Re: New campus housing project moving forward
This looks fine to me. Those dorms have been outdated for a long time and an upgrade will be nice. As far as tailgating and game day atmosphere, from the rendering it looks like there will still be a large amount of parking spaces, they'll just be moved to where the dorms are now. Plus a parking deck. Personally I never liked stadium lot...too crowded, too slanted, harder to set up tents and grills...maybe these new lots will be more level and less chaotic. Love the green space in the middle of the dorms. My guess is this will be the new student tailgating area, but if it's not then that will be wonderful for families, plenty of space for kids to run around in. Also plenty of people tailgate in the other two parking decks, no reason to think people won't do the same in this one.

They could easily place a VIP/YC entrance plaza on the hill side of the east stands. Seems it would be a visually appealing place to tailgate and look down into the stadium while snacking on your wines and assorted cheeses.
Classic "can't make anyone happy". Several posters bitching about not having enough parking / having disjointed parking on that side of campus. I think out loud and ask how heavily that building is used and brain storm an alternative and get my head bitten off by a guy making assumptions.

Re: New campus housing project moving forward
My bad for making the assumption. I agree with you that many of the responses are infuriating because it seems that the 7 dorms and multiple acedemic buildings around the stadium lot need to play second string to their tailgate experience. I missed the sarcasm while eating lunch and the what I Misconstrued as a serious idea of taking away a rec center for Yosef club parking and facilities pushed me over the top. I apologize for being rash in my response.APPdiesel wrote: ↑Wed Jun 06, 2018 4:44 pmI'm not in Yosef's Club smart guy.BTK2000 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 06, 2018 12:13 pmVIP parking/ entrance?

Re: New campus housing project moving forward
I wasn't being sarcastic when I suggested it, I was merely asking how heavily used the Quinn is these days. I graduated in '07 and at that time the Quinn had fallen off in use (a little) because of the SRC. Since then they've built uh-TON of additional athletic facilities. Just didn't know if it's still in heavy use and if it's not, then it could be a cool spot to tailgate. Remembering the size of that building in my head...I'd guess that lot could hold a hundred cars.

Re: New campus housing project moving forward
Eh. It was more of an early morning lifting gym than the SRC and you’re less likely to find a midday pickup game there. A lot of group excercise classes are in there as well as the racquet/ handball courts and it’s where a lot of pe classes and intermural games are held. It’s still heavily used and with the expansion of on campus housing it will be needed. Could be updated for sure but I highly doubt a building would be replaced with a surface lot considering the lack of buildable space on campus. Also there haven’t been any student rec gyms build since the SRC. It’s just the SRC, the one in the UNion and Quinn.APPdiesel wrote: ↑Wed Jun 06, 2018 5:17 pmI wasn't being sarcastic when I suggested it, I was merely asking how heavily used the Quinn is these days.

Re: New campus housing project moving forward
I took 3 gym classes last semester for my senior year (I know, I know) and 2 of the 3 were held in Quinn, and the last one was snowboarding, so I’d say it’s still heavily used.APPdiesel wrote: ↑Wed Jun 06, 2018 5:17 pmI wasn't being sarcastic when I suggested it, I was merely asking how heavily used the Quinn is these days.

Re: New campus housing project moving forward
Heads up, but the county and ASU are hammering out an agreement to lease the Health Department's parking lot off Poplar Grove Extension for paid parking this season. It might be an alternative for low-level Yosef parking when the West Campus is covered in yellow machines.

What construction will be starting this year that will impact parking this season?T-Dog wrote: ↑Wed Jun 06, 2018 10:00 pmHeads up, but the county and ASU are hammering out an agreement to lease the Health Department's parking lot off Poplar Grove Extension for paid parking this season.

I thought Owens and track demo was to start after the last game and are dorms to be torn down during this season?

Re: New campus housing project moving forward
The stadium lot should not have construction issues this football season; however, there are more folks joining Yosef at the $250 - $500 levels to get parking. It would make sense to snag whatever available parking there is so that $250 - $500 Yosef members who have festival parking are assured there is a festival parking spot available somewhere. All in all, this is a great problem to have - interest in the football program + more season ticket holders + more Yosef donors + campus construction / renovation / improvement. It's great to be a Mountaineer!APPRIDE wrote: ↑Thu Jun 07, 2018 5:43 amWhat construction will be starting this year that will impact parking this season?T-Dog wrote: ↑Wed Jun 06, 2018 10:00 pmHeads up, but the county and ASU are hammering out an agreement to lease the Health Department's parking lot off Poplar Grove Extension for paid parking this season.

Re: New campus housing project moving forward
My question is why is anyone who posts on here NOT a member of the Yosef Club? Be thankful we have some people who can afford to help support athletics and if they (we) eat wine and cheese then so what!

Re: New campus housing project moving forward
gotchya, thanks! Hadn’t considered it from that angle, yes having more and more lower level donors is a good thing in which case securing the health services lot would make sense...I thought the trickle down bumps to lesser lots (due to construction at the stadium lot) was being suggested for this year...DaphneUrquhart wrote: ↑Thu Jun 07, 2018 8:05 amThe stadium lot should not have construction issues this football season; however, there are more folks joining Yosef at the $250 - $500 levels to get parking.

Re: New campus housing project moving forward
Just to be clear, you don’t have to be rich (to be my girl...) to join the Yosef Club. Every donor counts big time even if you’re just giving a hundred bucks a year. Per-capita alumni giving makes a huge impact on corporate donor-ship.
In short: if you have a smart phone on which to read Yosef’s Cabin you should be a member of the Yosef Club.

Gonzo said it best. Young alumni program is best for young grads and even if you only give $100 a year it's still a big deal. There are pay plans and all.

Re: New campus housing project moving forward
You guys don't have the right to tell people how to spend their disposable income and to suggest that they should donate in order to participate on this board is both elitist and inexcusable. That kind of mentality may fly in Chapel Hill but it doesn't need to filter to here.
