Watching the Super Bowl last night (and crying in my salsa that I lost so..many..bets), I started to look up the ol' XL. I came across the article that said that the NFL partnered with the NAIAS and the city to build a youth education center. http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi- bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY= /www/story/02-02-2005/00029446 87&EDATE= Has any progress been made on this, or has the money 'disappeared'? |

This has been built and open for a couple of years now. It is on the site of Herman Gardens off of Tireman. |

They put some pretty signs up on a new fence in Herman Gardens. I went with the Giants, always rooting for the underdog...plus this time it wouldn't have been bad to lose because I'd see history made either way! What a kick-ass game. |

Yeah, should'a looked before I spoke...I went to googlemaps and got a cool streetlevel view of a building with a HUGE football over it's front doors. So much for the start of this day...heh. Cheers |

Thanks for the info. That football looks mighty tacky though. |
