The whole Turning Stone/SU/casino ‘thing’ just doesn’t seem right to me.
Doe anyone know if UNLV has any relationships with the 1001 casinos in Vegas.

With apologies to Black Sabbath
‘We Sold Our Soul for the Casino’

There’s so many ultra-VIP’s in this area. I think they current hang out at the Amber Inn in Otisco Valley. (God I hope this fails BEYOND the known limits of failure.)

Also, if you type Club-44, it’s really Club-$$. Just a shift key away.

I’m anticipating ‘opulently’ to be HCDM’s next buzzword… “I thought our game plan was ‘opulently designed’ we just didn’t have the ‘extraordinary atmosphere’ for our players to execute.”

In all seriousness, I worked for a company with club seats to Philadelphia Eagles games, which included access to a level that sounds similar to this: luxury foods, better drinks, etc… it was actually great. When it was raining and cold and I was too much of a wuss to enjoy “northeastern football” outdoors, I went inside, had a latte and watched the game on a plasma tv.

Like everything Syracuse is NOT and everything DOC GROSS wants it to be. Needless to say, I’m not fan.

And let’s not kid ourselves, turning stone isn’t exactly the hard rock casino in vegas…….

Gross can retire 44 so it’s never used in its proper football context, yet he can bastardize the hell out the number to make a buck with a local casino. What an ass clown

The next phases are:

1) Transplanting the Turning Stone Tower next to the Carrier Dome and attaching it to the facility

2) Transplanting the Carousel Center next to the Carrier Dome and attaching it to the facility

3) Ordering a statue, about the size of the statue of liberty, of DOCTOR Gross handing Ernie Davis the Heisman and putting it on a pedestal that overlooks the top of the Dome

4) Cutting out the top of the dome so that Ernie and DOCTOR can shine down as the two most important beacons of hope in Syracuse history, overseeing the next century of greatness

5) Renaming the student section the “USC East Zone sponsored by Lookers”

I can only get MS Paint on my work laptop, but Sean will send a $5 Panera Gift Card to the first person who puts together the best image of this!

But that’s probably because I’m from Southeastern CT… Literally EVERYTHING in this state is “Mohegan Sun” this, “Foxwoods” that. Hell, our WNBA Team (the “Connecticut Sun”) is a walking, dribbling, pick-and-roll-ing ad for Mohegan Sun.

You get used to it…

take on Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan- the Ultra-VIP members of the Big Ten- in the new Turning Stone Club Four! Games will be played on the Nike Ernie Davis Legends Field in front of a captive audience on the Big Ten Network.

I don’t really find casinos any more sketchy than many of the big banks/corporations/etc. They may not fit in with sports per say because of the negative connotation that comes with gambling, but it’s not like it’s illegal for students to go there or anything. I mean hell, we sell beer at the Carrier Dome and I don’t hear anyone complaining. Most people I meet can’t believe that fact since we have one of the very few college stadiums where alcohol is sold.

and i kind of like that idea. but to charge 1500 is just insane. insane!! this is syracuse we’re talking about, central new york. how long until yearly membership fee is non-existent and its 20 dollars at the door to get in??

I’m getting tired of my comments being forced to mingle with this riff-raff.

But Club four-four isn’t about food or cocktails. It’s about Orange sports and events, and mostly about being there.

Ha

Where 5$ blackjack on saturday nights happens

That place is low rent

Thanks.

I actually asked one of the ushers at the Colgate game what was going on because I wanted to show a friend who was visiting from out of town the National Championship trophy, but it was gone. It was all boarded up. The usher said Turning Stone was building a restaurant. I thought maybe that would be pretty cool. I didn’t realize it was just another place in the Dome I’d have to buy my way into.

I’m most curious to see how/where they are building this. If it’s where the trophy used to be, the Orange shopp is on the right and the Dome management offices are on the left. Unless Pat Campbell agreed to have his office turned into a “Manhattan” style lounge how did they do this? Did they remove a whole bunch of concrete in that section? We need someone to get pictures… also what about the Ernie Davis room on the other side of the Dome and the super luxury boxes they just renovated on the second level. Can’t Dr. Gross work on improving the game settings for the regular fans and not his super rich friends

It’s pronounced “forty-four”. If you’re going to try being a clever prat, why not call it “four and forty” or “4 times 11” or “88 divided by 2”. “four-four”?! You stupid prick, just stop screwing up OUR tradition. The nice thing about tradition is that it markets itself, you don’t have to go and f’ing jazz it up with cutsie bullshit. Got it?

10-4, good buddy.
