@dominyckb You can now own your own AD… 64-acre former college campus in Michigan is for sale. 23 buildings. Roughly 668,000 square feet. Dorms. Athletic fields. Classrooms. Indoor recreation space. And no public asking price. But the interesting buyer might not be another university. It could be a media company. Imagine turning the campus into an IRL production and activation playground. Studios in the classrooms. Creator housing in the dorms. Trick-shot sets on the fields. Branded competitions in the gym. Youth camps. Creator residencies. Corporate retreats. Live events. Entire brand takeovers. Basically: Dude Perfect school. The bigger idea is that media companies used to rent locations. The next generation may own them. Because once you control the physical environment, you can create content, host audiences, sell experiences, and give brands something much more valuable than signage. A world they can activate inside. #collegesports #realestate #landforsale #sportsbusiness #sports

    64 Acre Athletic Department + University For Sale 😱

Transcript

Why are people missing this? Data centers, luxury villas, they're all cool, but they ain't this. But the good news is is that your utopian dream is still alive because this 64 acre college campus in Michigan is for sale. Now imagine having a blank canvas on 668,000 square feet of training facilities and fields. Not to mention dorms, restaurants, and cafeterias to host whoever you want here. Dude Perfect University, perhaps? Or an r and d lab for IRL activations and production studios? Sure. Regardless of what it can be, Sienna Heights University is about to become the playground for whatever lunatic is crazy enough to buy it. My personal take is that the IMG of the North could look really sick. But then again, do not let Palmer Luckey get his hands on this thing. Now if you could get a shot at this, comment down below what you would build and send this to a friend who should buy it.
