    PA owns that land IIRC. That'll be developed when/if Jumptown gets started.

    Here's a perfect example as to why I can't stand the PDC -- every proposal that comes along they find away to immediately shorten and simplify the design. This is why every building is a slab-esque design.

    It's going to be like a (modern interpretation) Memorial Coliseum in the middle of downtown.

    Fez, I'm assuming you mean the "Stott" Center, not "Scott"?

    Not to get all anal on you, I just don't recall the "Scott Center", and this is the first time I'm hearing about this renovation, so I haven't done proper research.

    Greg Oden, after spending four years boning half the PSU students, has donated $10 million of his fortune as a gift.

    If the actual building looks anything like the renderings it's going one of the most unique looking College basketball arenas in the country.

    Fez, cool, thought it was Stott. But I skipped so much class, I was thinking maybe I just never saw the Scott Center.
