From what I remember of the football revival attempts there was one in mid 00’s that was never more than some talking heads trying to tell people it would be easy. Then early/mid 10’s the Uni prez had a new helmet designed or given to him and made some “I’d love to be the one to bring back football” type comments. But basically sounds like he had it looked into financially and basically said “lolz, jk”
The Cessna tear down doesn’t mean much really when it comes to if they could ever restart the program. Anyone with much knowledge of D1 athletic facilities knew that they needed to build a new stadium or basically a complete remodel of Cessna to be a viable stadium for D1 football. If they ever make a true effort to bring back football I’d expect to hear about a 12-15k seat stadium going in up at the 29th and Oliver region
