Sooooo, about that stadium project?

[18IsTheMan]

It was 2/7/2023 when Ray dropped the absolute bombshell that the University had filed a request for information. Per the stadium project website (https://gamecocksonline.com/stadiumproject/) they were supposed to get information back from the RFI last March. Also says the website will be updated as new information is released, but it doesn't appear that there have been updates at all (obviously as the most recent info says the response to the RFI was due last March).

There was some news last July about updates to WB itself, but haven't heard a peep about the land development since Ray shocked the world last February.

USC should concentrate on Assembly street. Get rid of the old baseball stadium. Just build apartment buildings and that would look 100% better than the old buildings there now.

Bought the land between Bluff Rd and The Congaree River. Plans are for a golf course, rent the land out to retailers, restaurants, bars, and lodging. These leases are supposed to finance the changes coming to WB. Might be rather drastic from what I heard?

I would take reduced capacity if it meant all the seats had backs and a defined space like in the club areas.

Assembly from Blossom to George Rogers has been an eyesore my entire live. It's a damn shame the city and university have failed to see the importance and potential of that corridor

This reeked of poorly thought out and over-the-skis from the press conference.

No evidence that it's anything other than ill-conceived and poorly managed to this point.

Yeah, it’s a been a year since the announcement and there hasn’t been the slightest peep. Not even on the RFI that was supposed to be back in a month.

What a dumb thing to do.

Likely financial conditions changed (interest rates, NIL, conference changes, and so on) the timing and dynamics of such a large project. It may never happen if it was actually going to happen.

Just so odd to make such a hoopla out of an announcement about an idea that isn't even half baked.
