Fast Break Questions for the Board

Couple of quick 2015-16 Schedule Questions for the board. My apologies if I missed these in other posts during the busy summer.

1) Has the decision been made on 3 or more WFC games this season given the Eastern Regional in Philly and our eligibility.
2) Understanding NHL, NBA, concerts factor into scheduling, when is the anticipated date for final schedule release?
3) Eric mentioned that the All-Access breakfast and practice is a possibility this season but scheduling was an issue. Any update? The event was outstanding last year. Worthy of an additional athletic fund donation in support of the breakfast, practice and football game.

Board input much appreciated - thanks!

Follow up on Davis Center from other thread

Couldn't remember where it came up.
Phase 1 upgrades to the Davis Center will be completed on 01 September.
Highlights include:
Main stairwell re-do to include a three-floor, living history of Villanova basketball.
Office lobby spruce up including expansion of the trophy case
Cinema revamp - taking it from being a film room to multi-use for meetings, educational resource, coaching and film-room.
Paul Arizin trophy case - to house memorabilia donated to the school by the Arizin family.
Phase 2 begins in the spring - I believe the mods for a training/dining facility come with that. Feel free to call the school and donate $ to help out!

Comedians Performing in Football Stadiums

This Sunday, Kevin Hart is performing a sold-out show at Lincoln Financial Field.

Has anyone ever seen a comedian in such a large venue? I know thirty years ago, Steve Martin used to play stadiums, but who has since? Putting aside whether or not this little dude is funny, I would think this show would be AWFUL...

Thoughts?

Show Me A Hero

This miniseries has everything 4.6 loves. A connection to The Wire, racial protest, NIMBY citizens and a heavy dose of Springsteen.

I think Parts 1 & 2 last night were great. My favorite part is playing "Spot the Wire Alumni." Last night, I spotted Levy, Orlando and Brother Mouzone.

It's amazing that something like this actually happened in real life. A federal judge threatening to bankrupt a city with fines and throwing council members in jail for contempt of court.
