The new skate park would be built under the Frederick Douglas, Susan B. Anthony Bridge.  The park would be more than 70,000 square feet; expected to provide a mixture of traditional and modern trends.  If approved, nearly $50,000 will go towards a feasibility study and site plans.  Construction could start in 2015.  The total price tag for the project is expected to be around $2.5 million.  While that price is not set in stone, the feasibility study is expected to firm up cost estimates.  Roc City Skatepark continues fundraising efforts for the proposed park.  So far, the group has raised $80,000.  The feasibility study and the design work are expected to be completed by this summer.

Report: SU's Doug Marrone to coach The Bills

Doug Marrone has agreed to leave Syracuse and become the coach of the Buffalo Bills, league sources told ESPN on Sunday morning. Marrone replaces Chan Gailey, who was fired after going 16-32 over three seasons. Marrone has yet to sign a deal. Marrone takes over a Bills team that has not had a winning record since 2004, when it finished 9-7, and has missed the playoffs for 13 straight seasons -- the NFL's longest active drought. The 48-year-old Marrone went 25-25 in four seasons at Syracuse, turning around a program that had gone 26-57 over the previous seven years. Syracuse rolled to an 8-5 finish by winning six of its last seven games this season, including a 38-14 win over West Virginia in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. The Syracuse job was Marrone's first as a head coach. He has seven years of NFL experience. Marrone spent 2006-08 as the New Orleans Saints' offensive coordinator and was the New York Jets' offensive line coach from 2002-05. The Bills' decision to go with Marrone came on a day they were scheduled to interview Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy. The meeting, however, was postponed by McCoy, a person familiar with the coach's plans told The Associated Press. The person said McCoy asked that the Bills reschedule the meeting because he was already interviewing for several other coaching vacancies this weekend. [MyDriveFM.com]
