Duquesne renovating AJ Palumbo Center
Penguin Nick:
I've always considered the Palumbo Center very similar to Beeghly Center. Duquesne announced plans today to completely renovate the Palumbo Center. It's not going to be very big but it will look nice. I wish YSU would completely renovate Beeghly.

You can count on the blog for the negative response to any situation. If Duquesne can do it, YSU can certainly do it. You seriously underestimate President Tressel as a fund raiser. I'm not sure Beeghly is his first funding priority, but when he gets the point it is, he'll raise the money! All you need do is look at the campus he took over, compared to the way it looks today, then review the financial statue when he took over, and where it is today, and THEN look at the endowed funds growth over the same. Our only concern should be JT's retirement!

They will never raise 45 million dollars. Just won't happen unless he gets a big whale to come in who's not connected to Youngstown. Look at the multimedia center that's being built at Stambaugh. That project was delayed almost a year and a half and that project is only 1.5 million...

Frankly I doubt Duquesne raises 45M and that's with UPMC.
Your point on the press box is valid, but at the same time how much time did it take to fund the intramural field for a 1.5M? Yes it will take a couple "whales" to under-gird the project, but don't ever count JT out! This isn't #1 right now, but when it is, we'll see. First Calhoun needs to get the program competitive and grow the crowds. That will happen, and the other projects under way will be done, and I trust in all things Tressel!
