...Stanley...?
STANLEY!
Look sharp, man.
You teach there. You have a column in the New York Times. Say something.
'Florida International University, not content to see its football team lose all its games last year in front of the 9,700 fans who can fit into its bandbox stadium, now plans to build a $50-million arena so the team can lose in front of 45,000 fans.
According to Miami Today, the team began playing in Division I-A, the NCAA’s top competitive level, in 2006, and has quickly outgrown its campus stadium, which an official said was little better than “a high-school stadium.” The new arena, slated to open in 2008, will adjoin a new student center and will feature luxury boxes. Initially the stadium will accommodate 18,000 fans, but it will eventually expand to 45,000.
And by then, one hopes, the Golden Panthers would have eked out a victory beyond their fine new sports complex.'
