stadium to a non third world city?!?!?

…amazingly enough, I don’t think that’s anywhere near a record for him either.

Are you exposing upcoming artwork for your stadium “renovation”?  I guess one giant spray painted eyeball is one way to replace actual fans inside your stadium. Seriously, what a groundbreaking design. Attracting all those socially awkward IT people in San Jose should be easy if they’re not forced to talk to actual human beings.

Spend much less time here and set up your bake sale booth fundraiser...it's ridiculous your facilities are so run down. What's the big grand opening coming up? New windows?!?!? Lololololo....must have been a package Costco deal, max pack windows with those special LED lights y'all continue to brag about...

...now tell @Cincy and @doggystyleu2 to get their dresses on and pop more cookies and brownies in the oven...maybe you'll sell enough for gorilla glue to work on those stadium foundation cracks you were to fix in 2014.

Wait, their actual plan is to ask for a larger tax increase and for a longer time period? What makes them think that has any chance of passing when a lesser amount couldn't even gain the requisite support. Someone is really drinking the Koolaid on this. 

The difference is that this time it only needs a simple majority.

You can say anything you want we are still Wountain West champions and you are covid champions for the world ,Plus your team sucks AND YOUR BAND TOimage.png.7a4a8b36a22377455eced504ae65031c.png

 

That was horribly written. Stick to like one word replies and whatever the word is, look it up before hitting send. Maybe just do pictures? I'm sorry your brain works like that. No way to live. Maybe boil your water twice or pick extra fruit in the field for a few extra $ so you can buy bottled water.

Oh, and it's "Mountain" West, although I'd imaging since you likely pronounce it that way the spelling is confusing. Good luck wandering around.
