In an update to the USF Board of Trustees, the university confirmed that the stadium is scheduled to open in fall 2027. 

Well then, for the spring game 2027 maybe one might be able to make a donation for a hard hat tour or sneak preview inside??

This indecision's killing me.

Long live Mick Jones.

Alright. Send a note to whoever makes the schedules that we play home games only. We suck on the run.

We are winning in the middle of the 7th today.

He said populous had delivered new renderings "yesterday" aka Friday

I think the only thing Populous delivered Friday are the 2 daytime shots in this brief article.  Nothing new in these as I can see.  Not real renderings that we're looking for.

The University of South Florida will hold its groundbreaking ceremony for its new on-campus stadium during the university’s annual Homecoming Week celebration...

Is there any possibility that the spring game 2027 is in the OCS?  I think that would be very cool for everyone's first look at the new stadium.

Left in the middle of the second quarter.  There was no announcer at all during the game which certainly didn't engage the fans very much.  It would have been nice to hear "X hands off to Y and gains about 5 yards".  I know CAG doesn't like announcers when we're on offense but today we got pretty loud rap music during every play which was kind of annoying.  The crowd was just not into it.  Seemed like we were watching a practice with zero play by play or commentary.  I guess I could have been listening to the stream to get that.  Anyhow, can't wait for August 31st.

I've got 2 extra.  DM me your email and name by 1:00.  I'll transfer them to the first one who DM's.

GO BULLS!

Heck yeah! Pretty much spot on. One of the main reasons for me wanting and hoping USF would get an OCS. It should develop and grow the town around USF. Going to be interesting watching it all develop.

I really hope the Claw redevelopment is for a "USF Main Street" with shops, bars, movies and food joints for the students.  Easy walk over Fletcher on a new pedestrian bridge (hopefully not the FIU contractor) to a safe and lively area that students would want to hang at.  I've said before, other than Greenery and that area at one time, USF has really had no college town environment for students.

Where is JPP??  My very reliable sources tell me he recently bought a landscaping nursery in West Palm.

Groundbreaking ceremonies during Homecoming October 14-19.  It's happening!  (Sorry, had to).

Time to break out the shovels. A groundbreaking ceremony for the on-campus stadium will be held during Homecoming Week, scheduled for Oct. 14-19, 2024, USF...

I refuse to believe the above is for UCF.  It's just way too clear, logical and easy to understand.  We'll do it better, I'm sure!

Agreed.  I see so many people on social media asking abut parking....I assume they've never been to any other OCS locations where the lots all over campus are utilized.

As with most other campuses, I don't think parking is going to be an issue.  You should be able to park in any non-residence lots plus MOSI plus whatever University Mall will be called then with shuttles running from all of them to the stadium.

If the ACC is looking to add only AAU schools moving forward, then I would think Kansas is the only one in play from the Big 12 as the four corners schools probably wouldn't move so fast.

Okay, back to the important stuff.  NOLA, Boca and Charlotte all booked, locked and loaded.  I will see our beloved Bulls for 8 consecutive games, home and away!  Can't wait!  Anyone else (besides Suzanne Ward of course) attending this entire stretch or maybe even more than 8 consecutive games??  

GO BULLS!

  Taking a piss in one is no big deal so come prepared old man. 

Get off my lawn!  I don't mind taking a piss in one, I think they just look like crap (no pun intended), especially lined up outside a brand new $350 million palatial gathering spot.

And CFN's way too early bowl projections.  Have us staying home against Florida.

Just thought of something.  Not sure if in the plans, but it would be nice to have a smallish building with permanent restrooms outside of the stadium on the route from the largest tailgating areas.  I hope we don't end up with a row of port-a-lets (plastic outhouses) littering the beautiful new landscape.

THIS...

NOT THIS...

Sounds like a lot of it is forest preserve that probably can't be developed.  I like the "main street" idea for student entertainment to walk to from campus.  That was the one area that has always been lacking at USF that most major campuses have across the street and is walkable.

BINGO!

if this is for real...

I can't find who this host/anchor is.  Would love to read his bio.
