Temple's destinations: bowl game, new stadium

Bob of course needs to include some incorrect facts and potshots in the article:

  • "This was surely a good week for a university that sacrificed five other sports (gymnastics, baseball, softball and indoor and outdoor track) in an effort to bolster its football program to the point where it will fuel public and trustee support for an on-campus stadium."
  • "The Pirates, like eight of the dozen teams that comprise the underrated American Athletic Conference, have an on-campus facility and an average attendance of 44,763 this season. Temple, by contrast, had 35,179 at its Tulane game and 31,372 at its game against Central Florida. There are those who will tell you that those numbers are exaggerated, but somewhere in the neighborhood of 30,000 is a magic number for the Owls because that is roughly the capacity they'd like to have for their field of dreams in North Philadelphia.
