I don't see Publix being a sponsor of the stadium.  

DR; can't consider the possibility.  Does not compute.

This thread is for real.  I know because it has Photoshop work in it.

I'm not saying that you haven't seen something and that someone didn't relay the information that you mentioned above, but I'm skeptical that if such an exact plan were in place why it would be 2 year

My statement was harsh, sorry. But, your statement was asinine. We're talking about a huge investment from our university on what most have considered a pipe dream for the better part of 20 years, and you're really moaning about CROSSING THE STREET. Wow.

If this happens I will re-enstate my season tickets despite living literally across the country now; and give away the tickets when I can't be there. This would be HUGE. EPIC. GET IT DONE. Don't let complainers stop or slow it down.

Dude, I wasn't moaning about crossing the street.  I'm simply trying to suggest that a location in the middle of campus provides for a much better gameday experience than just parking in a huge lot next to the stadium. That's all.  I can live with the MOSI site, but for me it is not the preferred site.

79 the problem is that campus is already congested. It takes room we don't necessarily have to build on campus. The easiest solution would be to demolish the track stadium, but even then you have to move things around. It also requires us to well, build a track stadium or place one within the new football stadium. It also has the problem of creating new inlets into campus that aren't there. You'd have to find ways to funnel everyone in from Bruce b downs. Fletcher, and fowler, two of which are already built out and difficult to expand. Putting the stadium across fowler at MOSI allows you to easily push everyone into the campus and use the athletic fields for parking.

Actually, it could fit well... see the first image on my post here: http://www.thebullspen.com/topic/101949-we-are/?page=2#comment-1421599

The Maple & Holly location would use multiple entries into campus... the MOSI location would shift parking and traffic to the south side... and would cause issues with pedestrians crossing Fowler Ave.   (Not to mention the problems with 46th and 50th Streets).

(Think of it like this, what if RayJay was built where HCC is now... with parking in the current lots... everyone crossing Dale Mabry?)

Also, with MOSI we have to demolish the existing structures... so that adds to the cost.

The OP is like:

And that reminds me, is there room in the budget for a monorail?

IF  this is real, they are doing it without going thru the normal (proper) channels. There is NOTHING going thru the construction office.

this is real. I'm not baiting you guys. I would not tell you guys something on this scale and lie about it. Also I'm not a big huge fan of a OCS... Makes my drive longer.

What if we're all wrong and they're going to build it on off Bruce b downs after they move the Med school downtown? I do think that Maple and Holly location would be the sweet spot, but we'd need to build a new parking garage or lot.

MOSI would be a great location. Not bad at all...

 

 

However, this isn't happening. USF is still in the 'study' phase. There is no contract, fundraising, or investing set for an OCS.
