PHILADELPHIA - Temple President Richard M. Englert today announced that the university is taking "the next step" with its plans for a multipurpose facility that includes a football stadium. The university will file a project submission to the City Planning Commission as it seeks approvals for the proposal.
"We have said from the start that our first priority has been to engage with our neighbors and local leaders to determine the potential for, and impact of, this facility," Englert said. "After more than two years of these discussions, and in light of the project's tremendous value for Temple and North Philadelphia, I have concluded that the time is right to take this step.
