So there are two meetings tomorrow - a Facilities meeting in the morning and a Board of Trustees meeting in the afternoon. Two sources I spoke with today both said they do not anticipate talk of the football stadium being on either agenda.
However, that does not mean that the possibility of a football stadium at Temple is dead. Far from it. Too many people have told me that potential donors have been shown renderings, and I believe at least one of you has posted as much on the message boards here. Talks are most certainly progressing.
What I have been told is that you'll most likely hear word of an announcement on the field hockey/lacrosse fields at the William Penn property before you'll hear an announcement on the stadium. While it's possible that discussion of those fields could be on the agenda for tomorrow's meetings, I can't say for sure. But again, sources I trust are telling me that word of those fields will most likely come before a stadium announcement.
