That's pretty much the theme of this thread....to show how little action our administration has/is taking. Their lack of action is truly amazing (but not surprising). When Foley made his infamous comment about not getting into "an arms race" he definitely wasn't lying!

Meanwhile in Gainesville work continues on a $65M baseball stadium while the UAA continues to cry poor mouth and squeeze the fan base for donations before committing to any facility upgrades for football. Penn State did in 10 seconds what is taking us over a decade to do.

Just to add fuel I’m upgrading my facilities as well. Gonna install a his and hers sink. A jacuzzi tub and some new tiles. Expanding the shower for me and wife special time. Go on...

Theirs ours. About what you'd expect from Fooley.

A little know fact is that Fooley kissed every single drop ceiling styrofoam tile in the whole football dept. He really really loves them. And those little sticky carpet squares too.

What were you expecting? Two-piece crown molding?

They didn’t mention this, but stall 3 from the left in the bathrooms near section 63 should be back to closing all the way again by as early as next year.

yeah but unfortunately the contractor was unable to fix the leaky faucets on sinks 4, 7 and 10. AD just couldn't quite muster up the budget for it.

Key word ADA.

They are afraid of lawsuits.

Actually ETA 8-10 years?

We act like we are homeless and penniless.

Has to be if they’re adding chair backs.

It is a fluid number depending on how poor the product on the field is. Could me more could be less.

I don’t care about my comfort, put some $$$ in areas that recruits will care about.

If the Gators are winning, I’ll sit on a Boulder or Mullen’s hunchback

We built an entire baseball stadium from scratch in 18 months, but its going to take three years to screw some chairbacks on some of the existing bench seating? Par for the course.

We went with Allen screws. You know how difficult it can be. That constant battle between leverage and space. It’s exhausting.

Seats are coming from China. They'll be sitting in a container off shore for at least 18 months.

Not gonna lie, my mom and aunt received email questions about this years ago. That included the capacity reductions. Problem becomes when they want to start charging extra premium prices (to make up for lost seats) while putting in a suboptimal team on the field.
