Wow. That's pretty great.
The best part of the whole thing is MSF finally has a good name -- Cooper Field. (ok, maybe not the best thing... but I do like it)

Mr. Cooper is a New Zealander. Is Georgetown Rugby about to become a D1 sport?

DFW's absence from commenting looms large. Methinks he won't have anything to post about now that the darn thing is finally going to be finished  I kid I kid. Great news for the university and athletics in general. Here's to Gtown finally competing on a national stage in the facilities arm race. |

A classmate of mine at Georgetown, who lives in Newport Beach, home of the Coopers says: "Neat unpretentious people. Very involved with GU. All kids are gu grads at one level or more."
So thank you to the Coopers for this wonderful gift!

I offered to donate money if they would name it Easy Ed Stadium but I fell a few $'s short.
