nice to have beer/other options at Vandy Stadium Saturday night.  we should beer garden one end of our stadium (and make it a Red Coat free zone).  it definitely enhances fan experience to the point you don't mind year 11 of clock mismanagement.

Since the initial quiet phase of the campaign began in the fall, Vanderbilt has already identified $200 million toward the $300 million goal, with a $100 million commitment from the university, $90 million from anonymous donors and a $10 million lead gift from John R. Ingram, a Board of Trust member and longtime supporter of Vanderbilt Athletics. Now Vanderbilt is reaching out to the broader university community to help support the future of Vanderbilt athletics.

so the University is putting up $100m, they have another $100m in hand from donations and hope to raise another $100m.  You can argue about whether the $100m in donations in hand and the $100m yet to come are net new or not but eventually Vanderbilt will have to spend some money on facilities so I'm not convinced that this is either a bad decision or out of line with their emphasis as a University.

In this rating of the worst FBS college football stadium's Vanderbilt is #1....SJSU is #5
