    And for some reason, that seems to be important to some people like you.

    Why on earth would "everyone else" laugh at someone having their own game day hotel inside their own athletic facility?

    If you want us to "out-recruit" some of the big boys, you can't fear being different. I'm sure people like you laughed at Boise's "blue field" too......but look at Boise now.:icon_wink:

    Point is, "mid majors" like us can benefit from being different. LA Tech doesn't have the resources to "out spend" the big boys. You can't simply do the same things they do --but do them worse-- and still expect to catch 'em. You have to be different.

    LA Tech could be the first in the country to do something like that.

    I kind of like the idea.

    Me too! (if you must do it at all). But to respond to the post saying that the hotel (or the campus hotel for that matter) is a way to maintain a routine, nothing does that better than sleeping in your bed surrounded by your own "stuff." Sleeping in a hotel room is never routine even if you sleep there five or six times a season.

    Lots of potential with that: http://www.thecookhotel.com/

    I think this is the kind of "financial credibility" crap Dwayne warned us about. Okay.......here we go......

    These apparent shenanigans are worrisome. Is there a way for us to know what is actually in the contract?

    I trust BVD to know what's in the contract.

    I do as well. I also know of occurrences where a party that agreed to a contract decided they didn't like it costing everyone a lot of money. I, as we all would, just would hate to see DFM's warnings come to reality.

    I'm curious, what is it about these Grambling game threads that disturb you?

    I attended a conference at this facility and it is first class. It is a great opportunity to expose businessmen and businesswomen to your school and what all you have to offer. I think that an on campus hotel at Tech is a great idea. I don't know anything about any of the old dorms at Tech, so I don't know if any would be good candidates for refurbishing, but this is something that could pay for itself over the long haul.

    I have gone to a conference at the cook hotel and also the UGA hotel http://www.georgiacenter.uga.edu/hotel/index.phtml while ive been at Tech. Even ULL has a hotel across from the cajun dome which is where the conference is where we are going this year. It seems to be the thing to do these days.

    Being around your own stuff is much better. I can't understand how sleeping in a different bed is restful. I spend one night on a hotel bed and it takes the next 2 days to feel right again, and I am only 28.
