I am on the right coast. You are correct though. 1:30PST is 4:30EST, so all good. I was choking on my coffee when I read the headline and had a moment.

Is this the firm formerly known as HOK?

There are a minimum of three spots to fill: 1 in the PAC, 2 in the MWC.
Mountain West Schools Have Signed a Retention Deal
So the conference must find two more full members to join between now and 2028. At least one eligible school—a current FBS member—has expressed interest: New Mexico State. Sacramento State, an FCS member that is looking to make the jump to FBS (and which just announced funding for a new 25,000-seat football stadium) could be another option, as long as it starts its two-year FBS-transition period by next year and becomes an FBS program by the time the Mountain West’s grace period runs out.

Interesting comment from Hornets Nation twitter account who has been pretty accurate in his predictions.
There were earmarked funding for improvements. + the University have lined up some sponsorship. But the big piece, there will most likely be a co-tenant. I can’t share more than that.

One thing that concerns me is no direct mention of the track being located elsewhere. They do say it's “designed to host football, soccer, and rugby”. Which might indicate no track, but the portion about hosting “competitions” and “NCAA championships” could include track and field events.
Without a direct quote stating that the track and field events are moving to another location, we can’t rule out the possibility of the track remaining. To me and many others, that’s a big deal (not relocating the track).
I’ve read things that possibly imply it, but nothing emphatic or definitive. Have I missed something?

Sac Republic seems like the obvious “co-tenant”. I mean, who else could it be?

There will be no track
I would think so. Has to be where the serious money is coming from? I'm still unclear how it will be paid for, and per Joe Davidson who wrote in his article today, we will have to wait a few weeks to know.
=======================
Wood and Orr did not talk specifics of how much money has been raised and how much a new football stadium would cost and where exactly the finances are coming from, though they did assure that those questions will be answered in the coming weeks when renditions of the project are made public.

This is what I heard was the plan when this was getting put together -- going to build in stages and have a reduced capacity for a few years...

Wouldn't a 30K stadium (legit stadium, not erector set bleachers) be more to the point if we're trying for the Pac?

If you disagree then don’t donate to the new stadium. Oh wait. You weren’t going to anyway.

At the press conference they said "at least 25,000". Might be larger or expandable. It would make sense to partner with the Republic or at least have them as a tenant. Crazy to build two 20,000+ seat stadiums 6 miles from each other.
