I totally agree. UA shouldn't be close to being on that list. Down town Albany is the arm pit of the world. I also feel SBU shouldn't be on that list as well. Not even close to being attractive..

Just ordered  two T Shirts on our new  Sports Gear Website.  I think this is a really great move and  for opening day  they lots to offer. No Pay Pal either for those  like myself who stay away from Pay Pal we are just like the Big Boys almost .

On June 30, Stony Brook concluded the most successful fundraising campaign in SUNY history.

Thanks to you and 47,961 friends and alumni, Stony Brook raised $630.7 million, exceeding our goal by five percent.

As a graduate of Stony Brook, you understand the importance of supporting access to excellence at your alma mater. To say The Campaign for Stony Brook has impacted our entire campus is an understatement. Beyond the remarkable philanthropic dollars it generated, The Campaign fortified our pride — and I hope yours as well — in the important work we do here every day.

I am also enormously grateful for the leadership and thoughtful guidance of the Stony Brook Foundation board and our campaign co-chairs, campus partners, and Dexter Bailey Jr. and his dedicated Advancement and Foundation teams during these past seven years.

I got it as well. Awesome, awesome news!!

I wonder what the excess money will be allocated towards though.

Stony Brook to start selling alcohol inside of the stadium. Alcohol will be sold in the grassy area on the north end zone area, next to the new concession stand. No taking alcoholic beverages back to your seats..Blue Point Brewery will be there to sell their products. Also, no reentry back into the stadium if you leave. No exceptions.

Well, fellas. SB just took away all the fun for me and my, tailgaters. We are very big into tailgating and walking back to our vehicles for a cold one or food at halftime was always a tradition for us. That will all come to an end. Looks like a lot of season ticket holders won't be renewing their tickets for next year from my batch at least.

Stony Brook University has secured $25 million to be put toward a new $100 million engineering building, according to an Aug. 16 press release.

The announcement came from State Senators John Flanagan and Kenneth LaValle, who both helped to secure part of the funding that will go toward the 100,000-square foot building.

The building will include classrooms and labs along with modern day equipment and manufacturing shop spaces.

Its great that SBU continues to expand and grow.    Money will always be an issue  so fund raising is essential every dollar  counts.  SBU is getting ready to open two new hospitals this fall that's a feat  in itself.  THE MART and Children's  Hospital  will be welcome medical additions.

I love how the university is slowly refreshing buildings and the campus along with it. New dorms have helped tremendously, there's the new Computer Science Building, this new Engineering building, lots of new building going on. We're definitely positioning ourselves well to be the flagship university of the state if we keep this up.

yes and i pointed out a few years ago- i think it was 2013, there was a construction plan.  ill find the link.  it meant to put dorms to the southwest of the track, where the sand volleyball court is, the path that leads to the Bench.  it's going to get awfully crowded there!

I graduated back in 2012 and Its pretty amazing how much the campus has improved since then. What I like the most is that Stony Brook administrators are putting a little more effort in building a more cohesive campus (design wise) in many cases using red brick to provide a similar look and feel. One of my biggest complaints about the Brook is that it has too many brutalist-era buildings that even though are very functional they lack in aesthetics, and they don't age very well. I was hoping that they would build a brand new Union from the ground up with a more appealing facade, but I guess it proved too costly.

Odd. I thought a new Union was in the works. If I recall correctly they shut the old one down a couple years ago? I haven't been as plugged into that as I probably should have been.

Actually VA... right after I made that post I looked up pictures of the Renovations for the Union. It looks like its going to be a pretty solid overhaul. I'm not sure if its a complete rebuild but its going to have a beautiful brick facade. It's actually a lot better than the first plans I saw back in 2012

WOW! Stony Brook is absolutely world-class. So proud of my Alma Mater and the administrators involved

that's great.  i didnt hear.  thanks for sharing!

PS it's getting awfully tight over there with IFCU, pritchard, the rec center, and the union.

i guess removing the bridge helps!
