To break this out from the other thread, where it is buried.

Well, isn't that lovely. If you are looking for any direction, it is not in there. Just a nice propaganda piece.

Agreed!!! This is one lesson we should have learned from the current convo and it's yellow seats

At least they did not go out of the way to paste CAA all over the court...is this a baby step in the right direction?

Why is homeboy wearing a Youngstown State shirt standing in front of the new convo? I'm guessing this means our move up involves Youngstown.

"Scheduled" to start construction 2018?

yes, and dependent upon fundraising. In other words, don't hold your breath.

there is a portion of the funding deadline set for June 2016

So this is basically two photos of the convo surrounded by 30-some odd pages of meaningless words and endless fluff?
Does anyone else hate the exterior of the convo, especially the god awful sign that is too tall? Lose the sideways letters of james Madison university. It works on the fb field but not here.
I do love the interior except what appears to be a giant wall with a JMU on it on the upper level. Why not a suite or more seats? It seems like wasted space.
We still have seats too far from the court with foldable chairs instead. Get rid of that.

With two threads there are now more words about the strategic plan than there were in the strategic plan. But seriously, why was this one created? stupid

I like a lot about the rendering of the new Convo. Certainly not any huge disappointment or anything... I imagine those gold seats are for the biggest donors just like the chariback seats between the 30's or whatever it is at Bridgeforth. I hope they're students though.

If this one wasn't created, I wouldn't have seen it. The other one is 55 pages long and I quit keeping up with it forever ago, and I'm sure there are plenty in the same boat as me.

Oh, another thing I noticed was that the video had a lot of coaches talking and everything, but no Spanky(who we know is in his last year) and no Brady. Maybe that doesn't mean anything, but maybe it does.
