Announcement about Fertitta Football Complex coming soon

[LasVegasReb]

According the journalist, Fertitta Football Complex announcement coming soon. Supposedly not about funding although I find that hard to believe. According to LVRJ article, UNLV has $17M of $26M which means they are short $3.8M to start construction (80% of cost need to donated before construction commencing).

Bigger? better? Remaining funding?

I'm hoping the state finds the remaining cash needed to finish the complex

State will only cover $5.2M but even this still needs to be repaid by donors. UNLV need $20.8M to break ground. They have $17M.

Building a cheaper complex with plans in place to expand would be sensible.

That's also catfishing if you do that to a big donor. You don't want to piss off someone who donates $10 mil.

A player's mother asked Coach Sanchez about the football complex and when they would break ground, his response to her was that they had all the money they needed pledged but had to wait for the donors to write the checks.

I heard similar thing in past. Pledged donations still need to make it to the bank.

I did see that the "naming rights" allow payment over 3 years... could that be a misunderstanding??

   More money has come in for the Fertitta Football Complex, including an anonymous donation for $1 million. #UNLVFB #RJnow
   
   
2. From what I read out of the tweet from Mark Anderson is that there have been multiple donations with one of them being anonymous for $1 million.
