I guess you meant to type "impatient fans" instead of "inpatient".
But maybe not.
After all, many of us may be beyond the "inpatient" stage 2 years from whenever this project starts.

2 years is not bad for completion of said project or even to begin construction but 2 plus years and still not even have an announcement is bad.
Around 3,000 - 3,500 would be the way to goFurmanFan23 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 11:42 amJust brainstorming. I hope they keep Timmons small. I would much rather have a smaller packed arena than a big arena with emty seats.
I read it to say we are a little over 20 million raised, we will need probably 15-20 million more and then Mr. Curry's 10 million will be added to the pot.apaladin wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 12:01 pmFirst thank you Mr. Curry!!! That is an awesome donation! So now JD pretty much said nothing is happening until the balance of the moneyis raised. He said more than half has been raised. Does that inckude Mr. Curry’s donation or not? Either way reading between the lines we are/were not close to raising the money needed after 2+ years which is disappointing. JD has said many times they were waiting for that one “cornerstone” donation to get things rolloing. Ok FU has that now thanks to Mr. Curry. The ball is now in Furman’s court.
That is the way I read it. Still nowhere close to even an announcement. Hope that is wrong and we are closer than we think. Would hate to think we are still 2-3 years away from even an announcement. If this is true, in 2+ years we”ve only reaised approximately 25%. You would think the university would kick in the balance after this most generous donation from Mr. Curry. The longer they wait the more expensive it gets.FU Hoopla wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 12:11 pmI read it to say we are a little over 20 million raised, we will need probably 15-20 million more and then Mr. Curry's 10 million will be added to the pot.apaladin wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 12:01 pmFirst thank you Mr. Curry!!!

So now we know we still need to come up with 15-20 million to green light the project, hopefully this gift being made public will motivate others to come forward.
Just contact the Furman University Development Office. I imagine they have better methods in mind.FU Hoopla wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 12:12 pmShould we go ahead and start a GoFundMe, with a 20 million goal![]()
