Did you happen to read the link in post #159???? That meeting was two nights ago & the Temple President had to be escorted out of the meeting, seems like the neighbors are NOT in favor of a stadium being built, even though some in this thread said that there would not be any problem with the neighbors.
I knew the neighbors would fight it to the death. They're already up in arms over Temple trying to gentrify that area.
I have to be honest with you. Other factors aside, why would anyone want to use "Villanova might do X" as a reason not to try to make your program better? I don't get that. You're afraid of Villanova?
It's going on all around the city, not just at Temple. Developers have been scooping up entire blocks, tearing down homes people could afford and building expensive condos in their place. It's the same thing that happened to the Lower East Side in Manhattan. The locals got pushed out there, they'll get pushed out here.
Can't say I'm surprised. The derelicts that live in and around Temple in North Philly will fight this to the bitter end.
So I take it you’ll ignore the construction that’s going on right next door to the RAC?
That’s nice and all, but when most recruits see the concrete dump they’d have to play in, they’ll likely commit elsewhere. Sad because Pikiell’s program is actually heading in the right direction. He’s a good coach.
I give you credit, you never fail to embarrass yourself - without even realizing it to boot.
I have as much right to comment here as you and you’re not going to silence people who disagree with you, Mr. #1 Fan. By the way RU’s average football attendance is now lower than the pre-expansion capacity so I wouldn’t be bragging about the stadium update to Temple fans.
