Is it just me or does anyone else find it odd they are naming it after Marco? No doubt he was one of our greatest players but still seems odd being he is still alive and fairly young unless he was a major donor of course
+1Tango , thanks again for posting.
Submitted my Registration to attend this huge event.
I was there about 10 days ago for the Rutgers 7 on 7 Shootout and the brick is looking GREAT ! Tango, are you hearing anything about what the video board will be used for ? Maybe upcoming university events ? Other games on gameday ? Any ads to bring in some revenue ?
And before the pregame warmups, when we are not a noon game, would be nice to have broadcasts of other B1G games of interest.I had recommended to Sarah that the Video board should broadcast the pre game warmups in the Stadium .
This could be viewed by those in the Yellow and White Lots while tailgating before the game.
She said she would bring that idea forward.
You could make the case that Marco was our most recognized and awarded (citation needed) player while at Rutgers. Certainly being named consensus All-American and "one of the greatest TE to ever play for a B1G team" (albeit while we were in the Big East) is noteworthy. He is a tireless fund raiser on the AD staff and is an all round great personification of a Rutgers Man. I love that the practice field will be named after him.

Is it just me or does the fact that Towers put up a bunch of cash to have a facility named after another man speak volumes about the donor?You could make the case that Marco was our most recognized and awarded (citation needed) player while at Rutgers.

They could show the B1G Studio show or college gameday prior to noon games. Another possibility would be highlight videos from previous game. The only suggestion would be to turn off the screen 20 minutes prior to kick off so people head into the game.And before the pregame warmups, when we are not a noon game, would be nice to have broadcasts of other B1G games of interest.

The speeches by Hobbs, Ash and Towers were great. Marco teared up while giving his speech. The fields are beyond spectacular, 2 real grass and one field turf. I was at the VIP after party, Marco presented the Towers with a gift of his framed game work RU jersey. It was a spectacular evening and event.
Did I miss something or did Rutgers. I did not see Bill Austin's name listed on the All American plaque. !!!! Maybe there is another segment listing All Americans that is not shown. I sure hope so.
