Just took a look at the camera (from yesterday)... couple of comments and a couple of questions. First off, I cannot believe how fast that has gone up. We started building our stadium last year and just got the keys. In fact, the furniture is still being moved in and there is work to be done yet. Are you sure that your brick facade will be up in two months? I have been watching your stadium go up and it looks that there is a lot to do with the towers and the seats still. Maybe the brick facade is something that could be added during the season since it is cosmetic? Just curious - it looks FANTASTIC and I know that you guys are just full of pride (like we are in Texas). Thank goodness for creative financing and student fees!
Oh - one more thing - a little birdy told me that a sponsor will be named very soon for Mean Green Stadium. Is FAU in talks with a sponsor? Honestly, I knew that we were trying to get a sponsor - but last week was the first time that I had heard there were serious talks underway. Thanks in advance for any updates. I really want to come see your new palace.

I thought it was "Where Tomorrow Begins", which reminds me of ECU's "Tomorrow Starts Here".

I dont know for certain, but I am starting to worry about it. As you said not a big deal since its cosmetic but I would hope it gets done. As to the seats, just about evrything is done except on the home side, which is what you can see from the camera. The Studenent endzone, and visitors sidelines are complete. North endzone and homeside have yet to be done. A/C should be turned on (if it isnt already) and that will allow them to really get into getting the tower done. The media is getting a tour today of the tower I belive so hopefully well have some shots of how far they have come.

Dont know when it will get done but I feel pretty confident a naming sponsor will happen soon. I know for a fact of at least 2 presentations that have gone up to the boards of major corporations, with one declining and the other one in negotiations.
FAU doesnt need naming rights to make keep it in the black, but it would sure help.
