Why would we want a dull, drab, useless painted Carrier Dome warehouse for 3-4 games in possible cold November weather?
That is not a vision, that is euthansia.
We have a boring 50K stadium that we tell Newton seats 45K now?
Build the 74 Genius Master Vision.
If you build it, the World will come, including World Cup Soccer.
Mayweather-Pacquio fight. WOW!

Commuters!) --and SAT scores and grades, go read the future plans of the magnificient Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas printed in the FWST not just today but in prior months after the openings.
What I posted below 4-5 years ago, is now exploding into reality.
This exact shortened post below has been on my ESPN web site for at least 5 years.
Like I keep telling you, these Jesuits are flush with hundreds of millions --($1.65B at last check)---and contrary to old forklore, they can do what they want with most of that cash load including bonds and using or asking for state and federal joint venture participation.

HERE WAS THE 74 VISION FROM CIRCA 2003- 2004:

Now updated from 5 years ago with present construction costs!
I hope to see BC build a huge re-tractable $1.2B dome on the St. John's land seating 85K and use it as the centerpiece for a new vision for the Eagles. BC is the greatest University in the Galaxy, but has no VISION!
Here is my Vision:
1--Use the huge endowment up to $1.2B and build a retractable dome, seating maybe 75K-85K, with 4 tiered huge luxury boxes, with a hinged roofed end for a baseball center field and diamond.
Retractable for clear 10-20 degree days for a nice Miami or FSU November visit. BC controls the field conditions. Maybe get some matching funds from state and city for high school championship usage.
2--Naming rights, maybe Microsoft Vista Dome, Fidelity Dome, Gooigloo $20M a year.
3--Surrounded by 6 tall high rise two person or single occupancy dorms with cool walkways to dining areas, restaurants, and merchants, a big new double 20 lane natatorium, Olympic and other sport training centers, rehabilitation centers, and maybe a new state-of-the art Sports Medicine and Trainer school!
4--Inside the dome: Luxury high tech corporation and at least 150 state-of-art teaching classroom and meeting centers and a media center palace.
5-Conventions
6-Concerts and Boxing Matches.
7-Basketball games versus Duke and UNC
8-NCAA Final Fours
9-Hockey Final Frozen Fours
10-BC graduation events
11-Speakers and big groupings and Conventions
12--Democratic and Republican National Conventions
13--Bowl Games and BCS Rotation Bowl games and Non Conference Games
14--ACC Championships
15-ADD Men's Lacrosse!
16--NCAA Track Championships.
17--NCAA Lacrosse Chamiponships.
18 --Red Sox Yankee 3 game exhibition in dome before season starts.
19--Red Sox -BC exhibitions.
20--Recreation area.
21--College mixers.
22--Rental usage for BU, Harvard, and surrounding colleges. Harvard wants a new facilty, and they have $24.6 BILLION!
Let them rent it, put in retractable grass pod fields --or the new field turf like NYG-- like Arizona with a big H!
23--Future Papal Mass.
24--Olympic Training Centers.
25--Office space rentals for BC's PR, and Administration and others!
26--Summer hotel space.
27--Huge new parking structure.
28--Tailgating and plush dining area.
29--Day care centers for BC students with kids.
30--Day office rental suites for self-employed.
31--Re-training center for BC graduates and out placement services.
32—A huge deep cavern storage are and cellar for 74 to live like the guys 20 floors below Grand Central Station for the last 30 years.
33-World Cup Scocer.
34--- NBA ALL STAR GAMES AND LAKER CELTIC GAMES!!
34--Pig Riding..they ride wild boars in Arkansas and Texas.
35--Rodeos -- Just like the Stockyards North.
36--Monster Trucks.
37--Evasngelism Crusades...Look at the new C21 magazine and the BC professor on Evangelism.
38--Olympic swimming trials!
The list keeps growing, but the ground breaking and planning never start.
BC needs the 74 Vision, or we will eventually be Puscadoria Nerdville.
Oops! I almost forgot!
Optional: National Queerbitch Championships for the new nerds with brooms. (Lord save us!)
** One of the greatest Americans that ever lived, James Riddle Hoffa!

Pointing out flaws in logic and making jokes about it is not "fagtagging". If you don't like people responding to your posts, go start your own message board. Stop ruining this one.
this is my point and has been from the beginning. all one needs to do is post an opponent position to 74 and they are a fagtagger and a homosexual.
That has never been true or I would not be 74?
i
posted two very basic and very real flaws in his logic. flaws that will not be overcome with a check anytime soon. yet, the response is more homosexual slurs and lack of coherent argument.
Flaws maybe...unsolvable...what about the parachute idea....hmmmm???
i wasn't mean, i didn't use any slurs or family insults, i just pointed out why it couldn't happen as 74 proposes and wouldn't happen for practical reasons
but, whatever. this is a message board that is going to suffer until people stop posting. it doesn't matter about what and where, all posting is now expected to stop.
yet i'm the pathetic one, right owl
You get the right trustees, some stimulus FED juice, Barney Fagola, float some new long term tax free bonds, some federall and state money for example --- 2 more T lines and stations into St. Johns and that is how build a retractable dome whether $900M or $1.5B an using state, federal and other capital sources and naming rights, besides the endowment.
That piece of land is the greatest on earth and being wasted!!!!
