I wonder if I’m the only one here who had classes in VanVoorhis? Yes, plural.
Predated Withrow. No black curtain. I still remember looking at the printout of my schedule and thinking,“what the hell is VV?”.
Let’s spend $200 million on the new quantum computing major instead.

So the new arena and demolition/cleanup of Millett will cost over 50 million dollars more than the cost of McVey Data Science and Clinical Health Sciences buildings combined.
And yes @JiveHawk I agree they need to be completely transparent on how much of this 200+ million will come the donor(s). And how Miami intends to fund the rest.
A quarter of a million would be $250million. The article says $200milion, and that also includes knocking down Millett and changes they will be making to that site, so considerably less than a quarter million.
Actually the article says over 200 million. So maybe not quite a quarter of a billion but still a substantial sum.
Meanwhile we are watching Miami play Vermont in an arena that looks like a glorified high school gym.

I mentioned in the other thread, they’re in the middle of building a new arena. The price has increased by $87mil since breaking ground. There’s still no estimated completion date.
So total cost of 154 million.
A quarter of a million would be $250,000
And I said almost a quarter billion……almost operative word

Might be so if the Ohio tribe was federally recognized. They’re not.
Never say never……
If they’re going to demolish Millett, why not put a hotel there? It would be a great location for football games (not to mention field hockey, softball, track & field, soccer, etc.). I’d like that location vs. Cook Field personally.

$35 million (over $52 million in today’s dollars)
I’m suprised that anyone is suprised by this price tag.
