Re: Cornell football 2023 - 6 months ago
George64 Trotsky I think the Crescent is gorgeous, personally. While I don’t know if I’d call the historic Crescent “gorgeous,” I do find it unique, attractive and well-suited for our campus, with more than adequate capacity for most events. It could, however, use some additional amenities and undoubtedly some structural upgrades. The best way to deal with occasional capacity shortcomingsby Ken711 - Other Sports

RichH mike1960 Local Motion 2. It's ridiculous he traveled all the way from Chicago and we have no visitor section. Some of these big high school programs consistently draw 5-15K in some nice stadiums. Schoellkopf's current condition is not acceptable. Here's an idea: Sit Together. Thus, visitor section. The fact that West Stands haven't been rebuilt is pretty embarrassing. I felt they weby Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Indoor sports facility announced - 6 months ago
Local Motion The Syracuse indoor practice facility which is the exact same dimensions as their stadium field cost $14MM in 2015. OK add $5MM for inflation and construction costs and we are at $19MM. Meanwhile, I am on the board of a charter school that just built a beautiful new basketball arena with 800 seats, new men's and women's locker rooms, new fitness center, and three new science laboby Ken711 - Other Sports
Re: Indoor sports facility announced - why $55MM? - 6 months ago
Local Motion I am very happy Cornell is finally getting a new indoor practice facility and it's something former AD Andy Noel had been working on for at least the last 15 years. It's also great that Cornell has some very generous donors. However, as someone who has spent his career in finance, I do not understand the $55MM price tag. For that price Cornell can build a new indoor practice facby Ken711 - Other Sports

If he wins one of three he'll be batting 300. LOL. And that's how the Cornell athletic PR department would spin it.

4-6 overall record and 3-4 in the Ivy League is the best Cornell can hope for, and that should get Archer fired.by Ken711 - Other Sports

Re: Cornell football 2023 - 7 months ago
billhoward If this is for all students then it needs to be on campus. One or two of the Upper Alumni fields would have to give way, or something else would have to come down. It could replace the Schoellkopf Crescent parking lot. Maybe it could go atop the Hoy parking garage (add a few pilings) with a lower level where the Schoellkopf West stands were; BU has one or two fields atop a recently buiby Ken711 - Other Sports

Al DeFlorio Harvard crushing Holy Cross mid-2nd, 21-7. Cornell will get beat easily by Harvard. And as crazy as it may sound after the Yale win, Cornell could end up 3-7 or at best 4-6. That should signal the end of the Archer era.by Ken711 - Other Sports
