My opinion leans toward the Drexel fans on this one. I really don't see the cost benefit of a new football stadium for Temple. The Linc is better and nicer than most college football stadiums in the country and a lot nicer than anything that Temple could build for $100 million. I find it ridiculous that the Eagles are charging so much rent for Temple to use the Linc. This is where the politicians need to step in and mediate with the Eagles to make it affordable for Temple to use it. Heck, I honestly think that they should be putting turf in the Linc and using it a lot more than they do.

Temple Football is what it is...a solid team in a good, but not great Division I conference. They're never going to compete for a National Championship. They're only going to compete to play in 2nd rate bowl games. That's not going to change whether they play on campus or in the Linc. Also, the Linc is easily accessible to everyone including the Temple community. The infrastructure around Temple's campus can barely handle 10,000+ crowed at the Pete, let alone 35,000+ football crowds. The area can't handle all of those people at one time.

I'm sorry if I don't take the opinion seriously of a guy who calls our basketball arena something zero Temple fans have ever called it.

If that's all you got, then I'll take it that I won this debate.

Having been at a school which recently won the NC, and a school undergoing a $300M+ renovation of its football stadium, you have no idea what you are talking about.

If you don't see the value of an on-campus football stadium, I can understand it since you're a Drexel person.
