PHILADELPHIA -- As?Temple?kicks off its football season, the schools drive for a 35,000-seat stadium appears to be stalled.Facing intense community opposition, skeptical legislators and a summer leadership crisis that forced Temples provost and president to step down, the school has no clear timeline to bring a proposal to City Hall.The Owls have paid rent since 2003 to play 6 miles away at Lincoln Financial Field, home of the?Philadelphia Eagles.?To build its own campus facility, Temple needs legislation passed by City Council -- but a spokeswoman for Darrell Clarke, who represents the universitys North Philadelphia district, says first there must be a rigorous and respectful community engagement process.As of now, and as far as Council President Clarke is concerned, there is no stadium proposal for Council to consider, Clarkes spokeswoman Jane Roh said Friday.The $126 million plan has generated controversy since February, when Temples board of trustees approved a feasibility study, hired architects and tore down apartments on university land near campus.Neighbors worry that traffic and parking shortages could jam streets with drunk tailgaters. Temple wants to build across the street from an elementary school, a home for the elderly, and dozens of rowhomes.Why do you need a stadium in the middle of a residential area? said resident Karen Sisco. When school is in session and they decide to have a game on Friday night, you have the rigmarole, the students who get drunk and forget that it is a community and have bad behavior.But supporters say the stadium will make the campus -- historically a commuter school -- a tighter-knit community. The school serves more than 34,000 full-time students.You see every other southern school or out west -- thats everything they are, is football. Thats how you grow a university, said Tyler Baldo, a junior advertising major from Delaware.The university says rent at Lincoln Financial Field will triple from $1 million per year to $3 million starting 2018. So, by building its own facility -- financed through donations, loans and grants -- Temple wont have to pay rent. Officials say tuition will not be affected.It makes financial sense, university spokesman Ray Betzner said. That $3 million can be used to support the educational mission of the university.The Owls have seen a rebirth after decades as one of the worst programs in college football. They went 9-4 in 2009, their best record since 1979. Last season, they took off under coach Matt Rhule, including beating rival Penn State for the first time in 74 years in front of nearly 70,000 fans.Ive been at Temple since `02 -- I can give a really good lecture, but Im never going to get 69,000 people to come to it, said Scott Gratson, associate professor of communications. How the campus grew together, came together, over that event, was absolutely spectacular.When talk of a new stadium began, pushback was immediate. The Stadium Stompers, a group of student and community activists, capped off a series of protests earlier this year by presenting Temples then-president, Neil Theobald, with an award for Best Gentrifier.Temple occupies a large swath of impoverished North Philadelphia, and the largely black population has long been concerned about being shoved out by rising rents and an expanding university footprint.The student population living near campus has more than doubled in the past decade, and a May report by the Pew Charitable Trusts found that median home sale prices near the proposed stadium site have spiked tenfold in 13 years, from $11,250 to $140,000.Temple has tried to soothe concerns by stressing the potential benefits of a stadium, including new jobs and retail outlets.But residents remain unconvinced. The Stompers are planning more protests, with ideas ranging from blocking the homecoming parade to sculpting and stomping a mini-stadium.For now, Temple is conducting a $1.25 million traffic study.The university and the board was effectively going through due diligence -- a feasibility review of the project, and that hasnt changed, said Kevin Feeley, spokesman for Temples board of trustees.

FRISCO, Texas --?Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant?was diagnosed with a slight hairline fracture Wednesday, but coach Jason Garrett would not rule him out of Sundays game against the?San Francisco 49ers.A source told ESPN that Bryant -- three days after suffering the injury -- had an MRI on Wednesday morning, which revealed a tibial plateau fracture to his right knee.Another source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that the injury could sideline Bryant up to three weeks, depending on how the receiver feels. He did not practice Wednesday, but Garrett said he worked out and were hopeful that hell be able to play.What Ive been told that it is a day-to-day, week-to-week injury, Garrett said. Weve had players with this kind of injury who missed no time in the past, and other players who have missed up to a week, two [weeks] or more than that.Well take it day by day, and well see how he does when he comes in [Thursday], see how he feels, and well make our evaluations there as we go forward.Garrett would not say whether the players who have had similar injuries in the past were skill position players, but a source said Bryants position could mean a longer recovery.Bryant missed only six plays after he was injured on the second play Sunday against the Chicago Bears?when linebacker Christian Jones dragged him down after an 11-yard gain. Bryants knee and ankle got caught under Jones, and he went to the ground before getting off the field.He finished the game with three catches for 40 yards, including a 17-yyard touchdown in the fourth quarter.dddddddddddd Bryant played 52 of 68 snaps but was not on the field late in the fourth quarter as the Cowboys attempted to run out the clock.That he did not have the MRI until Wednesday morning led to confusion regarding Bryants status, but Garrett would not clarify why it was delayed.I dont want to get into the whole medical procedures, Garrett said. We have this information now with Dez, and were going to take his situation day by day. Well evaluate his status for the game as the week goes on.The Cowboys offense was stagnant last season without Bryant and quarterback Tony Romo, who missed 12 games with a twice-broken left collarbone. Romo is currently recovering from a compression fracture in his back suffered in the preseason and is improving but not ready for practice.If Bryant cant play Sunday, then Brice Butler, who has one catch for 16 yards in three games, would move into the starting lineup. Rookie Dak Prescott said Bryants potential absence does not affect the Cowboys plans.I dont really pay attention to who Im throwing to, said Prescott, who has connected with Bryant 11 times for 150 yards and a touchdown this season. I just go through my reads, whoevers open gets the ball. So I mean hope [he] gets well, is well really, really soon, but it doesnt really affect this offense.ESPN Staff Writer Nick Wagoner contributed to this report. ' ' '
