This was well played


The rec plex was first announced as a done deal (after the court challenge by newton failed) in the fall of 96 or 97.
It only took 20 years to get it built.

they had to change that plan because all the new rex plex money had to be spent on a mod fence so you nerds could shelter in your safe space with your stuffed animals, lollipops, astroglide, and coloring books

Signature Spaces ($1 million to $3 million)
Boston College would be proud to recognize a gift at the seven-figure level by naming a significant space at the athletics field house.

Sideline $3 million

End Zone $2.5 million

What's the status of all of this? Have those discussions with city officials regarding the IPF started?

Supposedly, shovels in the ground after graduation. Will take about a year to complete. Seems to have been met with shockingly little objection.

That's Boston, but not in the neighborhood. Don't think they care much what BC does on Shea. Build it in Newton or on the Brighton Campus and it would be different.

mainly because it moves tailgating off of shea and takes away some of the ABSOLUTE HORROR that is traffic in that isolated corner of the campus for 5-6 days out of the year

Barring something crazy like a lawsuit, I will bet anything it is done in less than a year from its commencement (which I understand to be the day after graduation).

Let's hope BC can shake 50 mill out of John Fish, he can afford it. All it takes is two gifts like this to get started on a new basketball arena.

Or how about BC shakes a third of that out of John Fish to hire a decent basketball coach.

So we don't have an AD. Have a (rumored) lame duck President. And it took 15 years to build a turf field with a roof. But all of a sudden were back to building a new basketball arena for the worst P5 basketball program in the country ?

In fairness, I would have never even heard of John Fish if it wasn't for Corners.

That's because you're not local. A few years ago, he spearheaded the movement for Boston to bid on the Summer Olympics.

So his multifaceted record of failing in athletics. Phenomenal.

He is the CEO of the largest construction company in New England and was Chairman of the Board of the Fed Reserve Bank of Boston. Probably the single most powerful person in Boston.

If you do any business within 300 miles of Boston, you know who he is.
