Uhhh.......just where has Temple BOUGHT the land?? If it's close to their campus.....that area makes So. Oakland look like Sewickley Heights. And there's simply NO WAY a decent stadium can be built for $100 large in a big, eastern city rife with corruption. Gallagher has said that the numbers don't work.....and he's right. Not happening, ever. They COULD put a small place down the hill from Oakland....but infrastructure will always be a problem.. and if the state kicks in big $$$ with all the tax cuts Wolf wants.....they'd be crazy. The Philly legislators don't wield the same power as previously. If they try to balance things by tossing $$$ to Pgh, it'll be fore the CA developmant, not a venue used a few dayd/year.
WRONG. You haven't been there in the last twenty years. You can't buy a dilapidated row house near Temple for less than $200k! The Practice and Game fields behind the Basketball arena at 16th & Cecil B Moore Avenue extending northward to Diamond Street offers a great spot. Also, Temple is building a $1,000,000,000 new library on the east side of Broad Street.
Gotta do your due diligence before castigating a great plan. Sorry
