The plan also calls for the total re-modeling of Loyola Hall.

I understand Loyola Hall renovations to start this year
Also plans are being worked on for renovations to the interior of the Main Building (2024-2025 timeline)
Timeline for the new building is also 2024-2025 timeframe
Wonder if the exterior features mentioned in the article means additional seating capacity at Wasmer Field and perhaps some home football games being held at Wasmer in the future?

I wondered the same. The pics in the article don't show any new wasmer seating so can't tell yet. Perhaps someone else here is in the know

Great choice on his part, but I think after this year he will have some offers that look more attractive than Toledo. But this gives him a chance to play somewhere early and with a coach who will like him. To this day it drives me crazy that my OU Bobcats don't go after some of the second tier players in the Cleveland area.

That’s a great point about OU bobcats. Not just them ,seems like just Toledo and BG go after the second tier kids in northeast Ohio.

Is it official or mere speculation. Remember, according to some ( one), we were supposed to play Massillon at Wasmer ( cap. 400)

On that speculation side, are the Guardians still looking for an away game when St. Ignatius hosts in October at Progressive field?

I have no idea how reliable the source is, but I was told that Ignatius would have up to 3 games at Wasmer this year.

I doubt they would be playing Hoban or St. X at Wasmer, but nothing would surprise me. Of course, the neighborhood might have something to say. I also wonder when the Carroll Gym and garage are going to be knocked down to make room for the new addition to the school. Construction certainly would affect the usage of Wasmer.

If true its a bit disappointing, although I'm not a fan of the Euclid and JCU rumor either. Guess we will know sooner or later about reality of attending games
 
I don't like 3 games at Wasmer. The North game was special but that place can't even seat Eds v Ignatius JV and freshman games.

Really hoping Ignatius starts running a different offense.

My understanding (which is dated by a couple of months) of the milestones for the new building - Board approval at end of 2023, construction to start May 2024, completion by August 2025. So, they could do something in 2023 similar to Kyle's farewell game at Wasmer for perhaps PCC, Canada and maybe St X. Agree with your doubts about the Hoban game

Putting three games at Wasmer will be an admission that they can no longer compete with Ed's and have little interest in drawing grade schoolers to see their games. Also, it pretty much says to the neighbors that, despite years of smoothing over relations, we're going to park wherever we want, so, if you want to park in front of your house, tough luck. That being said, I wouldn't put it past them to do it.
 
Does anyone know who the Week 10 game is against? I know it's a home game, just haven't figured out the opponent.
 
Ridgemont High ? They could be formidable, as they are very fast and their coach, Mr. Hand, is known to be a strict disciplinarian. Since they have to travel from the San Fernando Valley, not much of a crowd is expected, so the game will be at Progressive Field.
 
With the loaded schedule vs. a non-loaded team, I would be fine with a week 10 bye. Every team makes the playoffs now so another game against a superior opponent seems like lunacy, but what do I know.

Ignatius is now at the point where teams long dormant or even new are now more successful.
 
I would be ok with a bye any other week, but not week 10. Just seems problematic for week 11. Have zero idea what to expect with the new regime, has been eerily quiet since the Bentley news
 
Recently, it was the Football North game, but with the ruling against Canadian teams counting in the Harbins, a week off would be good to regroup and heal a bit.
 
The schedule is brutal and will lead to enough issues leading into week 11.

As for the team, it's pretty much the same as it has been- some talented kids but massive questions at QB and on the lines. Specifically the defensive line.
